The bone is a organ, because it contains __ or more tissues.
Two
The bone has 5 tissues, they are..
Vascular, nervous, connective, muscular, cartilage, and osseous
What are the functions of the bone?
Scaffolding, Support and Protect: CNS, Heart, Lungs, and Urinary digestive systems.
The Cranial protects the:_______, the Rib Cage protects the _______, and the Pelvic protects the________.
Brian and Spinal Cord, Heart and Lung, Urinary and Digestive organs
The matrix of bone connective tissue is sturdy and rigid due to the deposition of minerals in the matrix, a process called?
Calcification
How the bones allow movement?
By acting like levers
What occurs within the active (red) marrow of bones?
Hematopoiesis (the process of cell formation)
What carries out the process of Hematopoiesis?
Stem cells in red bone marrow (located in spongy bone of the most dense bones of our body)
True of False:
Stem cells from Hematopoiesis carry all of the different types of blood cells.
True
Where is red marrow found in children?
Spongy bone of most of the bones of the body.
Where is red marrow found in Adults?
Its not,
In adults much of the red marrow becomes inactive and turns into fatty tissue appropriately called “yellow bone marrow”
What is Hematopoiesis ?
The process of cell formation
In adults, where does Hematopoiesis occur?
In the Red marrow of the
Flat bone of the Skull, Sternum, Vertebrae, Pelvis (ossa coxae), and proximal epiphyses of the thigh and upper arm bones
True or False:
The hematopoiesis does not need stimulation to activate?
False
This hormone activates Hematopoiesis, and where does it originate from?
Erythropoietin, and Kidneys (sensitive to low oxygen levels)
