functions of skeletal system
protect internal organs, stores and releases fat, produces RBC/s, stores and releases minerals, facilitates movement, supports the body
what type of bone is the femur
long bone
spongy bone is composed of
WBC’s, RBC’s, and stem cells
what is the outer coat of bone
periosteum
space in the middle of the bone, RBC production, store and release fat
medullary cavity
Red marrow (RBC’s) is more present in ..
growing bones; infant to 10 year olds
Yellow marrow (adipocytes) is more present in..
puberty to adulthood
what is the central canal
the space in the middle of an osteon
true or false; spongy bone is in the medullary cavity
true
true or false; compact bone surrounds spongy bone
true
functional unit of compact bone, circular and give strength as they go down through the bone, calcified
osteon
space that osteocytes sit in
lacunae
connections branching out from lacunae
canaliculi
mature bone cell; arise from osteoblasts
osteocyte
differentiate into osteocytes when they become completely encircled by the matrix, “build” bone
osteoblast
“chew” on bone, degrade matrix, secretes enzymes which remodel ECM, releases calcium when the body needs it; breakdown matrix
osteoclast
stem cell that can differentiate into all cell types
osteogenic precursor
area in spongy bone that makes space for red marrow to produce RBC’s
trabeculae
what is the mineral component of bone that is inorganic and gets built
hyroxyapatite
the __ matrix of bones is made by cells
organic
epiphyseal plate eventually becomes the __ __
epipheseal line
bone widening
appositional
bone lengthening; mostly starts with cartilage that is constantly replaced with osteoblasts
interstitial
long part of the bone
diaphysis
