17
Q

periosteum

A

dense irregular CT covering of a long bone

18
Q

function of periosteum

A

rich blood supply
point of attachment for ligaments and bones

19
Q

osteogenic cell

A

stem cell that becomes specialized to form bone

20
Q

medullary cavity

yellow marrow found here

21
Q

histology of bone tissue

A

study of bone tissues

22
Q

matrix

A

25% collagen
25% water
50% minerals

23
Q

collagen

A

provides tensile strength

24
Q

where are ostoegenic cells located

A

periosteum and endosteum

25
osteoblasts
bone building cells immature bone cell
26
what is the function of osteoblasts
secrete collagen initiate ossification by depositing calcium in the collagen
27
osteocytes
mature bone cells
28
what is the function of osteocytes
maintains bone in their area
29
osteoclast
bone destroying cell
30
what is the function of an osteoclast
breaks down collagen to release calcium in the blood stream by releasing enzymes breaks down bone so new bone can be built
