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
