There are two types of bone tissue: [...]. cloze 1 |
There are two types of bone tissue: compact and spongy. |
anatomy bone-tissue skeletal source:seer |
| Compact bone consists of closely packed units known by what name? | Osteons, also called haversian systems. |
anatomy bone-tissue skeletal source:seer |
| What is the name of the central canal of an osteon? | The osteonic (haversian) canal. |
anatomy bone-tissue skeletal source:seer |
What are the concentric rings of matrix that surround the osteonic canal called? typed |
lamellae | anatomy bone-tissue skeletal source:seer |
In compact bone, what are the spaces between the rings of matrix where the osteocytes are located called? typed |
lacunae | anatomy bone-tissue skeletal source:seer |
What are the small channels that radiate from the lacunae to the osteonic canal, providing passageways through the hard matrix, called? typed |
canaliculi | anatomy bone-tissue skeletal source:seer |
| What is another name for spongy bone? | Cancellous bone. It is lighter and less dense than compact bone. |

The four principal types of bones by shape are [...]. cloze 1 |
The four principal types of bones by shape are long, short, flat and irregular. |
anatomy classification skeletal source:seer |
| Which bones of the body are examples of long bones? | Bones of the thigh, leg, arm, and forearm. | anatomy classification skeletal source:seer |
| Which bones of the body are examples of short bones? | The bones of the wrist and ankle. Henry Vandyke Carter, Gray's Anatomy (1918), public domain, via Wikimedia Commons |
anatomy classification skeletal source:seer |
| Most of the bones of the cranium belong to which shape class of bone? | Flat bones. Flat bones are thin, flattened, and usually curved. |
anatomy classification skeletal source:seer |
| The vertebrae and some of the bones in the skull belong to which shape class of bone? | Irregular bones. |
anatomy classification skeletal source:seer |
| What is the diaphysis of a long bone? | The central shaft. There is an epiphysis at each end of the diaphysis. OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology, "603 Anatomy of a Long Bone", CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0), via Wikimedia Commons |
