Smooth muscle

-Digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts, hair follicles, blood vessels -Capable of cell reproduction -Tapered ends, non striated -Involuntary contraction

bone remodeling

-Increased muscular development; bone changes cause stress -Stressed bones become thicker/stronger -Inactivity causes degeneration

Cardiac muscle

-One nucleus -Cells connected by intercalated discs -Pulsating contractions -Striated involuntary muscle

Osteoprogenitor cells

-bone stem cells -Found on innermost layer of periosteum and inner lining of endosteum -Differentiate to form new osteoblasts -Heavily involved in repair of bones after injury

Endochondral ossification

-from cartilage, forms round (long) bones -Chondrocytes near center of diaphysis begin to increase in size -Blood vessels form around cartilage -Perichondrial to periosteum; thin layer of compact bone -Cartilage cells die, replaced by osteoblasts -Osteoblasts begin to form spongy bone in primary ossification center -Cartilage in metaphysis invaded by osteoblasts -Increase in bone length and diameter -Osteoblasts migrate to epiphysis; secondary ossification center -Osteoblasts begin to replace cartilage with bone -Pushes epiphysis away from diaphysis

Intramembranous ossification

-from membrane, forms flat (skull, clavicle, mandible) bones -Mesenchymal cells differentiate to become osteoblasts -Osteoblasts begin secreting matrix, become trapped -Osteoblasts differentiate to form osteocytes; osteoblasts produced, move outward -Blood vessels trapped by formation of spicules -Spongy bone formed

Osteoblasts

-immature bone cells -Produce osteoid, involved in making matrix -Make new bone through osteogenesis

Skeletal muscle

-made up of skeletal muscle fibers -Multinucleated -Incapable of reproduction -Striped/striated -voluntary

Osteocytes

-mature bone cells -Maintain protein and mineral content of matrix -Cause release of calcium ions into blood

Osteoclasts

-multinucleated cells -Secrete acids, dissolve bones, release stored ions (amino acids and stored calcium and phosphate) into bloodstream

Spongy bone

-open network of branching plates called trabeculae -arranged in parallel struts -creates lightweight nature of the bone

Central/Haversion canal

-parallel to surface of bone -contains the blood vessels that supply the osteon

Perforating/Volkmann's canal

-perpendicular to surface of bone, connect central canals -blood vessels deliver blood to osteons deeper in the bone and service the medullary cavity
