26
Q

Which structure is the highlighted image pointing to?

A

Osteons

27
Q

What structures are the red and yellow highlighted regions?

A

Yellow: osteocyte
Red: canaliculi

28
Q

What is the structure the orange region is pointing to?

A

Concentric lamellae

29
Q

What are the lattice like networks of spongy bone called? What feels these spaces?

A
  1. Trabeculae
  2. Bone marrow
30
Q

In spongy bone, do the lamellae surround a central canal?

A

No, there is no central canal in spongy bone. There are osteocytes between the lamellae.

Stimulate growth plate

33
Q

Hormones regulate growth and development. What is the function of the thyroid hormone?

A

Metabolic rate of bone cells

34
Q

Hormones regulate growth and development. What is the function of the estrogen and testosterone hormones?

A

Puberty, accelerates bone growth

35
Q

Hormones regulate growth and development. What is the function of the glucocorticoids hormone?

A

High amounts increase bone loss

36
Q

Hormones regulate growth and development. What is the function of the serotonin hormone?

A

Too high may affect osteoblast formation
