🗑
perforating canals   run perpendicular to bone surface, supply deeper bone tissue and medullary cavity  
🗑
which type of bone has a structure arranged in osteons?   compact bone  
🗑
spongy bone structure   matrix is an open network of fibers called trabeculae. spongy bone is located where bones are not heavily stressed or where stress is applied from many directions  
🗑
trabeculae   fibers that form the interwoven network of spongy bone  
🗑
network of trabeculae in spongy bone supports and protects ___ ___   bone marrow  
🗑
two types of bone marrow   1. red bone marrow- produces blood cells 2. yellow bone marrow- adipose tissue  
🗑
red bone marrow   located in the epiphysis (head) of long bones and in large bones like sternum, ilium, etc. Surrounded by spongy bone. produces blood cells.  
🗑
yellow bone marrow   adipose tissue that serves as an energy reserve.  
🗑
body weight compresses the ___ side of femur while the ___ portion resists stretching under tension   medial portion is compressed. Lateral portion resists stretching  
🗑
periosteum   the two layer fibrous membrane that wraps the outside of bone  
🗑
two layers of periosteum   1. fibrous outer layer 2. cellular inner layer  
🗑

🗑
as muscle strength increases bumps and ridges where muscles attach...   increase in size

🗑
calcitrol   hormone required for calcium absorption in GI tract. synthesized in kidneys from cholecalciferol (vit D3)  
🗑
cholecalciferol   vitamin D3- used by the kidneys to synthesize calcitrol which is required for absorption of calcium in GI tract  
🗑

🗑
growth hormone   produced by pituitary gland, stimulates bone growth  
🗑
thyroxine   produced by thyroid gland, stimulates bone growth  
🗑
sex hormones (androgen and estrogen)   both stimulate bone growth ultimately causing the closure of the epiphyseal cartilage. estrogen causes faster growth causing the cartilage to close in women before androgen does in men. thus, women usually shorter than men.  
🗑
calcitonin   decreases calcium content in body fluids. produced by the thyroid gland, inhibits osteoclast activity, promotes calcium loss by kidneys.  
🗑
parathyroid hormone (PTH)   increases calcium concentration in body fluids by stimulating osteoclast activity, increases Ca++ absorption in GI tract, decreases Ca++ excretion in kidneys  
🗑
calcitonin effect on calcium concentration in plasma   decreases calcium levels in plasma. promotes bone growth.  
🗑
parathyroid hormone effect on calcium levels in plasma   increases calcium levels in plasma. promotes bone breakdown.

🗑
if calcium level in body fluids gets too high   neurons and muscle cells become unresponsive

🗑
