18
Q

An incomplete layer of cells that covers all internal surfaces of the bone within the medullary cavity

A

Endosteum

19
Q

In a flat bone of the skull, the spongy bone is called ?

A

Diploe

20
Q

Bone is highly vascularized ? True or false

A

True

21
Q

Hole in the bone

A

Nutrient foramen

22
Q

Primary component of bone is

A

Bone connective tissue

23
Q

Stem cells are derived from mesenchyme. When they divide through the process of cellular division, another stem cell is produced along with a committed cell that matures to become an osteoblast

A

Osteoprogenitor

24
Q

Are formed from osteoprogenitor stem cells

A

Osteoblast

25
Q

Osteoblasts perform the important function of synthesizing and secreting the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called

A

Osteoid

26
Q

Depression or pit on the bone surface

A

Resorption lacuna

27
Q

Calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide interact to form crystals to form

A

Hydroxyapatite

28
Q

Bone formation Begins when osteoblasts secrete the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called

A

Osteoid

29
Q

Subsequently occurs to the osteoid when hydroxyapatite crystals deposit in the bone matrix

A

Calcification

30
Q

Compact bone is composed of small cylindrical structures called

A

Osteons

31
Q

Is a cylindrical channel that lies in the center of the osteon and runs parallel to it

A

The central canal

32
Q

Are ring of bone connective tissue that surround the central canal and form the block of the osteon

A

Cocentric lamellae

33
Q

Small spaces that each house an osteocyte

A

Lacunae

34
Q

Tiny interconnecting channels within bone CT that extend from each lacuna, travel through the lamellae and connect to other lacunae and the central canal

A

Canaliculi

35
Q

Covers the ends of some bones

A

Articulate cartilage
