Bone is both an active, or organic tissue, and inorganic in composition. There are basically 3 types of cells found in bone- osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteophytes. They are involved in the production, maintenance, and tear down of bony tissue. The minerals that make up a bone are never static, always being changed to suit the forces applied to a bone (such as strength training). Typical healing time for a bone, in a healthy person, is 6-8 weeks. It will be longer in someone with osteoporosis.
What else can I help you with?
When a fractured bone heals it leaves a thickened region as?
Callus!
Is it true that if you break a bone it becomes stronger?
Yes, when a bone heals from a break, it often becomes denser in the area of the fracture, making it stronger than before. This is due to the body's natural healing process that lays down new bone tissue to support and repair the injured area.
The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called tissue?
The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called trabecular or cancellous bone tissue. It is less dense than compact bone tissue and contains a network of bony trabeculae that provide structural support and help in bone marrow production.
What is osseous tissue?
Osseous tissue, also known as bone tissue, is the specialized connective tissue that forms bones in the body. It is composed of cells called osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts, as well as a matrix of collagen and mineral salts like calcium. Osseous tissue provides support, protection, and functions in mineral storage and blood cell production.
What tissues are in a femur?
The femur bone is composed of osseous tissue (bone tissue) which includes compact bone and spongy bone. Additionally, the femur contains blood vessels, nerves, and bone marrow.
What is active tissue in bone?
sounds like bonemarrow
When a fractured bone heals it leaves a thickened region as?
Callus!
What are the cells responsible for active erosion of bone minerals?
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. They break down bone tissue by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral components of bone. This process is essential for bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
What heals a broken bone?
a cast
Is it true that if you break a bone it becomes stronger?
Yes, when a bone heals from a break, it often becomes denser in the area of the fracture, making it stronger than before. This is due to the body's natural healing process that lays down new bone tissue to support and repair the injured area.
What makes the bone scar?
having a broken bone when it heals it causes scarring
In contrast to compact bone tissue Type of bone tissue that contains a latticework of thin columns of bone?
spongy bone tissue
In contrast to compact bone tissue this type of bone tissue contains an irregular latticework of thin columns of bone?
spongy (bone tissue)
What are the 2 forms of bone composition?
compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue
What are osteoclasts responsible for?
They absorb (or resorb) bone. Bone is active living tissue that is constant remaking itself. The osteoclasts break down and resorb old bone while osteoblasts lay down new bone to take its place.
Which kinds of tissues make up bones?
Osseous tissue, or bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. Osseous tissue forms the rigid part of the bone organs
Is bone an example of nerve tissue?
Bone is quite different from nerve tissue. It is not an excitable tissue.
