BSC 1086C Lecture Notes - Lecture 32: Epiphyseal Plate, Chondroblast, Osteoporosis
Document Summary
Red boxes are regional terms and blue boxes are types of bone tissue (there are two types). List the main function of each structure below. If no function is apparent, describe its features. Central canal basic unit of compact bone that contains lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes, canaliculi, and central (haversian) canals. Epiphyseal line the epiphyseal plate becomes the epiphyseal line when the bone has matured. They are the target cells for drug therapy used to treat osteoporosis. synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of bone tissue initiate calcification. Minimizes the weight of the bone by reducing the dense bony material where it is least needed. where bone growth, repair, and remodeling occur. Metaphysis the bone"s shaft, or body the long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone. Mature bone cells that maintains bone tissue regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses.
