Ch 6. Bones and Skeletal Tissues

Question 1

Made up of some variety of cartilage tissue modeled to fit its body location and function

Answer 1

Skeletal cartilage

Question 2

The type of cartilage that supports with flexibility and resilience, contains fine collagen fibers, and is the most abundant of skeletal cartilages.

Answer 2

Hyaline cartilage

Question 3

The type of cartilage that is more stretchy and can withstand repeated bending

Answer 3

Elastic cartilage

Question 4

This type of cartilage is highly compressible with great tensile strength and consists of roughly parallel rows of chondrocytes alternating with thick collagen fibers. They occur in sites that are subjected to both pressure and stretch

Answer 4

Fibrocartilage

Question 5

Cartilage-forming cells in the surrounding perichondrium secrete new matrix against the external face of the existing cartilage tissue

Answer 5

Appositional growth

Question 6

The lacunae-bound chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, expanding the cartilage from within

Answer 6

Interstitial growth

Question 7

Blood cell formation

Answer 7

Hematopoiesis

Question 8

Forms the long axis of the body and includes the bones of the skull, vertebra column, and the rib cage

Answer 8

Axial skeleton

Question 9

Consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs and the girdles that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton

Answer 9

Appendicular skeleton

Question 10

A special type of short bone that form in a tendon (ex. Patella)

Answer 10

Sesamoid bones

Question 11

Dense outer layer of bone that looks smooth and solid to the naked eye

Answer 11

Compact bone

Question 12

Internal layer of bone that is not as solid as compact bone

Answer 12

Spongy bone

Question 13

Honeycomb of small needle-like or flat pieces found in spongy bones

Answer 13

Trabeculae

Question 14

Shaft of long bone

Answer 14

Diaphysis

Question 15

The bone ends

Answer 15

Epiphyses

Question 16

A white, double-layered membrane that covers the external surface of the entire bone except the joint surfaces

Answer 16

Periosteum

Question 17

the way in which nerve fibers and blood vessels pass through the shaft to enter the marrow cavity

Answer 17

Nutrient foramen

Question 18

Tufts of collagen fibers that extend from its fibrous layer into the bone matrix that secure the periosteum to the underlying bone

Answer 18

Sharpey’s fibers

Question 19

A delicate connective tissue membrane that covers internal bone surfaces

Answer 19

Endosteum

Question 20

Hematopoietic tissue that is typically found within the trabecular cavities of spongy bone of long bones and in the diploe of flat bones

Answer 20

Red marrow
