A

Periosteum

17
Q

Inner cell of endosteum consists of ?

A

Osteoblast, Osteoclasts, osteoprogenitor

18
Q

An incomplete layer of cells that covers all internal surfaces of the bone within the medullary cavity

19
Q

In a flat bone of the skull, the spongy bone is called ?

20
Q

Bone is highly vascularized ? True or false

21
Q

Hole in the bone

A

Nutrient foramen

22
Q

Primary component of bone is

A

Bone connective tissue

23
Q

Stem cells are derived from mesenchyme. When they divide through the process of cellular division, another stem cell is produced along with a committed cell that matures to become an osteoblast

A

Osteoprogenitor

24
Q

Are formed from osteoprogenitor stem cells

A

Osteoblast

25
Osteoblasts perform the important function of synthesizing and secreting the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called
Osteoid
26
Depression or pit on the bone surface
Resorption lacuna
27
Calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide interact to form crystals to form
Hydroxyapatite
28
Bone formation Begins when osteoblasts secrete the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called
Osteoid
29
Subsequently occurs to the osteoid when hydroxyapatite crystals deposit in the bone matrix
Calcification
30
Compact bone is composed of small cylindrical structures called
Osteons
31
Is a cylindrical channel that lies in the center of the osteon and runs parallel to it
The central canal
32
Are ring of bone connective tissue that surround the central canal and form the block of the osteon
Cocentric lamellae
33
Small spaces that each house an osteocyte
Lacunae
34
Tiny interconnecting channels within bone CT that extend from each lacuna, travel through the lamellae and connect to other lacunae and the central canal
Canaliculi
35
Covers the ends of some bones
Articulate cartilage
