formed with
tendons
;
patella
Osteoblasts
Bone

Types of bone
Compact
bone
Spongey
bone
Compact Bone
Provides
protection
&
support
, resists
stress.
Shell of
bone
Spongey Bone
Made up of a
honey-comb
of small
needle
like or flat people called
Trabeculae
Trabeculae
Help bone
resist
stress
- spaces betweeen trabeculae are filled with
red
or
yellow
bone
marrow
Bone Marrow
Red
- Produces
blood cells
yellow
-
store
fat
Histology of compact bone
Repeating structural unit
if compact bone are called
osteons
OsteonsOsteons form around central / Haversion canal; blood cells & nerves lye within
Lamellae
Rings
that are
rich
in
collagen
,
surround
nutrient
canals
of
osteons
Lucanae
Small space between
Conventric
Lamellae
are called
Lucanae
; osteocytes sit within
epiphysis
Name for the
ends
of a
bone
Diaphysis
Shaft of the bone
Metaphysis
Seperate the
epiphysis
&
Diaphysis
articulate Cartilage
Covers proximal & distal end of
epiphysis
-
limits friction
Periosteum
Covers diaphysis & epiphysis -
protects
bone,
repair
attachment joint of tendons / ligaments
Medullary Cavity
Within the diaphysis contains yellow & red bone marrow
Bone formation - embryo / foetus
Intamembranus
endochondral
intramembranus
defines skull
