Compact

19
Q

What is a osteon?

A

a microscopic, repeating structural unit

20

What is an osteocytes?

A

mature bone cells, arranged in concentric rings around a central canal

21
Q

What is a lacuna?

A

a tiny cavity in the hardened matrix

22
Q

The _________ of the matrix comes from mineral salts, primarily calcium and phosphorus

A

hardness

23
Q

The hardness of the matrix comes from mineral salts, primarily _______ and _________

A

calcium

phosphorus

24
Q

The _________ comes from strands of the strong, elastic protein collagen that are woven throughout the matrix

A

resilience

25
Q

The resilience comes from strands of the strong, elastic protein _________ that are woven throughout the matrix

26
Q

During human embryonic development most of the skeleton is first formed of _________

A

cartilage

27
Q

The steps of this process, in which human skeleton system develops from cartilage:

1)
2) osteoblasts form a collar of bone around the shaft of the model
3) the shaft of the cartilage model begins to hollow out, and spongy bone fills the space. Blood vessels continue to penetrate the area, and the region of bone formation expands
4) secondary centers of bone formation develop in the ends of the bone
5) cartilage remains only on the surfaces that rub against other bones and in the cartilage growth plates

A

1) a cartilaginous model of the future bone forms
