diaphysis (structure)
Definition
*center shaft
Term
medullary cavity (structure)
Definition
filled with yellow marrow (adipose)
Term

Definition
*on each end on epiphysis
Term
endosteum (structure)
Definition
thin membrane which lines medullary cavity
Term
periosteum (structure)
Definition
tough outer membrane
Term
compact bone (structure)
Definition
very little air space
Term
spongy bone (structure)
Definition
*sometimes lined with red bone marrow
*each end of long bone (epiphyseal)
Term
Bone Cells (3)
Definition
*osteoblast *osteocytes *osteoclast
Term
osteoblast (definition)
Definition
bone producing cells
Term
osteocytes (definition)
Definition
*mature bone cells *an osteoblast no longer producing bone.
Term
osteoclast (definition)
Definition
*bone dissolving cells *bone resorption=dissolving bone
Term
Chemical composition of Bone
Definition
*organic component (20%)
*inorganic component (80%) makes bone hard
Term
(chemical) organic component is made of
Definition
collagen (20%)
Term
(chemical) inorganic component is made of
Definition
hydroxyapatite-complex misture of calcium and phosphate
*(80%) *makes bone hard
*CA++ & PO4
Term
Bone Development (embryonic) ossification
Definition
*intramembranous ossification (dvlpmnt)
*endochondral ossification
Term
intramembranous ossification (development)
Definition
*cranial bones *clavical
**bone develops from a DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSU
Term
endochondral ossification (development)
Definition
*majority of bones
**bone develops from HYALIN CARTILAGE
Term
Mechanisms of bone growth
*long bone growth (2) types
Definition
I. Length growth
II. Width growth
Term
Mechanisms of bone growth
*describe long bone growth type I length
Definition
I. Length growth-epiphyseal plate (hyalin cartilage) important for growth pg 204 txt
Term
Mechanisms of bone growth
*describe long bone growth type II width
Definition
II. Width growth (diameter)-as osteoclasts (dissolve) happen, osteoblasts form (produce)
Term
ossification (def)
Definition
development
Term
osteoporosis
Definition
weakening of bone
