| What is the Haversian Canal |
|
Definition
| Various canals in compact bone through which blood vessels, nerve fibers, and lymphatics pass |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| nondividing bone cells that are located within their own lacunae (small cavities in the bone). Derived from osteoblasts and represent the final stage of maturation of the bone cell lineage. Smaller and less active than osteoblasts. Most have a minimal amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum, an abundance of heterocromatin and a relatively small Golgi apparatus. The narrow, cytoplasmic processes remain attached to each other and to osteoblasts through canaliculi (small channels in the bone). Nutrients from blood vessels outside the bone matrix diffuse both through the canaliculi surrounding the cell processes and through the cells themselves via gap junctions. These gap junctions also allow intercellular communication to occur. Since the effective diffusion distance is limited, it cannot survive more than 0.2 mm away from a blood vessel. This limitation defines the size of spongy bone and the basic structural unit of compact bone, the Haversian system |

Term
| What is Hyaline Cartilage? |
|
Definition

Parts of the embryo's skeleton begin as hyaline cartilage, bone gradually replaced. Important in the developement & growth of most bones. |
