| Function of bone and skeletal system | support, protection, assistance in movement, mineral storage and release (calcium and phosphorus), bone cell production, triglyceride storage |
| What are the contents of the ECM | water, collagen fibers (prevents bone from being brittle), crystallized mineral salts |
| What are osteogenic cells | unspecialized stem cells that undergo cell division into bone cells |
| What are osteoblasts | bone building cells, secrete collagen fibers and organic components needed to build ECM, initiate calcification, turn into osteocytes |
| What are osteocytes | Mature bone cells, maintain bone's daily metabolism, stops putting down ECM |
| What are osteoclasts | break down ECM (resorption), part of normal development, growth, maintenance and repair |
| What is the ruffled border of the osteoclast | deeply folded plasma membrane, releases powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids |
| True/False: Compact bone forms the external layer of all bones but is not the bulk of the diaphyses of long bones | False: it is both |
