30
Q

______ is a form of bone cancer.

A

Osteosarcoma

31
Q

“growth from within” The chondrocytes within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix

A

Interstitial growth

32
Q

Some bones, called ____, develop from a mesenchymal membrane through a process called _____.

A

membrane bones, intramembranous ossification

33
Q

This type of cartilage resists strong compression and tension between hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue

Fibrocartilage

34
Q

The internal spongy bone is called _____.

A

diploe

35
Q

“Growth from the outside” cartilage forming cells (chondroblasts) in the surrounding perichondrium produce the new cartilage tissue by actively secreting matrix

A

Appositional growth

36
Q

These cells are responsible for the resorption of bone are the fourth type of cell found within bone tissue. They break down bone by secreting hydrochloric acid, which disovles the mineral component of the matrix, and lysosomal enaymes, which digest the organic components
