Hematopoiesis takes place in the ____ of some adult bones.
|
Red bone marrow
|
|
In adults, lipids are stored in the _____
|
Yellow bone marrow
|
|
The periostium is attached to the underlying bone through _____
|
Perforating (sharpey's) fibers
|
|
The extracellular matrix of bone tissue is made up of:
|
15% water, 30% collagen, and 55% crystallized mineral salts
|
|
When there is too little calcium in blood, which cells begin resorption of bone to release calcium to the blood?
|
Osteoclasts
|
|
If central (Haversian) canals become blocked the osteocytes:
|
Die from lack of nutrients
|
|
Explain support
|
the skeletal system supports soft tissue and provides attachment points for tendons
|
|
Explain mineral homeostasis
|
Bone tissue stores 99% of the body's calcium. Bone releases minerals into the blood to maintain critical mineral balances
|
|
Explain blood cell reproduction
|
Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
|
|
What is hemopoiesis?
|
Process of making blood cells (red, white, and platelets)
|
|
Explain triglyceride storage
|
Yellow bone marrow consists mainly of adipose cells, which store triglycerides.
|
|
What is periostium?
|
Consisting of dense regular connective tissue, promotes bone growth in width or diameter.
|
|
What is the endostium?
|
Lines the medullary cavity providing the ability to remodel the bone.
|
|
What happens during resorption?
|
Bone cells break down bone tissue and release calcium and other minerals for use in the body
|
|
What happens during deposition?
|
Bone cells rebuild bone tissue by depositing minerals obtained from the bloodstream
