-former osteoblasts that have become trapped in the matrix they have deposited
-some reabsorb bone matrix while others deposit it
-contribute to homeostatic mechanism of bone density and calcium and phosphate ions
|
|
Osteoblasts
|
-bone forming cell that is found in newest layer of bone
-synthesize soft organic matter of matrix, then hardens by mineral deposition
-then called an osteocyte after being trapped in the matrix
-contributes to homeostatic mechanism of bone density, calcium, and phosphate ions
|
|
Osteoclasts
|
-bone dissolving cells found on the bone surface
-large cells formed from the fusion of several stem cells
|
|
Osteoporosis
|
-estrogen maintains density in both sexes; inhibits osteoclasts
-common in young female athletes
|
|
Joint (articulation)
|
any point where two bones meet, whether or not the bones are movable at that interface

|
fibrous joints or synarthrosis
|
largely immovable joint where two bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue
|
|
cartilaginous joints
|
