What does the following describe: 95%, polypeptide chains, protein substance, extracted as glue) runs the length of the bone, most abundant protein in the body, withstands tension
Collagen
What does the following describe: extracellular mateiral, space filler that inhibits calcification
Ground substance
What does the following describe:
Most abundant mineral in the body
required for vascular contraction and vasodilation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling and hormonal secretion; 99% of the body’s supply in bones and teeth
Calcium
What are the two types of bone tissue?
Compact and spongy/trabecular
Thin tissue that lines the inner surface(medullary cavity) of all bones
Endosteum
Membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones; contain cells that develop into osteoblasts
Periosteum
Connects bone to periosteum; muscle attached to periosteum and tendon
Sharpey’s fibers
Basic fundamental unit of compact bone
Haversian system(osteon)
Resembling the growth rings of a tree these are circular plates of mineralized extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small network of blood vessels and nerves located in the central canal.
Concentric lamellae
