blood cells

Red bone marrow functions in the formation of

maintaining blood calcium levels

Regulatory functions of the skeletal system include:

osteons

Ring layers of bone are referred to as

trabeculae

Spongy bone is made up of a network of bony rods or plates called

upper and lower limbs, shoulders, and hips

The appendicular skeleton consists of the:

periosteum

The connective tissue covering the outer surface of a bone is the

3, 1, 4, 5, 2

The following are major steps in the process of endochondral ossification: 1. Blood vessels invade the perichondrium 2. Osteoclasts create a marrow cavity 3. Chondrocytes enlarge and calcify 4. Osteoblasts replace calcified cartilage with spongy bone 5. The perichondrium is converted into periosteum, and the inner layer produces bone The correct order for these events is:

endosteum
