The body system that is composed of bones, cartilages, and ligaments joined tightly to form a strong, flexible framework for the body.

This is a protein based organic molecule that provides resistance and flexibility in bone; prevents tensile force

This type of ossification produces the flatbones of the skull as well as the clavicle

This is he crystallization process in which calcium, phosphate, and other ions are taken from the blood plasma and deposited in bone tissue

This is the branch of medicine concerned with bone disorders; Deals with the prevention and correction of bone, joint, and muscle injuries

These types of bones have equal heights and widths; examples are carpal and tarsal bones

Found in the endosteum and inner layer of the periosteum, these cells from the embryonic mesenchymal cells are bone generating

This is a process in which a bone develops from a preexisting model of hyaline cartilage and is the process in which most bones develop

This is a condition resulting from a deficiency of calcium in the blood

Type of fracture where there is a break in bone weakened by some other disease and usually caused by a stress that would not normally fracture a bone

Feature of the long bone that composes the outer shell

These are former osteoblasts that have been trapped in the matrix they deposited

This law states that the architecture of a bone is determined by the mechanical stresses placed upon it, and the bone thereby adapts to withstand those stresses.

This is a form of vitamin D that behaves as a hormone that raises blood calcium concentration

This type of fracture in which the bone is incompletely broken on one side but merely bent on the opposite side

This type of bone is a loosely organized form of osseous tissue found at the ends of long bones

This is a macrophage of the bone surface that dissolves the matrix and returns minerals to the extracellular fluid; this also produces acid and enzymes to break down bone

The name of the zone where minerals are deposited in the matrix and cells secrete bone around them

This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands when blood calcium is low

A type of treatment of a fracture, this is a procedure in which the bone fragments are manipulated into their normal positions without surgery

Also known as mineralization, this is the hardening of the matrix of connective tissue by the depositions of calcium phosphate and other minerals

Also known as volkmann's canals, these canals are transverse or diagonal passages that join to the central canal

By your 20's all cartilage in this plate will have been consumed

Disease due to the deficiency of calcium in the blood resulting in a softness of bone in children
