Resource summary
Human Skeletal System
Bone Tissue Structures & Functions
extracellular matrix consists of calcium phosphate, collagen fibers, and glycoproteins-
osteocytes - bone cells
located within spaces in lacunae
compact bone: arranged in osteons
spongy bone a meshwork with diff organization from compact bone
Bone Tissue Functions
provides levers for body mvm't
supports soft structures
protects organs
stores calcium and phosphrous
Bone Cell Types & Functions
Osteoprogenitor - stem cell derived from mesenchyme that differentiates into an osteoblast
Osteoblast - lays down new bone for bone growth, remodeling, and repair.
Osteocyte - maintains the matrix surrounding it
Osteoclast - break down bone
Joint Classifications
Classification Based on Mvm't
amphiarthrosis
diarthrosis
synarthrosis
Classification Based on Structure
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
