AB
DiaphysisShaft of a long bone
EpiphysisEnd of a long bone
Epiphyseal plateArea where all lengthwise growth of a long bone occurs
MetaphysisArea of a long bone between diaphysis & epiphysis
PeriosteumMembrane that covers the outside of a bone
Articular cartilageCovers end on long bones where they come together to form a joint
EndosteumLines the marrow cavity of a long bone
Yellow bone marrowFills the marrow (medullary) cavity of the diaphysis
Marrow (medullary) cavityHollow center area of diaphysis
Red bone marrowFills marrow cavities of spongy bone
Red bone marrowBlood cell forming tissue
Collagen fibersOrganic portion of bone matrix
Hydroxyapatite or tricalcium phosphateMajor mineral salt of bone matrix
Osteogenic cellBone cell that develops directly from mesenchyme
OsteoblastCell that builds all bone matrix
OsteocyteMature bone cell
OsteocyteCell that maintains bone matrix
OsteoclastBone breakdown cell
OsteoclastBone cell that develops from monocytes
Compact boneStrongest type of bone
Compact boneBone type with minimum spaces and maximum amount of matrix
Compact boneType of bone found on the outside of all the body's bones
Compact boneType of bone that forms the entire diaphysis of long bones
Compact boneType of bone that is organized into osteons
Concentric lamellaeRings of calcified bone matrix found in the osteon
CanaliculiTiny tunnels through bone that connect lacunae with the central canal and with each other
LacunaeSpaces in bone matrix in which osteocytes live
Interstitial lamellaeFill the spaces between osteons
Spongy boneType of bone that is less strong
Spongy boneType of bone that is lighter in weight
Spongy boneType of bone that makes up the inside part of most bones
Intramembranous ossificationProcess that forms bone tissue from those parts of the embryonic skeleton represented by fibrous CT membranes
Mandible, clavicle, flat skull bonesName the bones formed by intramembranous ossification
PerichondriumMembrane found on the outside of cartilage
Endochondral ossificationProcess that forms most of the bones of the body
Endochondral ossificationProcess that changes a hyaline cartilage model to bone
Articular cartilage and epiphyseal plateTwo places on a long bone where the hyaline cartilage of the model persists
Spongy boneType of bone always formed first
Zone of resting cartilageZone of epiphyseal plate nearest to the epiphysis of the bone
Zone of proliferating cartilageZone of epiphyseal plate where young chondrocytes divide
Zone of hypertrophic cartilageZone of epiphyseal plate where chondrocytes mature and enlarge
Zone of calcified cartilageZone where epiphyseal plate cartilage is turned to bone
Appositional growthType of growth that increases the diameter of bones
Vitamin DVitamin that contributes to bone strength by allowing calcium absorption from the digestive tract
hGHHormone that causes cells to produce insulin-like growth factors (IGFs)
hGHHormone associated with normal lengthwise growth of bones and growth of other tissues
Sex hormones (estrogens/testosterone)Responsible for spurts of growth at puberty
Fracture hematomaBlood clot at fracture site
ProcallusNext step in fracture repair following fracture hematoma
Fibrocartilage (soft) callusForms in the granulation tissue of a healing fracture
ProcallusGranulation tissue in the site of a fracture
Bony (hard) callusSpongy bone that forms in the area of a healing fracture
Remodeling of callusLast & longest stage in fracture repair
Parathyroid hormoneHormone secreted when blood calcium level drops
Parathyroid hormoneHormone that increases the activity of osteoclasts
CalcitoninHormone secreted when blood calcium rises
CalcitoninHormone that increases the activity of osteoblasts
ThyroidEndocrine gland that secretes calcitonin
