Study Notes
Bone Structure and Function
- The main function of bone is to provide support, protection, and movement for the body.
Bone Formation
- Osteoblasts, a type of cell, are responsible for bone formation.
Bone Matrix Composition
- The bone matrix is composed of organic and inorganic materials, including collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite crystals.
Osteocytes Location
- Osteocytes are located within the bone matrix, specifically in the lacunae, which are small cavities.
Surface Covering
- The outer surface of bones is covered by a layer of connective tissue called periosteum, while the inner surface is lined by a layer of cells called endosteum.
