A&P Test 3

Bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, various blood forming tissues, adipose tissue, and nervous tissue

Support the soft tissues and provide attachment sites for muscles (body's structural framework), protect many of the body's internal organs, assist skeletal muscles to produce movement of body parts, store and release several minerals (esp. calcium and phosphorus) to help maintain mineral homeostasis.

AKA: hematopoeisis; the formation of blood cells; occurs in the red marrow of bones

Shaft of the long bone

Ends of the bone that articulate with adjacent bones

Areas between the epiphysis and diaphysis; includes the epiphyseal plate (growth plate), which is the site of bone elongation in growing bones

At the ends of the bone; reduces friction and absorbs shock at freely moveable joints

A connective tissue covering of the surface of the bone which contains osteogenic cells

Promote bone growth in width, assist in fracture repair, help nourish bone tissue; undergo cell division and develop into osteoblasts

The space within the diaphysis that contains yellow marrow (adipose)

The lining of the medullary cavity

AKA osseus tissue; consists of widely separated cells surrounded by large amounts of matrix

1. osteogenic cells2. osteoblasts3. osteocytes4. osteoclasts

Bone-building cells; promote bone deposition

Mature bone cells; derived from osteoblasts; maintain bone tissue
