Unit 2 Lesson 2: Osseous Tissue and Bone Structure 1. Name the five primary functions of the skeletal system. 2. Identify the six broad categories for classifying a bone according to shape. 3. Define bone marking. 4. Mature bone cells are known as ______, bonebuilding cells are called ______, and ______ are bone-resorbing cells. 5. How would the compressive strength of a bone be affected if the ratio of collagen to hydroxyapatite increased? 6. If the activity of osteoclasts exceeds the activity of osteoblasts in a bone, how will the mass of the bone be affected?

The five primary functions of the skeletal system are: - Support: providing a framework for the body and supporting soft tissues - Protection: protecting vital organs such as the brain, spinal cord, and internal organs - Movement: serving as attachment points for Show more…

How do osteoblasts form bone tissue? Describe the microscopic structure of bone. How do osteocytes get nutrients and oxygen? What are the terms that describe two ways in which bone forms? What are the two types of bone that are formed? What is the advantage of having bone form from connective tissue? Describe the process of endochondral bone formation in the diaphysis of a long bone?

The functions of bone tissue follow its structure. In bone tissue, the strong collagen fibers give bones tensile strength (flexibility) and resistance to pulling force; while the inorganic salts (calcium hydroxyapatite and other mineral salts) give bones compression resistance (resistance to compression and heavy weights). If the bones are treated by the following treatments: Bones baked for 2 hours at 400°F (hint for answering question: which component of bone tissue is destroyed by baking?) Bones soaked in 1M Nitric acid for 6 hours (which component of bones tissue is eaten away by acid?)
