20
Q

Where bone grows in length…

A

Epiphyseal plate

21
Q

Red marrow is found…

A

In adults - diploë of flat bones and head of the femur and humerus

22
Q

Major cells of the skeleton…

A

Osteogenic cells (mitotic cells in periosteum and endosteum), Osteoblasts (bone-forming cells), Osteocytes (mature bone cells) and Osteoclasts (bone destroying cells)

23
Q

Organic and inorganic composition of skeleton…

A

(O:) Cells and Osteoid (unmineralized bone matrix), (I:) Hydroxyapatites (mineral salts, mainly calcium phosphates)

24
Q

Channels lying at right angles to the central canal, connecting blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to said canal…

A

Volkmann’s canals

25
Q

Lacunae are…

A

Small cavities in bone that contain osteocytes

26
Q

Canaliculi are…

A

Hairlike canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal

27
Q

Ossification is described and classified as…

A

Process of bone tissue formation; Intramembranous ossification and Endochondral ossification

28
Q

Process of bone developing from a fibrous membrane…

A

Intramembranous ossification

29
Q

Process of bone developing by replacement of modeling hyaline cartilage…

A

Endochondral ossification

30
Q

Double-layered protective membrane comprised of a fibrous layer of dense, regular connective tissue and an inner osteogenic layer…

A

Periosteum

31
Q

Delicate membrane covering internal surfaces of bone…

A

Endosteum

32
Q

Osteomalacia

A

Bones inadequately mineralized, caused by insufficient calcium in diet or vitamin D defficiency

33
Q

Rickets

A

Bones of children inadequately mineralized, caused by insufficent calcium in diet or vitamin D defficiency; characterized by deformities of pelvis, skull, rib cage and legs

34
Q

Osteoporosis

A

Bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposit, rendering bones extremely fragile

35
Q

Paget’s Disease

A

Characterized by excessive bone formation and breakdown; eventual waning of osteoclast activity resulting in bone mass deformities localized in spine, pelvis, femur and skull

36
Q

Examples of unmineralized bone matrix (osteiod)…

A

Glycoproteins and proteoglycans

37
Q

Type of hyaline cartilage not covered by perichondrium…

A

Articular cartilage
