Two Types of Bone Are?  

Located where in the Bone

Definition
Compact and Spongy. Compact is found in the diaphysis. Spungy is found in the epiphysis.
Term
Bones Calcified matrix is known as? 
Definition
Lamellae
Term
Osteocytes are found where in the bone? 
Definition
Small Pockets called lacunare pg137
Term

Three types of bone cells 

 

Definition
Osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts.
Term
ossification
Definition
Cartilage and other connective tissue turn into bone.
Term
two major forms of ossification
Definition
Intramembranous (babies) and endochondral (cartilage to bone)
Term
Five Steps of Endochondral Ossification
Definition
1. Chondrocyes at the center of the growing cartilage model enlarge and thend die as the matrix calcifies. 2. Newly derived osteoblasts cover the shaft of the cartilage in a thin layer of bone. 3. blood vessels penetrate the carilage. New osteoblasts form a primary ossification center. 4. The bone of the shaft thinkens, and the cartilage near each epiphysis is replaced by shafts of bone. 5. Blood vessels invade the epphyses and osteoblasts form secondary centers of ossification.
Term
appositional growth
Definition
it gets longer and wider. periosteom to osteoblasts to a new bony matrix
Term
epiphyseal line
Definition
where the cartilage used to be between the Epiphysis and diaphysis
Term

Term
4 Steps of Fracture Repair.
Definition
1. Facture Hematoma 2. Internal callus forms, spongy bone unites inner deges, externall callus of cartilage and bone stabilizes the outer edges. 3. Cartilae of the external callus has been replaced by bone, and struts of spongy bone now unite the broken ends. Fragments of dead bone and the areas of bone closest to the break have been removed and replace. 4. Done, some swelling, will go away
Term

Definition
degeneration of bone as you get old.
