Question 2

Tarsal bone classification?

Answer 2

Short bone

Question 3

Cranial bone classification?

Answer 3

Flat bone

Question 4

Vertebrae bone classification?

Answer 4

Irregular bone

Question 5

Tough sheath covering outer surface of bone?

Answer 5

Periosteum

Question 6

Covers all internal surfaces of bone within medullary cavity?

Answer 6

Endosteum

Question 7

Osteoblast function?

Answer 7

Form new bones and add growth to existing bone tissue

Question 8

Osteoclasts function?

Answer 8

Dissolve old and damaged bone tissue (so it can be replaced with new, healthier cells created by osteoblasts)

Question 9

Rigid connective bone tissue that appears white, smooth, and solid. Makes up about 80% of bone mass

Answer 9

Compact bone

Question 10

Internal to compact bone, appears porous and makes up about 20% of total bone mass

Answer 10

Spongy bone

Question 11

Semi rigid connective tissue that is more flexible than bone

Answer 11

Cartilage

Question 12

Function/location of hyaline cartilage

Answer 12

attaches ribs to sternum (costal cartilage), covers the ends of some bones (articular cartilage), and is the cartilage within growth plates (epiphyseal plates).

Question 13

Function/location of fibrocartilage

Answer 13

A weight bearing cartilage that can withstand compression. Forms the intervertebral disks, pubic symphysis, and cartilage pads of knee joints.

Question 14

Dense regular connective tissue that anchors bone to bone.

Answer 14

Ligaments

Question 15

Dense regular connective tissue that connects muscles to bone.

Answer 15

Tendons

Question 16

What is Hematopoiesis?

Answer 16

The process of blood cell production. It occurs in red bone marrow connective tissue, containing stem cells that form blood cells and platelets.

Question 17

Calcium function

Answer 17

Essential mineral for muscle contraction, blood clotting, and release of neurotransmitter from nerve cells

Question 18

Phosphate function

Answer 18

Structural component of ATP, other nucleotides and phospholipids, and important component of plasma membrane

Question 19

Diaphysis

Answer 19

Shaft of a long bone

Question 20

Medullary cavity

Answer 20

Hollow cylindrical space within the diaphysis. In children the cavity contains red bone marrow, that is replaced by yellow bone marrow in adults.

Question 21

Epiphysis

Answer 21

A expanded, knobby region at each end of a long bone. Can be proximal epiphysis or distal epiphysis.

Question 22

Articular cartliage

Answer 22

thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the joint surface of an epiphysis

Question 23

Metaphysis

Answer 23

region of a long bone where the bone widens and transfers forces between diaphysis and epiphysis

Question 24

Red bone marrow function

Answer 24

Forming blood cells in the body
