Module 2
Osseous Tissue and Bone Structure
1
Bone Classification by Shape
Classify bones by shape (long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid) and provide an example of each.
2
Bone Markings: An Introduction
Identify and define common bone markings used to describe skeletal anatomy (e.g., process, fossa, foramen).

Compact Bone Microstructure
Describe the microscopic structure of compact bone, including the osteon, lamellae, lacunae, and canaliculi.
4
Spongy vs. Compact Bone: Structure and Function
Compare the microscopic structure and function of spongy bone with that of compact bone.
5
Bone Cell Functions
Describe the functions of the four major bone cell types: osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts.
6
Intramembranous vs. Endochondral Ossification
Compare the processes of intramembranous and endochondral ossification.
7
Bone Remodeling: Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts in Action
Describe the process of bone remodeling, including the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
8
