Chondro means

Cartilage

Cartilage is a….

strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones. It acts as a shock absorber throughout the body.

Cranium encases and…

protects the brain/ which includes the frontal, parietal, temporal, ethmoid, sphenoid and occupational bones

Bones

framework and help with movement. Provide storage in place for mineral that help it grow/a delicate balance of calcium and phosphorus

Inner bones

holds the bone marrow which manufactures red blood cells

Bones are made up of Osseous,

blood vessels and neves

Osseous consist of

Osteocytes (bone cells), collagen, and intercellular calcium salts

Osteoclast

large cells that reabsorb, or digest, bone tissue

function of Osteoclast

activated to keep the bone strong and “repaired and remove debris” so that the bone does not become too thick and heavey.

when a bone breaks

Osteoblasts provide the calcium salts (rebuild), Osteoclasts (tearing down the old) remove excess bone debris (smooth out the bone)

Osteoblasts provide the calcium salts (rebuild), Osteoclasts (tearing down the old) remove excess bone debris (smooth out the bone) This process helps…

during the process of life and growth of bone and rebuild during the human life span

Long bones
