4 Specific Bone Cells
Osteogenitor
Osteoblast
Osteoclast
Osteocyte
Osteogenitor
The stem cell of bones, division
Osteoblasts
Deposit bone cells, decreased blood Ca levels, matrix production
Osteoclast
Formed from monocytes (white blood cells) for destroying bone tissue
Osteocyte
Found in lacuna, mature bone cell
Microscopic structure- What are the two forms of bone?
Compact (dense)
Cacellous (spongy)
6 types of bones
Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
Suture
Sesamoid (bones associated with joints)
What are the 3 parts of a long bone?
Epiphysis
Metaphysis
Diaphysis
What is the structure of the Epihpysis in a long bone?
Articular cartilage, spongy bone, periosteum
What is the structure of the Metaphysis in a long bone?
Epiphyseal plate/ line, periosteum
What is the structure of the Diaphysis in a long bone?
Periosteum, Compact bone, Endosteum, Medullary cavity, Yellow marrow
What is the periosteum and where is it found?
Dnese layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of joints
What is the endosteum and where is it found?
Thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones
Flat Bone (Frontalis)
