4.epithelial
Term
functions of the 4 tissue types

CONNECTIVE-provides support,connects all parts
EPITHELIAL-covers surfaces of your body inside and out

structure of the bone
Definition
outer membrane
compact bone
spongy bone
marrow
Term
functions of compact,spongy, and marrow parts of the bone
Definition
COMPACT-hard, dense, not solid,covers all bone except ends, canals carry blood vessels and nerves from the bone's surface to the living cells within the bone
SPONGY-has many spaces in it, lightweight BUT strong, also found at the end of bones
MARROW- red-produces SOME blood cells,,yellow-stores fat
Term
bone growth and development
Definition
1.bone forms new tissue as you grow
2.after you grow, still forms new tissue
3.new bone forms after accident
4.if you break a bone, new tissue will form to fill the gap betw. the ends of bones
