Ch 4.1 - Bone as living tissue

dense, white, connective tissue that covers the articulating surfaces of bones at joints

• articular cartilage
• bone marrow
• lacunae
• endosteum

material with a rich blood supply found within the marrow cavity of long bones yellow marrow stores fat, and red marrow is active in producing blood cells

• osteoblast
• bone marrow
• hematopoiesis
• osteon

dense, solid bone that covers the outer surface of all bones and is the main form of bone tissue in the long bones

• trabecular bone
• medullary cavity
• cortical bone
• haversian canals

 the shaft of a long bone

• endosteum
• epiphyseal plate
• epiphysis
• diaphysis

membrane lining the medullary cavity

• endosteum
• diaphysis
• osteoclasts
• trabecular bone

plate growth plate near the ends of long bones where osteoblast activity increases bone length

• diaphysis
• epiphyseal plate
• epiphysis
• trabecular bone

the bulbous end of a long bone

• diaphysis
• medullary cavity
• epiphysis
• articular cartilage

major passageways running in the direction of the length of long bones, providing paths for blood vessels

• lacunae
• remodeling
• hematopoiesis
• Haversian canals

a single Haversian canal along with its multiple canaliculi, which branch out to join with lacunae, forming a comprehensive transportation matrix for supply of nutrients and removal of waste products

• haversian system
• lacunae
• osteoblast
• diaphysis
