    What are the constituents of bone?

    Includes bone cells, bone matrix, periosteum, and endosteum.

    What distinguishes compact bone from cancellous bone?

    Compact bone is solid with no holes, while cancellous bone is spongy with many holes.

    Where is compact bone primarily located?

    In the shaft of long bones and outer covering of short bones.

    What is the Haversian system?

    The functional and structural unit of compact bone.

    What role do Volkmann's canals play in bone structure?

    They connect Haversian canals and contain blood vessels.

    What is intramembranous ossification?

    The process where membrane is infiltrated with osteoid tissue that becomes calcified.

    How does endochondral ossification differ from intramembranous ossification?

    Endochondral ossification replaces cartilage with bone, while intramembranous ossification does not.

    What is appositional growth?

    Growth in width by adding new bone under the periosteum.

    What happens during interstitial growth?

    Bone lengthens through proliferation of hyaline cartilage at epiphyseal plates.

    What remains as cartilage during bone growth?

    The articular surface of joints and epiphyseal plates.

    What are the primary ossification centers?

    Locations in the diaphysis where bone formation begins.

    What is the significance of the epiphyseal line?

    It marks the remnant of the epiphyseal plate after growth ceases.
