| Osteoprogenitor cell, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts | 4 bone cell types |
| Osteoprogenitor cell | unspecialized cell, develops into osteoblasts, only bone cell type that undergoes cell division |
| Periosteum, endosteum, perforating canals, and central canals | where osteoprogenitor cells are found |
| osteoblasts | bone-building cells; secretes osteoid/new bone matrix; include collagen and other organic components |
| osteocyte | mature bone cell; maintains bone metabolism; forms when matrix surrounds osteoblasts |
| osteoclasts | bone-resorbing cell; large, multinucleated, formed from monocyte-lineage cells; uses enzymes and acid to digest bone matrix |
| Diaphysis | Shaft/body of long bone; hollow space surrounded by compact bone |
| epiphyses | proximal and distal ends of long bone |
| metaphysis | region where ephiphysis and diaphysis meet; ephphyseal plate located here in growing bone |
| articular cartilage | thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering joint surfaces; avascular |
| periosteum | dense white fibrous membrane covering the bone except at joint surfaces |
| provides attachment for tendons and ligaments; contains blood vessels and osteoblasts | functions of periosteum |
| medullary cavity | cavity in diaphysis that contains yellow/fatty marrow and blood vessels in adults; helps reduce bone weight |
| endosteum | thin membrane lining medullary cavity; contains bone-forming cells |
| Compact bone vs spongy bone ORGANIZATION | osteons (Haversian systems) vs. trabeculae (no osteons) |
| compact bone vs spongy bone SPACES | few spaces, dense vs web-like marrow-filled spaces |
| compact bone vs spongy bone LOCATION | primarily outside of bone vs interior of bone, found in epiphyses and medullary cavity of diaphysis |
| compact bone vs spongy bone MARROW RELATIONSHIP | provides outer support/protection vs trabeculae support and protect red bone marrow |
| compact bone vs spongy bone STRESS | dense and strongest form of bone tissue vs trabeculae are arranged along lines of stress |
| osteon (Haversian systems) | repeating structural unit of compact bone |
| concentric lamellae | concentric layers of mineralized extracellular matrix around the central canal |
| lacunae | spaces containing osteocytes |
| canaliculi | tiny channels connecting lacunae and central canal; filled with fluid |

| endochondral ossification EXAMPLE | long-bone development |
| cartilage model, primary ossification center, medullary cavity develops in diaphysis, secondary ossification centers in epiphyses, articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate remain | sequence of ossification |
| Interstitial growth of cartilage occurs on epiphyseal side of growth plate; cartilage is replaced by bone on diaphysis side by endochondral ossification | growth in length |
| new tissue is deposited on outer surface; osteoblasts add bone externally while osteoclasts enlarge medullary cavity | growth in thickness (appositional growth) |
| Zone of resting cartilage | small, scattered chondrocytes; anchors epiphyseal plate to epiphysis |

| Zone of hypertrophy | chondrocytes enlarge and mature; arranged in columns |
| zone of calcification | cartilage matrix hardens; chondrocytes die |
| zone of ossification | osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone |
| resting, proliferation, hypertrophy, calcification, ossification | order of zones |
| Bone remodeling | ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue |
| growth years | bone formation exceeds resorption |
| young adulthood | formation and resorption are more balanced |
| later adulthood | increased resorption at endosteal surface relative to periosteal formation, producing net bone loss |

| reparative phase | fibrocartilaginous callus forms, followed by bony callus; capillaries infiltrate and granulation tissue organizes; osteoblasts produce spongy bone trabeculae |
| remodeling phase | callus is remodeled; dead bone is resorted by osteoclasts; compact bone replaces spongy bone |
