Q

what is the inner layer of compact bone called

A

endosteum

31
Q

what does the endosteum line

A

medullary cavity

32
Q

what is the medullary cavity

A

hollow space in bones

33
Q

how are osteocytes formed

A

osteogenic cell –> osteoblasts –> osteocytes

34
Q

what causes osteogenic cells to form

A

increase in mitotic activity

35
Q

what is the matrix that surrounds osteoblasts and makes them turn into osteocytes

A

collagen and calcium matrix

36
Q

what 2 things form osteoclasts

A

monocytes and macrophages

37
Q

what makes long bones

A

endochondrial ossification

38
Q

what do mesenchymal cells turn into in endochondrial ossification

A

chondrocytes

39
Q

what covers cartilage in endochondrial ossification

A

perichondrium

40
Q

what happens as the matrix increases in endochondrial ossification

A

chondrocytes grow

41
Q

what happens to the matrix eventually in endochondrial ossification

A

it calcifies and dies

42
Q

what happens once blood vessels invade the space in endochondrial ossification

A

they carry osteogenic cells

43
Q

what happens when chondrocytes grow at the ends of bones

A

epiphysis is formed

44
Q

what CT forms bones in intramembranous ossification

A

mesenchymal CT

45
Q

what forms when osteoblasts cluster in intramembranous ossification

A

ossification center

46
Q

what happens to osteoblasts when matrix calcifies in intramembranous ossification

A

they’re trapped

47
Q

what happens when osteoblasts become trapped in intramembranous ossification

A

they turn into osteocytes

48
Q

what does new osteoblasts on the surface create in intramembranous ossification

A

periosteum layer

49
Q

what is formed when trabecular bone crowds the blood vessels

A

RBC are formed

50
Q

what happens in secondary ossification

A

epiphysis grows bone

51
Q

where does the growth of long bone occur

A

metaphysis

52
Q

what is formed that causes the epiphyseal side to grow

A

cartilage

53
Q

what is formed that causes the diaphysial side to grow

A

bone

54
Q

what is the reserve zone

A

small chondrocytes that don’t participate in growth

55
Q

what does the reserve zone secure

A

epiphysis

56
Q

what kind of growth stops in adulthood

A

longitudinal

57
Q

what do chondrocytes do to bone growth in adulthood

A

cease proliferation

58
Q

what does bone replace during bone growth in adulthood

A

cartilage

59
Q

how do bones grow in diameter via osteoclasts

A

osteoclasts reabsorb old bone

60
Q

how do bones grow in diameter via osteoblasts

A

osteoblasts produce new tissue beneath the periosteum

61
Q

what is the master regulator in bone growth

A

osteocytes

62
Q

out of RANK, RANKL, OPG, SOST what do osteocytes make

A

RANKL, OPG, SOST

63
Q

A

receptor on osteoclast

64
Q

what does RANK bind to

A

RANKL

65
Q

what causes bone formation in the RANK system

A

RANKL and OPG

66
Q

what does SOST do

A

inhibits bone formation or reabsorption
