What are the Five Major cell types of bone tissue
1. Osteogenic cells
2. Osteoblasts
3. Osteocytes
4. Bone-lining cells
5. Osteoclasts
A large Rounded projection may be roughened
Tuberosity
An Indentation at the edge of a structure
Notch
Joints are called?
Sutures
What is the most abundant type of cartilage?
Hyaline
What function do Osteogenic Cells perform?
Mitotically active stem cells in periosteum and endosteum
A Sharp, slender, often pointed projection
Spine
Narrow, slitlike opening
Fissure
What are the four types of bone classifications?
Long bone, Short bone, Flat bone, and irregular bone
This type of cartilage contains Thick collagen fibers and has great tensile strength
Fibrocartilage
what function do osteoblasts perform?
Bone-forming cells that secrete unmineralized bone matrix called osteoid?
A small rounded projection or process
Tubercle
A Canal-like passageway
Meatus
Bone tissues are formed through what process?
Ossification
What two ways does Cartilage grow
Appositional and Interstitial
what function do Osteocytes perform?
Maintain bone matrix and act as stress or strain sensors, as well as inform osteoblasts and osteoclasts so bone remodeling can occur
A Narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent
Credt
A Shallow, basinlike depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface
Fossa
Shallow, basinlike depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface describes what?
Fossa
This cartiliage is made of highly resilient, molded cartilage tissue that consists of primarly of water?
Skeletal cartilage
what is the osteon
The structural unit of the compact bone
A narrow ridge of bone less prominent than a crest
Line
Cavity within a bone, filled with air and lined with mucous membrane
Sinus
