Question
Answer
What is an osteon   Functional unit of compact bone  
🗑
Central canal (bone)   Contains blood vessels and nerves -lined with endosteum (thin vascular membrane of connective tissue)  
🗑
Perforating canals   -perpendicular to surface of Bone -carry blood vessels into deep bone marrow  
🗑
Lamellae   Layers of bone matrix -collagen fibers of neighboring lamellae run in opposite directions to resist twisting and bending forces  
🗑
Concentric lamellae   Surround central canal  
🗑
Interstitial lamellae   Fill spaces between osteons  
🗑
Circumferential lamellae   Are at outer and inner bone surfaces  
🗑
Trabecular of spongy bone   Matrix of open network of struts -helps reinforce bone strength by resisting forces from multiple directions  
🗑
What does spongy bone lack?   Osteons  
🗑
What does trabecular lack?   Capillaries and venules  
🗑
Red bone marrow   -fills spaces between trabecular -consists of lose connective tissue that supports hematopoietic (blood forming cells) -contains blood vessels that supply nutrients to osteocytes  
🗑
Yellow bone marrow   Stores fat (triglycerides)  
🗑
Periosteum   Vascular membrane that covers outside of Bones -outer, fibrous later and inner, cellular layer -rich with blood vessels -fingers are interwoven with tendons and ligaments  
🗑
Perforating fibers   Fingers that become incorporated into bone today  
🗑
Function of periosteum   -isolate Bone -provide a route for blood vessels and nerves -participate in bone growth and repair  
🗑
Endosteum   Incomplete cellular layer that lines medullary cavity -consists of flattened layer of osteogenic cells and osteoblasts "Incomplete layer containing osteoblasts osteogenic cells and osteoclasts"  
🗑
