Q

metaphysial arteries

A

in diaphysis

17
Q

nutrient artery

A

penetrates toward middle of diaphysis

18
Q

nutrient foramen

A

where vessels can get into spongy bone and supply marrow

19
Q

yellow marrow

A

“inactive”
infiltrated with fat, in medullary cavity

20
Q

red marrow

A

in younger animals, or epiphysis in older animals
very active, produces white and red blood cells

21
Q

organic material of bone

A

33%
Shape of bone, get rid of by burning

22
Q

inorganic material of bone

A

67% of bone
Hard part of bone, get rid of with nitric acid

23
Q

axial skeleton

A

longest line of skeleton

24
Q

appendicular skeleton

A

attachments to skeleton body, thoracic and pelvic limbs

25
Q

heterotropic skeleton

A

mineralized structures found in organs
not attached to skeleton

26
Q

endosteum

A

inside covering medullary cavity and every space of spongy bone
membrane can eat and modify bone

27
Q

periosteum

A

membrane around bone
can eat and modify bone

28
Q

hyaline articular cartilage

A

only in articular surfaces of bone
Prevent friction and gives a smooth surface
becomes fibrous toward periosteum, blends with this and joint capsule
