Primarily due to chondrocyte division
8
What is intracartilaginous growth?
laying down a layer of cartrilage and then having osteoblasts deposit bone on pieces of calcified cartilage while osteoclasts resorb the calcified cartilage to give new space

12
In a cross section, how can a cardiac muscle best be differentiated from smooth muscle?
A cardiac muscle has larger, more variable sized fibers.
13
What is a primary lysosome?
newly formed, virgin lysosome
14

only cartilage
23
Where do osteoblasts differentiate from stem cells?
Volkmann's canals, periosteum, marrow cavity, endosteum. Anywhere you can find osteoblasts.

From what part of the germ layer do mesenchymal cells arise from?
neural crest cells
29
The axon hillock prevents ______ from entering the axon.
Ribosomes
30

spinal ganglia
31
Severing the spinal cord will result in damage to neurons whose cell bodies are located in the...?
spinal ganglia and gray matter
32
In peripheral nerves, what are the layers starting from the axon and going outward?
Axon --> myelin --> schwan cell nucleus/cytoplasm--> basal lamina--> endoneurim (fibroblast, CT)
33
What does the serous gland of the Pancreas secrete?
Digestive enzymes like trypsinogens, chymotrypsinogen, amylase, lipase, deoxyribonuclease in inactive proenzyme form.
34
What do the islets of the Pancreas secrete?
Beta cells - insulin (70%)

Mesoderm
41
Where do developing erythroblasts take place?
bone marrow
42
Where do developing leukocytes take place?
