What is cortical bone arranged in units of?
Osteons aka haversian systems
Osteonic consist of ______ layers of bone arranged around a central ___________ ___________
concentric, haversian canal
What does the haversian canal contain?
Blood vessels and nerves
What are interspersed between the concentric layers of bone in the osteons?
Osteocytes
What connect the haversian system together?
Volkmann’s Canals
Channels that run perpendicular to the haversian canals allowing blood vessels to travel from the outside of the bone to the center
Volkmann’s Canals
Cancellous bone consists of interconnected bands of tissue called ______
Trabeculae

Bone building cells
Osteoblasts
Bone removing cells
Osteoclasts
Cells that reside in cavities within bone and reach through to network with other cells of the same type
Osteocytes
These cells within the bone transfer nutrients and wastes and send signals based on stress and strain
Osteocytes
Develop from osteoblasts that get trapped in mineralized bone
Osteocytes
Line the outer surface of bone
Bone lining cells
These cells direct mineral update and release in bone
Bone lining cells
Send signals to initiate bone removal and formation
Bone lining cells
What mineral is deposited into collagen during bone growth?
Hydroxyapatite
A soft tissue that contains stem cells
