Explain how bone cells embedded in a solid ground substance obtain nutrients and eliminate waste?
Osteocytes are mature bone cells surrounded by matrix which solid bone cell ground substances attach to. Bone cells are in the proximity of blood vessels, just like any other cell in the body. Bones only have cells in their growth areas and in the bone marrow, where blood cells are also produced.
Bone-builing nutrients are found in?
Be your own bodyguard by fighting back and protecting yourself with these bone-building nutrients.
How does a bone cell move?
The bone cell moves through the support of the muscles. The cell muscles will expand and contract which will result into movement of the bone cell.
What important difference between single bone cell and the bone tissue in a human femur bone?
A bone cell is a living cell, but bone tissue includes a non-living matrix
What is the answer to a bone building cell?
An osteoblast is a bone building cell. Osteo=bone, blast=build.
Which body system produce blood cells?
Blood cells are produced in red bone marrow by a process called hematopoiesis. Every cell in the body gets its nutrients from blood.
What is cellular growth movement of nutrients and wastes as a cell size increases?
As a cell gets larger, it is harder for it to process nutrients. The increase of the volume of a cell also hinders a cell's ability to obtain nutrients.
System that brings nutrients and wastes from bone?
The circulatory system brings nutrients and wastes to and from the bone. These systems work closely together to maintain homeostasis.
How do nutrients and pass into a cell?
Osmosis (when nutrients go from a high concentration of nutrients to a low concentration) and phagocytosis (when the cell actually eats it)
Are Osteocyte bone building or bone destroying cell?
It is a bone cell. Osteo=bone+cyte=cell.Osteoblast build bone. Osteo=bone+blast=build.Osteoclasts break bone. -clast=break
What structure of a long bone that stores nutrients?
The marrow stores nutrients.
What cannot metabolize nutrients?
An animal cannot metabolize nutrients.
