Skel. Sys. Struct/Func
There are this many bones in the human body.
What is 206?
This is the process of converting cartilage to bone.
What is ossification?
This is a mature bone cell.
What is an osteocyte?
This is the long, narrow portion of a bone.
What is the diaphysis?
These are the individual rings that make up an osteon.
What are lamellae?
These are the 5 structures that make up the human skeleton.
What are bones, cartilage, joints, tendons, and ligaments?
These are the cells used in the process of resorption.
What are osteoclasts?
These are the ages that bone is typically ossified for males & females.
What is 25 (for males) & 23 (for females)?
This is found on the outer surface of the epiphysis to prevent friction between bones.
What is articular cartilage?
This is the function of canaliculi.
What is to connect the lacunae/provide nutrients to osteocytes?
This function of the skeletal system is the process of creating blood cells.
What is hematopoiesis?
Osteoblasts are used for this part of bone remodeling.
What is deposition?
This is the part of the skeleton that contains the skull, thoracic cage and vertebrae
What is the axial skeleton?
The endosteum is composed of this type of tissue.
What is simple squamous epithelial tissue?
This is the outer covering of the bone where tendons & ligaments are attached.
What is the periosteum?
This is an example of a mineral that is stored in bone.
What is calcium phosphate?
In a fracture repair, this is the step that occurs after the hematoma forms.
What is the formation of the fibrocartilage callus?
This is the type of fracture that is common in young children.
What is a greenstick fracture?
This portion of a long bone contains the yellow marrow.
What is the medullary/marrow cavity?
This is functional unit of bone structure.
What is the osteon/Haversian system?
These structures allow the skeleton to move freely.
What are joints?
Every year, this much of the skeleton is remodeled.
What is 10%?
What is a spiral fracture?
The bone is done growing when this structure is present.
What is the epiphyseal line?
These are the bony plates that form spongy bone.
What are trabeculae?
