Name the structural unit of the cancellous bone.

ends of bone in central space; more loosely organized form of osseous tissue; always enclosed by compact bone

What is the function of the osteocyte?

mature bone cell; contirbute to homeostasis of bone density and blood concentration; regulate bone remodeling - adjustments in bone shape and density that adapt to stress (maintenance "site")

osteogenic cells; osteoblasts; osteocytes; osteoclasts

What is intramembranous ossification?

appositional growth (diameter and thickness) performed by osteoblasts

What is the function of the osteoblast?

bone-forming cells; cuboidal or angular and form single layer; synthesize soft organic matter of bone matrix

List 2 types of bone tissue.

Compact and spongy (cancellous)

Give 3 anatomical characteristics of the osteoclast.

3-4 nuclei; ruffled border; formed by fusion of several stem cells (wear ruffles to class)

What is bone deposition?

a crystallization process in which calcium phosphate, and other ions are taken from the blood plasma and deposited in bone tissue

List the types of bones (according to their shape) present in the human body.

flat bones, long bones, short bones, irregular bones

What is ossification?

formation of bone

List the 2 types of human ossification.

intramembranous and endochondral

What is periosteum?

sheath that covers bones; comprised of collagen and bone-forming cells; connects muscle to bone

Name the structural unit of compact bone

shell of outer dense white osseous tissue (encloses bone marrow) skeleton is 3/4 compact bone

What is endosteum?

thin layer of reticular connective tissue that lines the internal marrow cavity, covers all honeycombed surfaces of spongy bone and lines the canal system in compact bone
