cellular component Flashcards
cellular component
once finished growing bone is being turned over and replaced every 7 years continiously.
Osteoblasts
builds ECM-responsible for synthesizing cell responsible for bone growth
Osteocyte
mature bone cell that monitors and maintains the mineralized bone matrix
Osteoclasts
breaks down ECM “bone-resorbing cell”
Compact bone gross level
outer surfaces seem impenetrable.
foramina/holes
Osteon CB
longitudinal unit within comapct bone.
function=maintaining osteocytes by providing nutrients
Lamellae
tubes of ECM with collagen fibers aligned to resist forces “extra bone tissue”.
form a series of cylinders running down shaft=forming osteon
Central canal
contains blood vessel and nerves
lacunae
lakes for osteocytes
canaliculi
channels for osteocytes through ECM
compact bone tissue do what
keep compact bone vital
cancellous bone trabeculae
struts of lamella bone.
marrow fills the cavities.
osteocytes housed in lacuna on surfaces of trabeculae
