|
|
Term
|
Definition
| turn into osteocytes as their surrounding matrix traps them |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| do not undergo cell division |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| large cell composed of many wbc's that release enzymes and acids to break down bone matrix |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| responsible for reabsorption, which is part of bone growth, maintenance and repair |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| makes up 80% of the skeleton; external layer of bones and most of the diaphysis in long bones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| units of compact bone tissue; AKA haversion systems |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| where blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves penetrate compact bone from periosteum; AKA volkmann's |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| run longitudinally through the bone; AKA haversion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| rings of calcified matrix around canals |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| spaces between lamellae that contain osteocytes; AKA little lakes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| branch out in all directions from lacunae; filled with extracellular fluid; provide many routes for oxygen, nutrients and waste outfloe; AKA little canals |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| makes up 20% of the skeleton;does not contain osteons; present in most short flat and irregular bones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| forms most of epiphysis of long bones; contain trabeculae |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| latticework of bone that makes up spongy bone; spaces between are filled with red bone marrow |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process where old bone is continually being replaced with new bone tissue |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| AKA Wolff's Law- bone remodels to stress |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| bone stores 99% of body's calcium and is released during remodeling; calcium levels can be dangerous if too high or low |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the loss of bone minerals through the absence of mechanical stress on the bone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
