periosteum
covered compact bone on the outside
endosteum
covered spongy bone within
diploë
spongy bone in flat bones(skull)
bone marrow between the
trabeculae
red marrow
cavities of adults
osteogenic
bone stem cells
osteoblasts
bone forming cells. Immature
osteocytes
mature bone cells
osteoclasts
cells that break down bone
Perforating (Volkmann’s) canals
Connects blood vessels and nerves of the periosteum and central canal
Lacunae
small cavities that contain osteocytes
Canaliculi
hair like canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal
Trabeculae
Absorbs shock along lines of stress
no osteons
Osteon
The structural unit of bone
Lamellae (little plate
weight bearing
Central canal
contains blood vessels and nerves
Osteoid
liquid organic bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts
collagen fibers- provide strength and flexibility
Hydroxyapatites
hardness of bone
mainly calcium
Osteogenesis
bone tissue formation
Stages
bone formation
prenatal bone growth
bone remodeling and repair
Intramembranous ossification
bone develops from fibrous membrane
forms flat bones
Endochondral ossification
Requires breakdown of hyaline cartilage prior to ossification
Cartilage (endochondral) bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage
Forms most of the rest of the skeleton
process of endochondral ossification
Interstitial growth
Increase in length of long bones
