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
