In compact bone, the osteocytes and layers of extracellular matrix called lamellae are concentrically clustered around a central canal forming a cylinder shaped unit called |
|
Osteons |
Run longitudinally with the axis of the bone, functioning as weight bearing pillars, resisting compression |
|
Spongy bone |
Do not aggregate around central canals instead the cells lie in the trabeculae and get nutrients from substances diffusing into the canaliculi that lead to the surfaces of these thin, bony plates |

Mesenchyme cells that are part of the connective tissue enlarge and further differentiate into bone forming cells called |
|
Osteocytes |
Osteoblasts completely secluded in the lacunae |
|
Primary ossification center |
In a long bone, bone tissue begins to replace hyaline cartilage in the center of the diaphysis |
|
Secondary ossification center |
Appear in the epiphysis, and spongy bone forms in all directions from them |
|
Epiphyseal plate |
As spongy bone is deposited in the diaphysis and in the epiphysis, this band of cartilage remains between the two ossification centers |
|
Zone of resting cartilage |
1st layer of epiphyseal plate ,closest to the end of the epiphysis, composed of resting cells that do not actively participate in growth, this layer anchors the epiphyseal plate to the bony tissue of the epiphysis |
|
Zone of proliferating cartilage |
2nd layer of the epiphyseal plate, includes rows of many young cells undergoing mitosis |
|
Zone of hypertrophic cartilage |
3rd layer, the rows of older cells left behind when new cells appear |
|
Zone of calcified cartilage |
4th layer of the epiphyseal plate, thin, composed of dead cartilage cells and calcified extracellular matrix |
|
Growth hormone |
Secreted by the pituitary glanf , stimulates division of cartilage cells in the epiphyseal plates |
|
Pituitary dwarfism |
Too little growth hormone is secreted the long bones of the limbs fail to develope normally |
|
Pituitary gigantism |
Excess growth hormone is released before the epiphyseal plates ossify, height may exeed 8 ft |
