pg. 2 Draw and label an osteon. What type of bone does the osteon construct? lamella (3 types) / central (Haversian) canal / perforating (Volkman’s) canal / blood vessels / canaliculi / lacuna / osteocyte List 3 reasons bone is so resistant to torsion stresses.
Describe how short, flat, and irregular bones are constructed. (diploe, trabecullae, etc.) What is the purpose of the diploe? On birth, which part of a long bone is osseous? Which parts remain cartilage? Describe how an EGP leads to bone growth. Which hormones are involved in causing it to expand? Which hormone causes it to stop expanding?
