Bone includes what types of cells? Osteoblasts, Osteoclasts, and Osteocytes
The study of bone Osteology
Help form bone by secreting substances that comprise the bone's matrix Osteoblasts
dissolves unwanted or unhealthy bone Osteoclasts
mature osteoblasts that have become entrapped in the hardened bone matrix osteocytes
the two functions of osteocytes some dissolve bone while others deposit new bone.
Contribute to the maintenance of bone density while also assisting with the regulation of blood levels of calcium and phosphorus osteocytes
Bone is unique from other connective tissue because of its matrix
The matrix of the bone consists of collagen fibers and crystalline salts (primarily calcium and phosphate
The ________ of bone is hard and calcified. matrix
What types of strength does bone have? tensile and compressional
Which strength does bone lack? torsional strength
When collagen fibers in the matrix make bone highly resistant to stretching forces this is callled tensile strength
When calcium salts allow bones to resist strong squeezing forces this is called compressional strength
Whenever bone experiences an increase in load, the osteocytes do what? stimulate the creation of new bone
Osseous tissue that is light and porous spongy (cancellous) bone
type of bone that is found in the ends of the long bones and in the middle of most other bones spongy (cancellous) bone
spongy bone is always surrounded by durable compact bone
bone that consists of latticework spongy
latticework of bone is called trabeculae
trabeculae adds strength without adding ______, weight
The cavities between the trabeculae are filled with red bone marrow
Red marrow supplies spongy bone with _________ and also produces what? blood and produces blood cells
If the stress a bone is exposed to changes, the ___________ will realign themselves to compensate. trabeculae
Lamellae is found in what type of bone? compact
In compact bone, layers of matrix are arranged in concentric, onion-like rings called lamellae
Haversion canal goes which direction? up and down
Basic structural unit of compact bone osteon
transverse passageways that connect the haversion canals volkmann's canals
transport blood and nurtrients from the bone's exterior to the osteocytes locked inside volkmann's canals
canals are part of the ______. Osteon
consists of an elaborate network of canals and passageways containing nerves and blood vessels compact bone
bone marrow is a type of _____ tissue soft
nearly all of a child's bone contains red marrow
produces red blood cells red marrow
type of soft tissue that fills the medullary cavity of long bones bone marrow
fills the spaces of spongy bone bone marrow
What are the two types of marrow? red and yellow
What type of marrow no longer produces blood cells? yellow
When would yellow marrow change back into red marrow? severe, chronic blood loss or anemia
In an adult, red bone marrow can be found only in the ribs, sternum, vertebrae, skull, pelvis, and upper parts of both the humerus and femur.
The first skeleton in a developing fetus is composed of cartilage and fibrous connective tissue
Early skeleton evolves into bone through which process ossification
Name the two types of ossification processes One for the fibrous connective tissue and one for cartilage
When groups of stem cells in the tissue differentiate into osteoblasts it is called intramembranous ossification
By what age is the skull completely ossified? age 2
Part of the newborns skull that consists of fibrous connective tissue fontanels
Most bones evolve from cartilage
At 3 months gestation the fetus has a skeleton composed mostly of cartilage
Process of turning cartilage into bone endochondral ossification
endochondral ossification begins in the ______ bones long
Bones grow in length or elongate for how long? a fixed period
Bones widen and thicken for how long? throughout the lifespan

uncomplicated fractures heal in 8 to 12 weeks
Steps of fracture repair 1. Initial hematoma transforms into granulation tissue 2.Granulation tissue transforms into a soft callus 3. A hard callus forms around the fracture 4. Remodeling replaces the callus tissue with bone
