A

Dense irregular CT

22
Q

What is endosteum?

A

Layer of cells covering all internal surfaces of bone.

23

28
Q

Location of osteoprogenitor cells?

A

Periosteum and endosteum

29
Q

Function of osteoblasts?

A

Synthesize and secrete osteoid

35
Q

Effect of decreased protein on bones?

A

Causes brittle bones

A

Central canal

40
Q

What are concentric lamellae?

A

Rings of matrix surrounding the central canal

41
Q

What are external circumferential lamellae?

A

Rings of matrix that run immediately internal to bone periosteum

42
Q

What are internal circumferential lamellae?

A

Run internal to the endosteum

Q

What are interstitial lamellae?

A

Rings of matrix between osteons

44
