Question
Answer
show support, protection, assistance in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, triglyceride storage  
🗑
hemopoiesis   show
🗑
show C/mostly adipocytes | F/storage of triglycerides  
🗑
show long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid  
🗑
long bones   show
🗑
show A/cube-shaped | EX/most carpals, tarsals  
🗑
show SF/provide extensive surfaces for muscle attachment | SA/generally thin | EX/cranial bones, sternum, ribs, scapulae  
🗑
irregular bones   show
🗑
sesamoid bones   show
🗑
show the shaft of a long bone  
🗑
show the proximal and distal ends of a long bone  
🗑
show in long bones, the regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses; these are the regions where bone growth (in length) takes place  
🗑
show thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation with another bone | F/reduces friction and absorbs shock  
🗑
periosteum   show
🗑
show in long bones, the hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow in adults  
🗑
endosteum   show
🗑
show C/25% water, 25% collagen [providing flexibility and tensile strength], 50% crystallized mineral salts [providing hardness]  
🗑
osteogenic cells   show
🗑
osteoblasts   show
🗑
show the most numerous cells in osseous tissue | F/maintain the daily metabolism of osseous tissue, exchanging nutrients and wastes with the blood  
🗑
osteoclasts   show
🗑
two major types of osseous tissue   show
🗑
Volkmann's canals   show
🗑
haversian canals   show
🗑
concentric lamellae   show
🗑
lacunae   show
🗑
show aka haversian system | in compact bone tissue, a repeating structural unit consisting of one central canal and its concentrically arranged lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes, and canaliculi | AL/osteons are aligned in the same direction along lines of stress  
🗑
canaliculi   show
🗑
show is not softer than compact bone tissue; called "spongy" only because of its appearance | does not contain osteons  
🗑
trabeculae   show
🗑
nutrient foramen   show
🗑
the two major types of bone formation   show
🗑
intramembranous ossification   show
🗑
show most bones form this way | steps: dev. of the cartilage model, growth of the cartilage model, dev. of the primary ossification center, dev. of the medullary cavity, dev. of the secondary oss. centers, formation of articular cartilage + epiphyseal plate  
🗑
epiphyseal plate   show
🗑
show zone of resting cartilage [nearest epiphysis], zone of proliferating cartilage [here, chondrocytes are formed to replace those at the diaphyseal end], zone of hypertrophic cartilage, zone of calcified cartilage  
🗑
show in long bones of adults, a bony structure at the former site of epiphyseal plates (those plates close around age 18 in women, 21 in men)  
🗑
show osteoblasts in the inner layer of the periosteum secrete new ECM, creating new lamellae  
🗑
factors affecting bone growth   show
🗑
hormones involved in bone growth   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
