FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the epiphyseal plate and its significance in bone growth?
Back
The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is a layer of cartilage located at the ends of long bones. It is where new bone growth occurs, allowing the bone to lengthen during development.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is trabecular (spongy) bone and where is it found?
Back
Trabecular bone, also known as spongy bone, is a type of bone tissue that has a porous, lattice-like structure. It is found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of other bones, providing structural support and flexibility.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define diaphysis in the context of bone structure.
Back
The diaphysis is the shaft or central part of a long bone. It is primarily composed of compact bone and provides strength and support to the bone.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are canaliculi and their function in bone tissue?
Back
Canaliculi are small channels or ducts in bone tissue that connect lacunae (small cavities containing osteocytes). They allow for the exchange of nutrients and waste between osteocytes and the blood supply.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are central (Haversian) canals and their role in bone structure?
Back
Central (Haversian) canals are the central channels in compact bone that contain blood vessels and nerves. They are part of the Haversian system, which provides nutrients and removes waste from bone cells.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Explain the role of osteocytes in bone physiology.
Back
Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue. They are embedded in the bone matrix and play a crucial role in regulating bone remodeling and mineral homeostasis.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between compact bone and spongy bone?
Back
Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and support. Spongy bone is lighter, less dense, and contains trabecular structures, providing flexibility and housing bone marrow.
