Shape support, protection, movement, electrolyte balance, blood production and acid base balance are the 7 bone functions

Sesamoid bones are small bones embedded in tendons. The kneecap is an example of one. Which bone shape does it belong to

This type of bone is the carpal bone in the wrist and tarsal bone in the ankle

Part of long bone that allows for attachment of tendons and ligaments. made of porous looking spongy bone

Central shaft-like portion of the long bone that is made up of compact bone

Central hollow portion of long bone

Lines the inside of the medullary cavity

crucial for bone survival this dense fibrous membrane covers the diaphysis. Some fibers weave together with fibers of tendons. tendons attach muscle to bone. ensuring a strong connection between muscle and bone. contains bone forming cells and blood vessels

Help form bone by secreting substances that comprise the bone's matrix

Dissolves unwanted or unhealthy bone

Mature osteoblasts that have become entrapped in the hardened bone matrix.. some dissolve bone as others deposit new bone. assist with regulations of blood levels of calcium and phosphate

Also known as cancellous bone. found in the end of long bones.. always surrounded by compact bone

Lattice work bone that adds strength without adding weight. Filled with Red bone marrow that supplies spongy bone with blood cells

Type of bone consists of an elaborate network of canals and passageways containing nerves and blood vessels.

In compact bone, Layers of matrix are arranged in concentric, onion-like rings around the haversian or osteonic canal. making whats called an osteon

In compact bone, tiny gaps between rings of the lamellae,, contain osteocytes

In compact bone, Microscopic passageways that connect the lamellae to each other

In compact bone transverse passageways that connect haversian canals. transport blood and nutrients from the bones exterior to the osteocytes locked inside

Process of Developing fetus composed of cartilage and fibrous connective tissue.

of fibrous connective tissue that begins when groups of stem cells in the tissue differentiate into osteoblasts. clusters are called centers for ossification

Soft spot of fibrous connective tissue in a newborn's skull

Process that begins in long bones of cartilage turning into bones after 3 months of birth

Site of where bone lengthening occurs: a layer of hyaline cartilage at each end of bone

When bone lengthening stops and the epiphyses have closed. this is the line of spongy bone

inflammation of bone and marrow, usually the result of a bacterial infection.

"porous bones" condition in which bones lose so much mass that they become extremely brittle. even minor stresses can cause a fracture

reshaping or reconstructing part of a bone

Resorption is the destruction of old bone: part of the boned remodeling process
