2nd 20 Flashcards
3 types of cells in bone
osteoblasts, osteocytes, and
osteoclasts.
These are found in lacunae of the bone.
Osteocytes
are active in breaking down bone for bone remodeling, and they provide access to calcium stored in tissues.
Osteoclasts
These are active in making bone for growth and remodeling.
Osteoblasts
Bone can be divided into two types:
compact and spongy.
This is found in the shaft (or diaphysis) of a long bone and the surface of the flat bones,
Compact Bone (organized into subunits called osteons,)
This is found in the end (or epiphysis)
of a long bone.
Spongy bone(is made of tiny plates called trabeculae; these plates serve as struts to give the spongy bone strength.)
is made up of cells called adipocytes that collect and store fat in the form of triglycerides, for energy metabolism.
Adipose tissue or fat tissue (additionally serve as insulation to help maintain body temperatures, allowing animals to be endothermic,)
Blank is considered a connective tissue because it has a Blank
Blood
Matrix
The living cell types are red blood cells
(RBC), also called BLANK, and white blood cells (WBC), also
called BLANK. The fluid portion of whole blood, its matrix, is
commonly called BLANk
erythrocytes,
leukocytes
Plasma
The cell found in greatest abundance in blood is the BLANK
erythrocyte or rbc (is 4.7 to 5.5 million cells per microliter.)
This function primarily in the immune response to foreign antigens or material. Different types of BLANK make antibodies tailored to the foreign antigens and control the production of those antibodies.
Lymphocytes
are phagocytic cells and they participate in one of the early lines of
defense against microbial invaders, aiding in the removal of bacteria that has entered
the body.
Neutrophils
Another leukocyte that is found in the peripheral blood is the BLANK. BLANK give rise to phagocytic macrophages that clean up dead and damaged cells in the body, whether they are foreign or from the host animal.
Monocytes
Two additional leukocytes in the blood are blank and blank—both help to facilitate the inflammatory response.
eosinophils and basophils
