a QUESTION 2 All of the following describe spongy bone except OA Diploe OB Compact bone C Trabeculated OD Loosely woven

The smallest bone in the human body is______?

Please identify the structures of bone with the following key terms: canaliculi central canal lacuna lamella osteon

Hydroxyapatite is the crystalline molecular structure that gives all bones their hardness. Explain how this fact is related to the fact that osteoclasts can increase the amount of calcium in the blood by becoming more active?

WORD BANK FROM PAGE 2: Compact bone, Osteocyte, Spongy bone, Trabeculae, Lamella, Periosteum, Volkmann's Canal, Haversian Canal, Lacuna, Red Bone Marrow, Canaliculi, Nucleus. branches off the central canals and run at right angles to the central canal AKA. Perforating Canals carry nutrients and waste materials from one osteocyte to another concentric layers of bone matrix contain slender extensions that connect one osteocyte to other osteocytes little spaces that house the bone cells located in the center of the osteon location of blood vessels for a specific osteon location of blood vessels that originally branched from those within  medullary cavity run perpendicular to reach each osteon mature bone cells that maintain bone  houses genetic material thin bars of bone that twist to form spaces housing marrow tissue in larger amounts in epiphysis & smaller amounts in diaphysis consists of stem cells…

what is the most rigid bone ? Your answer

The majority of the skeleton is made up of this type of bone.
