This bone cell develop into osteoblasts.
Osteoprogenitor cell
46
These are bone forming cells found on surface of bone; no ability to mitotically divide; has collagen secretors.
Osteoblasts
47
These bone cells are "mature"; do not secrete matrix material; take part in nutrient exchange and blood waste.

66
This 2nd zone of bone growth under hGH is marked by chondrocytes stacking like coins which then divides.
Proliferation zone
67
This 1st zone of bone growth under hGH is marked by scattered chondrocytes and no actual bone growth.
Zone of resting cartilage
68
This 3rd zone of bone growth under hGH is marked by large chondrocytes arranged in columns and lengthwise expansion of epiphyseal plate.
Zone of hypertrophic (maturing) cartilage
69
This 4th zone of bone growth under hGH is marked by dead chondrocytes surround by a calcified matrix, occupation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and capillaries from the diaphysis.
Zone of calcified cartilage
70
This bone growth is classified as growth of a bone by addition of bone tissue to its surface.

73
Does bone continually renews itself? Yes or No?
Yes
74
What is the process where bone continually renews itself?
Bone remodelling
75
Spongy bone is replaced every __ years
3-4 years
76
Compact bone is replaced every ___ years.
10 years
77
What are the steps of bone repair?
1. Hematoma formation 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation 3. Bony callus formation 4. Remodeling of bone
78
This 3rd stage of bone repair is marked by osteoclasts resorbing the dead bone; osteogenic cells become active, divide, and differentiate into osteoblasts; The cartilage in the calli is then replaced by trabecular bone via e.c. ossification
Bony callus formation
79
This 1st stage of bone repair is marked by the formation of fracture hematoma by the clotted blood.
Hematoma formation
80
In how many hours does hematoma forms after the fracture?
6-8 hours
81
This 2nd stage of bone repair is marked by internal callus formation of chondrocytes from endosteum. Then, the periosteal chondrocytes and osteoblasts create an external callus of hyaline cartilage and bone, respectively, around the outside of the break which then stabilizes the fracture.
Fibrocartilaginous callus formation
82
This 4th stage of bone repair is marked by union of internal and external calli, replacement of compact bone from spongy bone at the outer margins, and healing is complete.
Remodeling of bone
83
How does chondrocytes from the endosteum create an internal callus?
By secreting a fibrocartilaginous matrix between the two ends of the broken bone
