- Secondary ossification • Migration of capillaries and osteoblasts into epiphyses centers • Varies from: bone to bone, individual to individual
What happens during phase 4?
- Shaft filled with spongy bone - Osteoclasts create medullary cavity - Cartilage of metaphysis invaded by osteoblasts: production of bone columns - Further growth: increase in length, increased diameter

What is the compact bone consisted of?
Osteons
What happens when the calcium is too low in the blood?
Parathyroid gland releases PTH Stimulates calcium release from bones (resorption) Stimulates calcium uptake in the kidneys Increases calcium uptake in the intestines Blood calcium level rises
The outside lining of bone that helps it attach to fascia and circulatory components is the
Periosteum
What is the correct order of events for bone remodeling?
Resting > Resorption > Reversal > Matrix deposition > Mineralization
What is the function of an osteoblast?
Secrete osteoid and build bone
What is the structure of the bone?
Supporting connective tissue Specialized cells
What happens when calcium is too high in the blood?

a long, deep sulcus
what is a turbercle?
a small, rounded projection
What is the fascia?

When does the secondary ossification center develop?
after birth
What is osteogenesis?
bone formation
What is solid matrix?
calcium salts around calcium fibers that are hard
What is another name for spongy bone?
cancellous or trabecular bone

cortical bone
What is calcification?
deposition of calcium salts

Where is hyaline cartilage found?
ends of bones, nose or ears
In an adult, the epiphysis is separated from the diaphysis by the:
epiphyseal line
Where is the secondary bone centers located?
epiphysis
When does endochondral ossification begin and end?
fetal stage until about age 20
What is a sesamoid bone? Give an example
found in joints Patella
What is an osteoblast?
immature bone cell
How is spongy bone arranged?
in parallel struts, trabeculae, thats what makes the bones lightweight
What is intramembranous ossification? What is it derived from?
involved in the development of clavicle, mandible, skull and face mesenchyme during embryonic periodxf
Where is cartilage found?
joints rib cage ear nose throat
What is a long bone? Give examples
