| Osteocytes | 2 types Osteoblasts-add calcium to the bone and Osteoclasts-take calcium out of the bone |
| Lacunae | Fluid filled space around the cell |
| Canaliculi | Connect lacunae back to the central canal |
| Endochondral | Depositing calcium into cartilage |
| Ossification | Process of hardening
(the bone getting harder) |
| Primary ossification center | The process of making the shaft turn into bone |
| Secondary ossification center | The processes that grow on the bone |
