Microanatomy and Physiology of Bone Flashcards
1
Q
- Also known as Bone Cells
- Surrounded by intercellular matrix
- Located in small cavities in the bone
A
Osteocytes
2
Q
- Also called the Bone forming Cells
- Responsible for the formation of osteiod tissue
- Secrete the enzyme phosphatase necessary for deposition of calcium salt forming true bone
A
Osteoblast
3
Q
- also called bone-destroying cells
- bone tissue is responsible to environmental changes
A
Osteoclast
4
Q
decrease in size
A
Atrophy
5
Q
increase in size
A
Hypertrophy
6
Q
a localized area of bone formation
A
Center of ossification
7
Q
bone formed in the tissue other than the skeleton
A
Heteroplastic ossification
8
Q
2 Types of Bone Ossification:
A
- Endochondral ossification
- Intramembranous ossification
9
Q
also called intracartilaginous ossification
A
Endochondral Ossification
10
Q
junction between epiphysis and diaphysis
A
Metaphysis
11
Q
common in flat bones. additional bone is formed by the layers of periosteum on either side of the bone
A
Intramembranous Ossification
12
Q
is the formation of true bone by the deposition of calcium salts in a matrix of osteoid tissue
A
Ossification
13
Q
deposition of calcium salts in any tissue
A
Calcification
14
Q
a process by which the bone tissues form and replace other tissues such as cartilage
A
Ossification
