Question
Answer
Describe epiphyses   Expanded ends of the bones that form joints with adjacent bones  
🗑
Describe articular cartilage   Made of hyaline cartilage that covers the epiphyses  
🗑
Describe diaphysis   The shaft of the bone  
🗑
Describe periosteum   A tough layer of vascular dense connective tissue that covers the bone  
🗑
Describe medullary cavity   A hollow cavity lined with endosteum membrane, and is filled with yellow marrow and is located in the diqphysis bone shaft  
🗑
What is the difference between spongy bone and compact bone   Spongy bone is the inner part of the bone structure and is not as strong due to its holey structure that allows the bone to be more light weight. Compact bone is the outer part of the bone structure and is solid, making it stronger  
🗑
In the microscopic structure of the bone, what does the central canal of the osteons contain   Blood vessels and nerves  
🗑
What is intramembranous bone, what bones does it form   Intramembranous bone is formed sheet-like layers of connective tissue. This bone forms spongy bone  
🗑
What is ossification   Formation of bone  
🗑
Describe the epiphyseal plate   Is a band of hyaline cartilage that forms between the two ossification centers  
🗑
Explain the factors of bone growth and repair   Vitamin D, growth hormones, sex hormones, and physical exercise  
🗑
Differentiate between red and yellow marrow   Red marrow is where blood cells develop (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets), yellow marrow is where fat is stored  
🗑
What are the functions of the bone   To support, protect, and shape the different parts of the body  
🗑
What is the function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts   Osteoblasts resort and osteoclasts deposit bone throughout life, this process is known as bone remodeling  
🗑
What happens in the bone when blood calcium is low   Osteoblasts break down bone to release calcium  
🗑
What happens in the bone when blood calcium is high   Osteoblasts form bone tissue and store calcium  
🗑
Osteoblasts form spongy bone in the diaphysis   Step 1 how the endochondral bone grows and develops  
🗑
Osteoblasts lay down compact bone around the primary ossification center   Step 2 how the endochondral bone grows and develops  
🗑
Second ossification centers appear in the epiphysis   Step 3 how the endochondral bone grows and develops  
🗑
The epiphyseal plate forms between the two ossification centers   Step 4 how the endochondral bone grows and develops  
🗑
The medullary cavity forms in the diaphysis, and the osteoclasts erode the inside of the bone   Step 5 how the endochondral bone grows and develops  
🗑
