Term
Definition
Skeletal System   show
🗑
show Support, storage, blood cell production, protection, movement.  
🗑
show (bone) a supporting tissue that has specialized cells and a matrix consisting of extracellular protein fibers and a ground substance.  
🗑
Bone Texture   show
🗑
Calcium Phosphate   show
🗑
show 1/3 of bone weight.  
🗑
show Long central shaft of long bones.  
🗑
Ephyses   show
🗑
show Solid, usually where stresses come from a limited range of directions. Osteons are only in this type of bone!  
🗑
show (cancellous) a network of bony rods or struts (trabecular) separated by spaces. Reduce weight of skeleton, makes it easier for muscles to move bones.  
🗑
Trabeculae   show
🗑
Endosteum   show
🗑
Osteocytes   show
🗑
Lacunae   show
🗑
show In narrow sheets in lacunae in osteocytes  
🗑
Canaliculi   show
🗑
show The basic functional unit of a COMPACT BONE. Inside osteocytes and are arranged in concentric layers around a perforating canal that contains 1 or more blood vessels. Lamellae are arranged parallel to the long axis of central canal.  
🗑
show (Haversian Canal) prove passage ways for linking the blood vessels of the central canals with those of the periosteum and the marrow cavity.  
🗑
Joint Capsoles   show
🗑
show Osteocytes, Osteoclasts, and Osteoblasts  
🗑
show Dissolve the bony matrix. Giant cells with 50 or more nuclei. Release stored minerals through osteolysis, helps regulate phosphate and calcium in body fluids.  
🗑
Osteoblasts   show
🗑
show The replacement of cartilage with bone, during development. Deposits of calcium happen during this. Active Process.  
🗑
show Bone develops within sheets of membranes of connective tissues, in deep dermis. Process begins in ossification center. How flat bones are made.  
🗑
Endochondral Ossification   show
🗑
Ephysal Closure   show
🗑
show When a bone grows longer it also grows wider, when cells of periosteum develop into osteoblasts and produce bony matrix. Marrow cavity grows as osteoblasts erode inner surface.  
🗑
show Calcium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin A, Vitamin C  
🗑
show 80 bones. 20 in skull, 7 associate bones, 6 auditory ossicles, hyoid bone, 24 thoracic cage (rib cage) with sternum, and 26 bones in vertebral column
