Question
Answer
Spongy bone found in   epiphysis  
Compact bone found in   diaphysis  
Occurs in epiphysis or red marrow   hematopoiesis  
Scientfic name for bone shaft   diaphysis  
site of fat storage   yellow marrow cavity  
region of longitudinal growth in a child   epiphyseal plate  
composed of hyaline cartilage until end of adolescence   epiphyseal plate  
layers of calcified matrix   concentric lamellae  
residence of osteocytes   lacunae  
canal that carries blood vessels and nerves   central canal  
nonliving structural part of bone   bone matrix  
tiny canals connecting lacunae   canaliculi  
bone forms from fibrous membrane   intramembranous ossification  
cartilage bones develop from   hyaline cartilage  
organic bone matrix   osteoid  
enzyme encourages deposit of calcium salts within matrix   alkaline phosphate  
when trapped in lacunae osteoblasts change into   osteocytes  
large number of osteoblasts found in   inner periosteum layer  
periosteal bud invades deteriorating hyaline cartilage shaft   endochondral ossification  
secondary ossification centers appear in   epiphyses  
epiphyseal plates made of   hyaline cartilage  
in appositional growth bone reabsorption occurs on the   endosteal surface  
maturation of newly formed bone matrix takes about   10 days  
hormone released when blood calcium levels begin to drop   parathyroid hormone  
mature bone cells maintain bone   osteocytes  
lack of muscle use causes muscle and bone   atrophy  
increased deposit of bony matrix occurs at sites of   stress or tension  
immature or matrix depositing bone cells are   osteoblasts  
causes blood calcium to be deposited in bones as   calcium salts  
bone cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium are   osteoclasts
