Q

What are the types of bone composition?

A

Compact and spongy

17
Q

Give features of the compact bone?

A

External air, arranged in osteons, lamellae found around periphery between osteons, central canals connected to each other by perforating canals

18
Q

What is another name for the spongy bone?

A

Cancellous

19
Q

give features of the cancellous bone

A

no osteons, arranged in trabeculae, major type of tissue in short flat irregular bones, much lighter than the compact bone, supports red bone marrow

20
Q

What is cartilage?

A

Resilient and smooth elastic connective tissue of rubbery consistency

21
Q

What does cartilage do?

A

covers and protects ends of long bones at joints, structural component of other bones like rib cage: intervertebral discs

22
Q

How is cartilage different from bone and muscle?

A

It is not as hard and rigid as bone, much different and less flexible than muscle

23
Q

What is cartilage made out of

A

chondrin

24
Q

What is a term used for bone formation and growth?

A

Ossification

25
Q

What is ossification?

A

The process of laying down newborn material by osteoblasts & are synonymous with tissue formation

26
Q

What are the two types of ossification define them

A

Intramembranous ossification: direct laying down of bone into the primitive connective tissue

Endochondral ossification: involves cartilage as a precursor

27
Q

What is epiphysis?

A

The epiphyseal plate is the cartilage played in the metal faces at each end of a long bone

28
Q

What is the function of epiphysis?

A

new bone growth

Growth plate place long bone grows longer

existing bone and tissue remodel synonymously with the growth
