What is the term for the membrane around the shaft of a long bone?
The periosteum is the membrane around the shaft of a long bone.
What is the location of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts break down bone (osteo-=bone, -clast=breaks) and osteoblasts build bone. (-blast=builder). This osteoclasts is on the surface of the bone. Usually breaking down and building up of bone is in equilibrium.
What is the name of membrane that lines the medullary canal?
It is the endosteum.
What is the medullary cavity lined with?
Endosteum
What structure lines the medullary cavity?
endosteum
Difference between periosteum and endosteum?
Eggplant
What is the membrane that covers the bone?
Those "membranes" are called periosteum. The periosteum is how bone gets part of its blood supply.
What is the strong fibrous membrane covering the shaft of the long bone called?
periosteum
What does the periosteum?
Peri means around and osteum means bone. So periosteum means the structure that surrounds the bone. This fallows that you have endosteum inside the long bones. Also that you have two layers of periosteum for flat bones of the skull bones and no endosteum there. (This layer acts as barrier between the bone and other tissues that is attached to bones.)
Where are osteoblasts produced?
Osteoblast are made in three areas of bone periosteum, endosteum, and the haversian canal.
Which structures allow communication between blood vessels and nerves in the periosteum and endosteum?
Perforating (Volkmann's ) canals.
What is the term for the membrane around the shaft of a long bone?
The periosteum is the membrane around the shaft of a long bone.
Two bone cells located in the periosteum and endosteum are?
osetoblasts and osteoclasts which are both needed for bone formation and repair.
What does the bone have in it?
articular cartage ephiphyseal line spongy bone medullaty cavity nutrient foramen endosteum periosteum
What covers the long bones?
The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.
A long bone grows in thickness as bone tissue is deposited beneath its what?
periosteum
What is the major submembranous site of osteoclast?
Like the periosteum, the endosteum contains both osteoblasts and osteoclasts.compound bone
