canals that pass through compact bone; the trabeculae of spongy bone
endosteum contains
bone-forming and bone-destroying cells
structure of short, irregular, and flat bones
thin plates of periosteum-covered compact bone on outside and endosteum-covered spongy bone within
T/F Short, irregular and flat bones contain bone marrow (between their trabeculae) but no significant marrow cavity is present
true
hematopoietic tissue
red marrow
red marrow found
within trabecular cavities of spongy bone of long bones and diploe of flat bones
within trabecular cavities of spongy bone of long bones and diploe of flat bones called
red marrow cavities
in adults, medullary cavity (containing fat) extends into epiphysis little red marrow found in spongy bone cavities; blood cells production in adult long bones mostly occurs in
heads of femur and humerus
T/F Red marrow in in diploe of flat bones and some irregular bones is more active in hematopoiesis than red marrow found in long bone.
True
bone-forming cells
osteoblasts
structural unit of compact bone
osteon or Haverian system
an elongated bylinder oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone; function as tiny weight-bearing pillars
osteon
each matrix tube called
lamella
canal running through the core of each osteon that contains small blood vessels and nerve fibers is called
central or Haversian canal
canal lies at right angles to the long axis of the bone and connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to those in the central canals and the medullary cavity
perforating or Volkmann's canal
maintain bone matrix; act as stress sensors

osteocytes found in
lacunae
hairlike canals connect the lacunae to each other and to the central canal
