Inner layer of periosteum Signup and view all the answers

What is the primary function of the endosteum?

To provide a protective lining for the spongy bone walls Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of osteocalcin in the mineralization of the bone matrix?

Osteocalcin binds to extracellular calcium ions, leading to a high local concentration Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of alkaline phosphatase in the mineralization of the bone matrix?

Alkaline phosphatase increases local calcium and phosphate concentrations, which facilitates mineral deposition Signup and view all the answers

What is the role of matrix vesicles in the mineralization of the bone matrix?

Matrix vesicles accumulate calcium and phosphate ions from larger molecules, which then serve as nucleation sites for mineral deposition Signup and view all the answers

How do osteoclasts facilitate the resorption of bone matrix?

Osteoclasts secrete lysosomal enzymes that hydrolyze the collagenous protein and glycosaminoglycans of the bone matrix, releasing the attached mineral salts Signup and view all the answers

Which of the following is the correct sequence of events during endochondral ossification?

Primitive mesenchyme → developing cartilage model → primary ossification center → secondary ossification center Signup and view all the answers

Proliferative zone (PZ) Signup and view all the answers

What is the primary function of osteoclasts during bone remodeling?
