periosteum function & composition
surrounds bone in a layer; collagen fibers, mesenchymal cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts
periosteal function
new bone formation
mesenchymal cells can become
osteocyte, chondrocyte, muscle cell, stromal cell, or fibroblast
osteoblasts function
store calcium, new bone formation
osteoclast characteristics
multinucleated, brush border, resorption, acid hydrolases pH decrease
osteoclast function
bone resorption and remodeling (by using brush border, applying acid, & sealing it)
2 types of bone
lamellar & woven (spongiosa)
woven bone characteristics & example
large lacunae & collagen fibers randomly arranged ; end of long bones/skull

cells and collagen in an orderly fashion, found in adult bone, artery vein & nerve inside
muscle tissue main function
voluntary & involuntary contractility
what helps muscle contractility
myofilaments
2 types of myofilaments
actin & myosin
example of striated voluntary
skeletal
example of nonstriated involuntary
