| There are two types of bone: | Compact and spongey |
| Compact/cortical bone is... and has... | harder and denser than spongy bone and forms the tough outer shell of each bone. in compact bone there are little or no spaces and gaps within the matrix. |
| Bones main constituent is ___________, which is composed of... | matrix, composed of inorganic (hydroxyapatite) and organic (type I collagen) substances |
| Compact bone feature: Osteons | the predominant feature of compact bone, they are cylindrical structures consisting of onion-like concentric rings of matrix surrounding a central canal. |
| Compact bone feature: Lamellae | rings of matrix that make up the osteon |
| Compact bone feature: Central Haversian Canal | a channel through the core of each osteon; it permits the passage of neurovascular structures. |
| Compact bone feature: Perforating (Volkmann’s) canal) | running 90 degrees from the central canals they connect them with the periosteum |
| Compact bone feature: Lacunae | tiny cavities located between the lamellae; they contain osteocytes (bone cells) |
| Compact bone feature: Canaliculi | tiny canals that radiate from the lacunae to the central canals for the transport of nutrients. |
| Compact bone feature: Circumferential lamellae | a continuous layer of lamellae that run around the outer surface of the bone, lying beneath the periosteum. |
| Compact bone feature:Periosteum | A fibrous layer that covers the exterior of each bone; it has a rich neurovascular supply. |
| Compact bone feature: Interstitial | located between complete osteons; they are the remnants of older partially reabsorbed osteons. |
| Compact bone: perforating and central canals | Perforating or Volkmann’s canals traverse the compact bone, connecting the central canals of the osteons to the neurovascular supply of the periosteum. |
| Spongy/trabecular bone | lies deep to an outer shell of compact bone and is formed by branching and anastomosing bars and plates of osseous tissue. |
| What occupies spongy bone matrix? | There are no blood vessels in the spongy bone matrix but instead they occupy the bone marrow spaces. |
| Spongy bone's function | There are no blood vessels in the spongy bone matrix but instead they occupy the bone marrow spaces. |
| Spongy bone feature: lamellae | layers of bone matrix that form the trabeculae. |
| Spongy bone feature: lacunae | tiny cavities located between the lamellae; they contain osteocytes (bone cells). |

| Diaphysis forms what in the long bone? And what is it formed by? | forms the shaft of a long bone. It is a long cylindrical structure, which is hollowed to form the medullary cavity and is filled with bone marrow. It is formed by compact bone and a small amount of spongy bone at the extremities |
| Epiphysis forms what in the long bone? | the expanded heads located at either end of the diaphysis. They are coated in compact bone and filled with spongy bone. Bone marrow fills the spaces between the trabeculae of the spongy bone. |
| Epiphyseal line | is a plate of compact bone that lies between the diaphysis and epiphysis. |
| Epiphyseal line allows the diaphysis to do what? | It is a remnant of a plate of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis of the bone to increase in length until early adulthood; the cartilage is replaced with bone in early adulthood when growth stops. |
| Long bone classification and examples | Long bones have a long shaft that is cylindrical in cross section and usually expanded at either end. They act as levers for the skeletal muscles to act upon. Examples: Humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, tibia, fibula and metatarsals. |
| Short bone classification and examples | Short bones are generally equal in width and length. They allow small amounts of varied movement when articulated together. Examples: Carpal and tarsal bones. |
| Flat bone classification and examples | Flat bones are smooth and thin; they protect the soft internals and provide attachments for muscles. Example: Sternum, scapula, parietal bone, occipital bone, temporal bone, frontal bone, ribs and hip bone. |
