whereas osteoblasts produce new bone tissue. To maintain bone integrity, this process must be tightly regulated. Increasing evidence indicates that both iron overload and deficiency affect osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation and activity in a manner that disrupts...
Bone TypeDescription Long Bone long, thin shape; include bones found in the limbs (arms and legs). Long bones permit movement and support weight Short Bone cube shaped; include bones in the wrists and ankles Flat Bone flattened, broad surface; include bones found in the ribs, shoulder blades...
In bone remodeling, osteoblast–osteoclast interactions are necessary and must be coordinated in time and space to maintain the focal bone remodeling balance; this balance refers to the net amount of tissue resorbed and formed at each remodeling site (i.e., focal point) to maintain the structural...

which hardens the matrix. The non-mineralized portion of the bone or osteoid continues to form around blood vessels, forming spongy bone. Connective tissue in the matrix differentiates into red bone marrow in the fetus. The spongy bone is remodeled into a thin layer of compact bone on the sur...
A ___ is the connective tissue structure that connects a muscle to a bone. What is a predentary bone? Is the bone tissue vascular or avascular? The bones between the ankle and the toe are the ___. What is a sesamoid bone? Give an example. To what bone...
The hard connective tissue that, together with cartilage, forms the skeleton of humans and other vertebrates. It is made of calcium phosphate crystals arranged on a protein scaffold. Bone performs a variety of functions: it has a structural and mechanical role; it protects vital organs; it provi...
Angles:Sharp bony angulations that may serve as bony or soft tissue attachments but are often used for precise anatomical description. Examples include the scapula's superior, inferior, and acromial angles and the occiput's superior, inferior, and lateral angles. ...
Background: Articular cartilage is a highly specialized connective tissue consisting of sparse chondrocytes widely dispersed in an abundant hyaline matrix. How this complex structure is being formed and how the discrete chondrocytes communicate with each other are not well understood. An interlacunar ...
Design: Eight PMTs (6 from bone and 2 from soft tissue) with known OO, including 6 cases of mixed connective tissue variant (MCT) and 2 cases of osteoblastic variant (OB), were studied. Cytogenetic analysis was performed in 4 examples of MCT by dual-color chromogenic in situ hybridization...
