Q

Why does hematopoiesis occur in limited bones in the adult?

A

Forces

48
Q

What type of bones are found in the wrists and ankles?

A

Short bones

49
Q

What do flat bones do?

A

Act as a site for muscle attachment and protects underlying organs

50
Q

Where are flat bones found?

A

In the roof of the skull, scapulae, sternum, and ribs

51
Q

What are the functions of irregular bones?

A

Act as a site for muscle attachment and articulations

52

53
Q

What are the most common type of bone in the body?

Q

What are epiphyses?

A

The endings of long bones

57
Q

Epiphyses are composed of…?

A

An outer layer of compact bone and an inner layer of spongy bone

58
Q

What covers epiphyses?

A

Articular cartilage, a form of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction and absorbs shock

59
Q

What is the central shaft of a long bone called?

A

Diaphysis

60
Q

What is found in the middle of diaphyses?

Medullary cavity (marrow cavity)

61
Q

In adults, what is found in the medullary cavity?

A

Yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue)

65
Q

How is mitotic activity at the epiphyseal growth plate controlled?

A

By the Human Growth Hormone secreted by the Pituitary Gland

66
Q

If someone has a limb that is shorter than their other limb, what may have happened to them while they were still growing?

Osteoid (semisolid form of bone matrix)

77
Q

What do osteocytes do?

A

Maintain the bone matrix and detects mechanical stress on a bone

78
Q

What does mechanical stress do to the bone?

A

Signals are sent to osteoblasts which results in the formation of new bone matrix

79
Q

What do osteoclasts do?

A

Conduct Osteolysis, a process of breaking down bone

80
