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 structure lines the medullary cavity?
endosteum
What is it called when individual grows to adulthood is the thickness (diameter) of bone increased?
Appositional growth is the process by which old bone that lines the medullary cavity is reabsorbed and new bone tissue is grown beneath the periosteum, increasing bone diameter.
Difference between periosteum and endosteum?
The periosteum is a dense membrane of connective tissue that covers the outer surface of bones, while the endosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of bones. The periosteum is involved in bone growth, repair, and nutrition, while the endosteum is involved in bone remodeling and repair.
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.
What is the membrane that covers the bone?
The membrane that covers bones is called the periosteum. It is a dense, fibrous membrane that contains blood vessels, nerves, and cells involved in bone growth and repair.
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.
What is the difference between the periosteum and the endosteum?
The periosteum a membrane with a fibrous outer layer and a cellular inner layer. The periosteum isolates the bound surrounding the tissue, provides a route for the circulatory and nervous supply and actively particiapates in bone growth and repair. The endosteum an incomplete cellular layer, lines the marrow cavity. This layer which is active during bone growth, repair, and remodeling, covers the trabeculae of spongy bone and lines the inner surfaces of the central canals.
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. The periosteum is a dense fibrous membrane that surrounds the outer surface of bones and is responsible for generating new bone tissue, contributing to the growth in thickness of long bones.
What is the medical term meaning structure within the bone?
Periostitis - inflammation of the periosteum, or tissue surrounding the bone.Periostitis, or inflammation of the periostium.Periosteitis is inflammation of the periosteum the membranous cover surrounding a bone.
