Bone Review

Epiphyseal plate: Growth area in bones.
Yellow bone marrow: Located in medullary cavities.
Hyaline cartilage: Connective tissue between bones.
Osteocyte: Mature bone cells (maintain).
Osteoclast: Bone-absorbing cells (break down).
Osteoblast: Bone-forming cells (grow).
Osteon: Cylindrical, functional unit of bone.
Trabeculae: Thin columns/plates in spongy bone.
Red bone marrow: Creates blood cells.
Chondrocyte: Cartilage-forming cells.
Spongy bone: Contains red bone marrow
Compact bone: Hard bone that forms the wall of the diaphysis.
Medullary cavity: Contains yellow bone marrow. Central canal: Tube-shaped passage through bone center. Periosteum: Covers the bone (except ends).
Functions of skeleton: Supports/protects body, produces blood cells, stores mineral salts, allows movement.
Long bone structure: Parts include cartilage, spongy bone, compact bone, osteocytes, matrix, chambers, canals, blood vessels, nerves, yellow/red bone marrow, Organization: osteons surrounding medullary cavity, compact, spongy; Strength/flexibility: collagen + calcium phosphate
Bone growth and repair: Processes that involve osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Discusses osteoporosis, cartilage, spongy and compact bone, and where bone growth occurs in the bone.
