Bone anatomy
This bone is found on the inside of flat and long bones. It is lightweight and not very dense.
spongy bone
This bone is part of the axial skeleton. It is the only bone in the body that does not attach to another bone. Its primary purpose is anchoring the tongue
hyoid
Ossification refers to this process
bone formation
These bones cells are mature
osteocytes
This organ system is made up of all the bones in the body and the tissues that connect them.
Skeletal System
Place where two bones come together
joint of articulation
The pelvic girdle belongs to this division of the skeleton
appendicular
Endochondrial ossificaiton uses this tissue for a template
cartilage
Mature bone cells live in cave-like structures called
lacunae
Number of bones an adult human has.
206
Hollow space at the center of a long bone
medullary cavity
The spine belongs to this division of the skeleton
axial
connective tissue membrane
The job of osteoclasts
breaking down bone
Bones store this inorganic material in their matrix
Long bones increase in length at this structure
epiphyseal plate
The pectoral girdle is made up of these two boness
scapula and clavicle
These types of bones are formed through endochondrial ossification.
Long bones
the job of osteoblasts
building bone
yellow marrow
These are vertical canals through compact bone that allow nerves and blood vessels to pass through
haversian
Phalanges are part of this skeletal division
appendicular
These types of bones are formed through intramembranous ossification
flat bones
These bone cells are responsible for forming the medullary cavity.
osteoclasts
Red marrow is responsible for making this type of cell.
Red blood cells
