Q

thin tubes that connect the lacunae; provide passageways for osteocytes

A

canaliculi

28
Q

concentric rings between the lacunae

A

lamellae

29
Q

building bone cells; release calcium into the blood stream

A

osteoblasts (one nucleus)

30
Q

mature bone cells; sense stress on the bone and add more material if needed; maintains the viability and the structural integrity of bone

A

osteocytes - most common in compact bones

31
Q

clearing/crushing out bone cells during bone resorption; deposit calcium into the bone

A

osteoclasts (many nuclei)

32
Q

hard, outer shell of the bone

A

cortical

33
Q

spongey-looking center of the bone

A

trabecular

34
Q

runs perpendicular to the central canal

A

Volkmann’s Canal

35
Q

Bone formation

A

Osteogenesis/Ossification

36
Q

4 stages of Ossification

A

Initial formation, bone growth, remodelling, repair

37
Q

At how many weeks does bone formation starts?

A

8 weeks of fetal development

38
Q

a fibrous membrane made up of collagen and other blood vessels where bones grow directly

A

Mesenchyme

39
Q

Model/template of bone structures; temporary; must be broken down prior to actual ossification

A

Hyaline cartilage

40
Q

During childhood, what process of bone remodelling is more prominent?

A

Bone synthesis by osteoblasts

41
Q

what do osteoclasts create during bone remodelling?

A

Acidic environment that dissolves the mineral content of bones

42
Q

what do osteoblasts produce?

A

Osteoid

43
Q

what happens to the osteoids when trapped inside the matrix?

A

become osteocytes

44
Q

what process osteoids undergo when they revert back to lining cells, covering the surface of the bone?

A

apoptosis

45
Q

In fracture, what do cartilage do?

A

Form a bridge between the ends of the broken bone

46
Q

What is the process of forming blood vessels in bone?

A

angiogenesis

47
Q

how many percent is the cortical bone in the skeletal mass?

A

80%

48
Q

in Ca homeostasis, what receptor gland release the hormone to increase Ca level?

A

parathyroid gland

49
Q

calcium in bones

A

calcitonin

50
Q

what bone cell activity is decreased when the Ca level is too high?

A

Resorption by osteoclasts since they are the one that release calcium into the blood stream

51
Q

sites where two bone meet

A

joints

52
Q

type of joint that permit only a little movement

A

fibrous

53
Q

type of joint that consists cartilage and is slightly mobile/movable

A

cartilaginous

54
Q

type of joint that is the most movable among all joints

A

synovial

55
Q

secretes the synovial fluid

A

synovial membrane

56
Q

joints that allow sliding movement b/w flat surfaces

A

gliding

57
Q

joints that move in one direction (like a door hinge)

A

hinge

58
Q

joints that allow rotation

A

pivot

59
Q

joints that can move side-to-side, back and forth, but cannot rotate

A

condyloid/condylar

60
Q

joints that are concave shaped

A

saddle

61
Q

joints that consist of a spherical head in a round concativity

A
