Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 21RQ
Why are osteocytes spread out in bone tissue?
- They develop from mesenchymal cells.
- They are surrounded by osteoid.
- They travel through the capillaries.
- Formation of osteoid spreads out the osteoblasts that fanned the ossification centers.

Which of the following best describes creation of new bone?
Osteoblasts produce osteoclasts which ultimately becomes new bone
Osteocytes differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells, which through help of osteocytes, becomes new bone
Endosteum becomes yellow bone marrow, which ossifies into osteocytes
Osteoprogenitor daughter cells differentiate into osteoblasts, creating osteocytes, forming new bone
The compact bone of the diaphysis is so compact that is not easily penetrated. How do you think will osteocytes send signals to one another? It is through the _________?
Some bacteria are able to pass through the extracellular matrix (ECM) easily because they have this that digest the substance that binds cells together, lubricates joints, and helps maintain the shape of the eyeballs
The osteocytes of the bone is housed by a space inside the bones; the chondrocytes of the cartilage are located inside a space within the cartilage tissue. What do you call that space?
