Spina bifida is a congenital defect of the vertebral column in which the laminae of L5 and/or S1 fail to develop normally and unite at the midline. t/f
true

what are bony chambers were osteocytes are located within the compact bone?
lacunae
what is the ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue?

fibula
which of the following is not a step in the formation of endochondral bone?
- Hyaline cartilage develops into the shape of the future bone.
- Periosteum forms from connective tissue on the outside of the developing bone.
- Hyaline cartilage changes to adipose tissue.
- Osteoblasts deposit osseous tissue in place of disintegrating cartilage.
hyaline cartilage changes to adipose tissue
what is a ridge or an elongated prominence on a bone?
crest
when places under mechanical stress, bone tissue becomes stronger through increased deposition of mineral salts and production of _ fibers by _
