The hyoid bone belongs to the

How does the central canal differ from a lacuna in terms of size, location, and the material found in each respective space?

Central canal houses blood vessels and nerves and lacuna are around the central canal and bone cells (osteocytes)

Epiphyses

In terms of shape, what are the bones of the cranium?

The inorganic portion of bone tissue is made of what complex mineral salt?

Long

Synthetic bone material known as hydroxyapatite is often molded into the shape of bone. This procedure is done to replace bone that been disease, damaged, or surgically removed. Cells in the body remodel the synthetic material and produce new bone. What bone cells do you predict will be involved in this remodeling, and what roles do these cells have?

Osteoblasts originate from stem cells and produce new bone then become osteocytes. Osteocytes sense stress being placed on the bone and add more material as needed. Osteoclasts are involved in bone reabsorption.

A modular unit of bone that is formed from a central canal surrounded by osteocytes and lamella with interconnecting canaliculi

Short

In the disease osteoporosis, there is significant loss of spongy bone. Explain how the loss of this specific bone material can weaken a bone.

Describe the nature of decalcified bone. What was removed in the process of decalcification, and what impact did this have on the bone structure?

The bone salts have been removed and the remaining bone has been sliced, mounted, and stained
