Anatomy of a bone
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cartilage covering the epiphysis | Articular Cartilage |
| Process where osteoblasts lay down new lamellae | Bone Formation |
| Process of removing and rebuilding bone | Bone Remodeling |
| Tiny canals that radiate from the central canal that supplies nutrients to the lacunae | Canaliculi |
| Shaft of long bone made mostly of compact bone | Diaphysis |
| Thin line that is a reminant of the epiphyseal plate | Epiphyseal Line |
| Ends of the long bone made mostly of spongy bone | Epiphysis |
| Tiny cavities found in the lamellae that contain the osteocytes | Lacunae |
| Concentric circles of calcified matrix found an osteon | Lamellae |
| Center of long bone where yellow marrow is found in adults | Medullary |
| Bone formation | Ossification |
| Cuboidal, bone forming cells active in bone formation and remodeling | Osteoblast |
| Large, multi-nuclei, bone removing cells that remove pre-existing bone | Osteoclast |
| Mature bone cells found in the lacunae | Osteocyte |
| System of interconnecting canals in adult bones; also called Havcersian System | Osteon |
| Connective tissue covering the diaphysis | Periosteum |
| Forms red blood cells and found in spongy bones and the epiphysis of some long bones | Red Marrow |
| Found in the medullary cavity primarily functions as fat storage | Yellow Marrow |
