support
store minerals
blood cell production
protection
leverage/ movement
the matrix of bone is primarily composed of two substances (one inorganic and the other organic) List these two substances and their approximate contribution to the weight of the bone
-calcium: 2/3

-collagen fibers: 1/3
what is the technical term for mature bone cells
osteocytes
technical term for ell found in the inner or outer surfaces of the bone that lay down the organic component of new bone matrix
osteoblasts
technical term for cells found in the innermost layer of the periosteum and endosteum, that divide to produce daughter cells that become matrix producing bone cells
osteoprogenitor cells
technical term or cells derived from the same stem cells as white blood cells that break down bone matrix
osteoclasts
what is the basic functional unit of mature COMPACT bone
osteon
within the osteon the bone cells are arranged in concentric circles around what structure
central canal
what passageway in compact bone tend to run perpendicular to the bone surface and house blood vessels that deliver blood to osteons deeper in the bone and service the medullary cavity
perforating canals
What do we call the small passageways that connect the lacunae in compact bone to each other and to the central canal
canaliculi
compact bone is organized in layers. What do we call the layers arranged in circles around each central canal
concentric lamellae
compact bone is organized in layers. what do we call the layer that fill the spaces between the osteons
interstitial lamellae
compact bone is organized in layers. what are the layers that form on the external and internal surfaces of the bone
circumferential lamellae
term is used for the plates or struts in spongy/cancellous bone
trabeculae
what do we call the central, tubular portion or the shaft of a long bone
diaphysis
what do we call the ends of a long bone. what might we find in this area
epiphyses
-red bone marrow
what is the name of the tissue layer that surrounds an individual bone? isolating the bone and contributing to the joint capsule
periosteum
name for the tissue layer tha houses osteoprogenitor cells and lines the medullary cavity and insides of the central and perforating canals
endosteum
name the bone formation process that involves bone forming from mesenchyme or fibrous connective tissue and give an example of bone that forms by this process
intramembranous ossification
-clavicle, bone of skull
what name is given to bones such as the patella, that will form within tendons
sesamoid bones
name the bone formation process that involves bone replacing an existing cartilage model and given an example of a bone that forms by this process
endochondral ossification
-long bone, vertebrae
what do we call cartilage that remains as a zone of growth between the shaft and ends of an developing long bones
epiphyseal cartilage/ plate
what do we call the region where epiphyseal cartilage is located
metaphysis
what do we call the area of bone that used to be the cartilaginous, growing section of a lone bone
epiphyseal line
term used for growth in the diameter of a bone
appositional growth
term for bones that are long slender with distinct ends and a shaft. ex
