Chapter 6 Bone Structure and Bone Development

1

• Chapter 6 Bone Structure and Bone Development
• which type of bone marrow is responsible for
  producing new blood cells
• the main component of yellow marrow is
• mass of clotted blood forming at the site of
  injury
• small cavities housing osteocytes
• central canal of osteon through which blood
  vessels and nerves pass
• bone cells responsible for bone resorption,
  secrete acids that help break down bone

2

• shape of femur
• shape of phalanges
• shape of vertebrae
• most abundant cartilage of body
• main component of cartilage that makes cartilage
  very resilient to compression forces
• canals that form between lacunae and make
  connections between osteocytes found in lacunae
• part of skeleton comprised of skull, vertebrae,
  and thoracic cavity

3

• law stating that bone grows or remodels in
  response to the forces or demands placed on it
• number of bones in adult
• tiny struts of spongy bone aligned toward lines
  of stress
• term for blood formation
• two factors that can delay osteoporosis
• aka bone formation
• ends of a long bone
• cavity within diaphysis where yellow marrow found
• 4 functions of the skeletal system

4

• what gland is responsible for secreting hormones
  that control bone growth
• what hormone triggers the release of calcium into
  the blood by signaling osteoclasts to break down
  bone
• what hormone counteracts PTH, to increase calcium
  depositing to bone
• type of cartilage found between vertebrae
• limbs are part of what division of the skeleton
• aka porous bones, and which is accelerated, bone
  resorption or bone depositing

5

• aka dwarfism
• osteomalacia in children aka
• what vitamin helps absorb dietary calcium
• realignment of broken bones
• extend around entire circumference of shaft just
  deep to periosteum
