90
Objective: differentiate bone tissue from named bones by listing tissues found in any named bone in addition to bone tissue:
bone tissue, connective tissue proper, cartilage, adipose tissue, bone marrow tissue, smooth muscle tissue, simple squaous epithelium, nervous tissue, blood.
91
what kinds of bones are there?
long short flat irregular and sesamoid bones
92
which kind of bones are in the appendicular skeleton?
long, short flat and sesamoid bones
93
which kinds of bones are in the axial skeleton?
flat and irregular bones only
94
how many bones are in the superior limb?
34 bones, two flat, 22 long, 8 short and 2 sesamoid bones
95
what makes up the pectoral girdle?
bony support for the free parts of the superior limb made of four appendicuar bones: scapulae and clivicles and one axial bone (sternum)
96
what makes up the axial skeleton?
bones of the head, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
97
what makes up 2/3 dry weight of bones?

os coxae is formed by fusion of what?
ilium, ischium and pubis
101
what composes the pelvic girdle
two os coxae, and bony sacrum
102
what exactly is osteology?
the study of bone tissue as wel as individula bones
103
why are new osteons formed by the osteoclasts?
to maintain proper blood calcium levels. New osteons are formed after osteoclasts cut channels through bone.
104
what is compact bone also known as?
cortical bone
105
what is spongy bone also known as?
trabecular bone
106
objective: discuss bone tissue. What are its organic and inorganic components? its three kinds of cells, four kinds of lamellae and histological architecture.
Organic compounds: produced by the osteoblasts, is the ground substance made of protein/polysaccharides. The collagenous fibers are there also. Inorganic components: are the minerals that come from elsewhere. The main mineral is hydroxyapatite. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes
107
objective: explain why interstitial lamellae are always older than adjacent concentric lamellae?
because they used to be an osteon, but they were cut by osteoclasts to maintain blood calcium levels. IN the osteons wake there are osteoblasts waking up and making more osteons. circle of life
108
say three physical fn of bones
body shape, protection, joints provide movement

112
pectoral girdle has what?
clavicle, sternum, scapula
113
pelvic girdle has what?
