  2. Haversian canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversian_canal

    Haversian canals [i] (sometimes canals of Havers, osteonic canals or central canals) are a series of microscopic tubes in the outermost region of bone called cortical bone. They allow blood vessels and nerves to travel through them to supply the osteocytes .

  3. Osteon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteon

    In osteology, the osteon or haversian system (/ h ə ˈ v ɜːr. ʒ ən /; named for Clopton Havers) is the fundamental functional unit of much compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical structures that are typically between 0.25 mm and 0.35 mm in diameter . [ 1 ]

  4. Bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone

    Endochondral ossification occurs in long bones and most other bones in the body; it involves the development of bone from cartilage. This process includes the development of a cartilage model, its growth and development, development of the primary and secondary ossification centers, and the formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal ...

  5. Bone canaliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_canaliculus

    Diameter of canaliculi in human bone is approximately 200 to 900 nm. [1] In bovine tibia diameter of canaliculi was found to vary from 155 to 844 nm (average 426 nm). [ 2 ] In mice humeri it varies from 80 to 710 nm (average 259 nm), while diameter of osteocytic processes varies from 50 to 410 nm (average 104 nm).

  6. Lacuna (histology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacuna_(histology)

    The cartilage cells or chondrocytes are contained in cavities in the matrix, called cartilage lacunae; around these, the matrix is arranged in concentric lines as if it had been formed in successive portions around the cartilage cells. This constitutes the so-called capsule of the space.

  7. Mind Quiz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Quiz

    GameSpot gave the game 4.9/10 (Poor), stating that "Mind Quiz: Your Brain Coach is a shameless clone of Nintendo's brain-training DS game, Brain Age" and that "This game isn't good enough to serve as a game for Brain Age players who are looking for more of the same because it's too similar yet too shallow to entertain that crowd. If you fall ...

  8. Intramembranous ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramembranous_ossification

    [1] Light micrograph of a nidus consisting of osteoprogenitor cells that are displaying a prominent Golgi apparatus. The process of intramembranous ossification starts when a small group of adjacent MSCs begin to replicate and form a small, dense cluster of cells that is called a nidus. [a] Once a nidus has been formed the MSCs within it stop ...

  9. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and CXCR4 mediate recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells. IL-1 and IL-6 are the most important cytokines for bone healing. IL-1 promotes formation of callus and of blood vessels. IL-6 promotes differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. [4] All cells within the blood clot degenerate and die.
