🗑
As an adult the memdullary cavity is filled with _____________   Yellow bone marrow (fat)  
🗑
The tough fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers the outside of the bone everywhere except the articular cartilage   Periosteum

A joint is also called an ____________   articulation  
🗑
A three month old fetus has an early skeleton–like frame that is composed of ________–and _____________   cartilage and connective membrane  
🗑
The process whereby the cartilage and connective tissue membrane of the fetal skeleton become bone is called ______________   Ossification  
🗑
The flat bones of the skull are initially constructed of __________   Connective tissue membranes  
🗑
What type of cells migrate into the connective tissue membrane of flat bones to turn it into bone   Osteoblasts  
🗑
In long bones what material is replaced by osteoblasts   Cartilage  
🗑
Longitudinal bone growth (growing longer) occurs at the _____________   Epiphyseal disc or growth plate  
🗑
What hormones stop the longitudinal growth of bone   Estrogen and Testosterone  
🗑
Which hormone causes the bones to quit growing longitudinally the soonest   Estrogen  
🗑
As a bone grows wider it does not become any heavier because _______ cells remove bone from the medullary canal and ________ cells add bone to the outside of the bone   Osteoclasts, Osteoblasts  
🗑

🗑
An opening through a bone uaually serves as a passageway for nerves, blood vessels, or ligaments   foramen  
🗑
A depression or groove in a bone   Fossa  
🗑
A tunnel or tubelike passageway   Meatus  
🗑
A cavity or holow space   Sinus  
🗑
A bone brreak (fracture) in whih local tissue damage is minimal and the bone does not break the skin   Closed or simple fracture  
🗑
A bone break in which the end(s) of the bone break the skin and soft tissue damage is major. Repair within 4 hours will reduce risk of infection   Open or compound fracture  
🗑
An incomplete fracture in which the bone breaks incompletely and usually occurs in children   Greenstick or incomplete fracture  
🗑
What are the two types of osseous tissue that make up bone?   compact (dense bone) and spongy (cancellous)  
🗑
