Unit 5 Reading Guide Questions Which minerals are stored in bones? Triglycerides‚ calcium phosphate‚ and calcium hydroxide are all stored in the bones as mineral salts Which types of bones provides a large‚ flat surface area for muscle attachment? Flat bones such as the scapulae have large‚ flat surface area for muscle attachment. Describe the location‚ composition‚ and function of the epiphyseal plate. The epiphyseal plate is located in the metaphysis‚ and is composed of hyaline cartilage

~Cross-section of a bone~ Articular cartilage - is a white‚ smooth tissue which covers the ends of bones in joints. Periosteum - is a fibrous sheath that covers bones. It contains the blood vessels and nerves that provide nourishment and sensation to the bone. Cortical bone - forms the outer shell of all bone and also the shafts in long bones. Trabecular bone - is the tissue that makes up the interior of bones. Epiphyseal

is involved. 2. Bone tissue is the primary type involved 3. Connective tissue is the specific type of tissue involved 4. Osteoblasts are the specific types of cells that produce the normal microanatomy of the tissue. 5a. With ageing‚ bone mass decreases. This is espeically true of women following menopuase. Estrogen acts as a protector of bone by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts. Once estrogen levels drop‚ after menopause‚ osteoclast activity increases. 5b. Bone mineral density (BMD)

Bone functions as support and protection for the body as most of us may know. However‚ bones also function as a storage place for many essential life sustaining minerals.

When calcium levels are not adequate in the body from diet alone the body taps into the bones to get the calcium that cells organs nerves and muscles need. When the amounts of calcium are enough for the body‚ then

When in reality bones are very complex and can be classified into multiple groups. The many groups they are classified into are their shapes. There are four main shapes of bones to be classified as; long‚ short‚ flat‚ and irregular. All these classifications are especially different but two of them are somewhat similar; being the long and short bones. The long bone
