Answer 2

Structure/support
Protection 
Assists with movement 
Mineral storage
Production of blood cells
Storage of energy

Question 3

Answer 3

Calcium phosphorus

Question 4

Marrow that is important storage for energy reserve

Answer 4

Yellow bone marrow

Question 5

Components of the skeletal system

Answer 5

Cartilage
Ligaments
Joints
Bones

Question 6

Cartilage

Answer 6

Flexible, strong connective tissue made up of collagen elastin and ground substance

Question 7

Ligaments

Answer 7

Fibrous connective tissue that connects bone to bone

Question 8

Joint

Answer 8

Made up of cartilage and ligaments, the connection place between bones where movement occurs

Question 9

Bone

Answer 9

Hard and rigid form of connective tissue that makes up most the skeleton

Question 10

The formation of bone tissue

Answer 10

Ossification

Question 11

Bone cells

Answer 11

Osteoprogenitor
Osteoblast
Osteocyte
Osteoclast

Question 12

Osteoprogenitor

Answer 12

An immature bone cell that will develop into an osteoblast.

Immature unspecialized cell.

Question 13

Osteoblast

Answer 13

Bone cells that build\makeup new bone tissue

Question 14

Osteocyte

Answer 14

Mature bone cell

That is responsible for regulating the amount of calcium that is found within the bone tissue.

Question 15

Osteoclast

Answer 15

The bone cells that break down and clean up mature or damaged bone tissue.

Question 16

Types of bone tissue

Answer 16

Compact

Spongy

Question 17

Compact bone

Answer 17

Also known as cortical bone

Hard dense, found on the outer portions of the bone.

Made up of primarily calcium and phosphorous.

Question 18

Spongy bone

Answer 18

Also known as bone marrow

2 types
Red marrow
Yellow bone marrow

Question 19

Red bone marrow

Answer 19

Located at the ends of long bones in adults

Produces
Leukocytes- white blood cells
Erythrocytes- red blood cells
Thrombocytes- platlets

Question 20

Yellow bone marrow

Answer 20

Located in small bones and in the center of long bones in adults

Made up of lipids, location in the bone where energy can be stored.

Question 21

Red bs yellow

Answer 21

As we age the red marrow starts to disappear and the yellow marrow
Starts to take over

Question 22

Shape and categories of bone

Answer 22

Long 
Short 
Flat
Irregular
Sesamoid
Sutural

Question 23

Long bone

Answer 23

A bone that is longer than it is wide

Ex humerus, femur

Question 24

Short bone

Answer 24

A bone that is cube shaped. The length is similar to its width depth diameter
Ex: carpals, tarsals

Question 25

Flat bones

Answer 25

Flat and thin, large surface. Allows for multiple locations for muscles to attach.
Ex: scapula, pelvis

Question 26

Irregular bones

Answer 26

Individually unique shape that is created in order to perform a specific function

Ex: vertebrae
Sacrum
Mandible

Question 27

Sesamoid bone

Answer 27

Bones that are found within the tendon

Ex: patella
Pisiform

Question 28

Sutural bones

Answer 28

These bones have been fused together by sutural joints which allow little to no movement

Ex: skull

Question 29

Structure of a long bone

Answer 29

Diaphysis
Epiphysis
Articulate cartilage 
Medullary cavity
Endosteum
Periosteum

Question 30

Diaphysis

Answer 30

Shaft of the long bone

Question 31

Epiphysis

Answer 31

Ends of the long bone

Question 32

Articular cartilage

Answer 32

Layer of cartilage found at the ends of the bone. Covers the epiphysis, reduces friction between bones.

Question 33

Medullary cavity

Answer 33

Location where spongy bone is found within a long bone

Question 34

Endosteum

Answer 34

Fascial membrane that separates that separates the medullary cavity and the compact bone

Question 35

Periosteum

Answer 35

The fascial membrane that covers the outside of compact bone. Covering
