A

the bone ends which are mainly compromised of cancellous bone

50
Q

Which section of the long bone stores red bone marrow?

A

the epiphysis

51
Q

What is the diaphysis

A

the shaft portion of a long bone

52
Q

is the diaphysis cancellous or compact bone

A

it is made predominantly of compact bone

53
Q

_____ are the part of the region connecting the diaphysis and the epiphysis

A

epiphyseal line (plates)

54
Q

What cells are arranged like columns of coins?

A

cartilaginous

55
Q

What is articular cartilage?

A

the ends of the articulating bones are covered with articular or hyaline cartilage

56
Q

what is articular cartilage made of

A

a hard, white, shiny tissue which helps reduce friction

57
Q

What are compact bones composed of?

A

lamellae

58
Q

What type of bone tissue is the hard outer structure of the skeleton?

A

the compact bone (cortical bone)

59
Q

What bone is supplied with oxygen and nutrients through a blood supply?

A

compact bones

60
Q

What is the difference between cortical and cancellous bone?

A

cortical bone is hard and heavy (dense). Cancellous bone is spongy, less dense, and softer of the two types

61
Q

How does compact bone receive its blood supply?

A

through structures called Haversian or osteons

62
Q

Which type of bone tissue is highly vascularized and porous?

A

Cancellous (spongy bone)

63
Q

Which type of bone tissue is where bloods cells are created?

periosteum

67
Q

what is the medullary cavity?

A

the space within the centre of the diaphysis

68
Q

what does the medullary cavity contain?

A

contains fatty yellow marrow

69
Q

Whhat contains 2 layers? The periosteum or the endosteum ?

A

the periosteum

70
Q

What is the name of bone forming cells?

A

osteoblasts

71
Q

what are bone destroying cells?

A

osteoclasts

72
Q

what are osteocytes?

A

osteoblasts that have matured into bone cells

73
Q

what is ossification?

A

the constant activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is the process in which new bones are formed

74
Q

What compound must be present for ossification to take place?

A

calcium

75
Q

What aids the process of ossification?

A

blood aids by depositing minerals and salts into the bone via osteoblasts

76
Q

Ossification is complete between what age range?

A

18 to 30

77
Q

Lengthening of the bone is achieved by what?

A

the expansion of epiphyseal plates at each end of the disaphysis

78
Q

what three things does bone consist of?

A

water, protein, mineral salts

79
Q

Name 3 osteoporosis risk factors

A

lack of exercise, low body fat, overtraining

80
Q

what is osteoporisis?

A

osteoblast activity decreases causing a drop in bone growth which leads to a gradua loss in bone density
