Builds new bone

7
New cards

Osteoclasts

Remove old bone

8
New cards

Ossification

The process of bone being made (Bone formation)

  • Bone shell covers cartilage

  • Osteoclasts absorb cartilage to make medullary cavity (

9
New cards

Longitudinal Growth

Grows towards epiphyseal plates at the ends of long bones; ends with adolescence 

10
New cards

Circumferential Growth

  • Bones grow in diameter throughout life

  • Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts both working

11
New cards

Adult Bone Development

  • Collagen decreases with age, leads to brittle bones

    • More problematic for women due to smaller bones

12
New cards

Axial Skeleton

Includes skull, vertebral (spinal) column,  and thoracic (rib) cage

13
New cards

Appendicular Skeleton

  • Shoulder, arms, wrists, and hands

  • Pelvis, legs, ankles, and feet
