Question 8

What shape of bone is the patella

Answer 8

Sesamoid Bone

Question 9

Shaft of long bones

Answer 9

Diaphysis

Question 10

The ends of long bones and contains cancellous bone (spongy) Also where red marrow is stored

Answer 10

Epiphysis

Question 11

Epiphyseal Plate

Answer 11

Growth plate that’s present in the epiphysis of long bones. It’s a cartilage layer that’s eventually replaced by bone

Question 12

Thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the articular or joint surfaces of epiphysis

Answer 12

Articular Cartilage

Question 13

Periosteum

Answer 13

Dense, White fibrous membrane that covers bone except at joint surfaces. Contains bone forming and destroying cells for initial growth and repair.

Question 14

Medullary Cavity

Answer 14

The tubelike hollow space in the diaphysis of a long bone. Contains yellow marrow

Question 15

Endosteum

Answer 15

A thin fibrous membrane that lines the medullary cavity. Contains various types of bone cells

Question 16

What kind of tissue is osseous tissue

Answer 16

Bone tissue (a type of connective tissue)

Question 17

Osteoblasts

Answer 17

Build up bone, synthesize and release osteoids to build bone

Question 18

Osteoclasts

Answer 18

Break down bone

Question 19

Osteocytes

Answer 19

mature osteoblasts that have become trapped in a matrix. They’re bone cells

Question 20

Myeloid Tissue

Answer 20

Bone Marrow

Question 21

What does red bone marrow produce

Answer 21

Red blood cells

Question 22

Which hormone increases blood Calcium levels and decrease bone calcium levels

Answer 22

Parathyroid Hormone

Question 23

Which hormone decreases blood calcium levels and increases bone calcium levels

Answer 23

Calcitonin (thyroid gland)

Question 24

What is Endochondral Ossification

Answer 24

Bone formation by cartilage

Question 25

What is intramembranous Ossification

Answer 25

The formation of bone from within a fibrous membrane (a few flat bones form this way)

Question 26

First stage of fracture healing

Answer 26

The formation of a fracture hematoma

Question 27

2nd stage of bone healing

Answer 27

Internal and external bony callus forms: The hematoma organizes and develops a fibrin mesh and transforms into a soft mass of granulation tissue (inflammation) and new capillaries form

Question 28

Most abundant and common type of cartilage

Answer 28

Hyaline Cartilage

Question 29

What kind on cartilage covers articular surfaces, costal cartilage, and forms the cartilage rings in the trachea, bronchi of the lungs and tip of the nose

Answer 29

Hyaline Cartilage

What type of cartilage forms the external ear, epiglottis, eustachian tube, auditory tubes and the tubes that connect the middle ear and the nasal cavity

Answer 30

Elastic Cartilage

Question 31

What type of cartilage is found in the pubic symphysis, in intervertebral disks, and near points of attachment of tendons to bones.

Answer 31

Fibrocartilage

Question 32

Osteosarcoma

Answer 32

malignant tumor of skeletal tissue

Question 33

Chondrosarcoma

Answer 33

Malignant tumor of hyaline cartilage

Question 34

Osteoporosis

Answer 34

Increased bone porosity

Question 35

Rickets

Answer 35

Demineralization of bones in children (bowing legs)

Question 36

Osteomalacia

Answer 36

Demineralization of bones in adults

Question 37

Paget Disease (Osteitis deformans)

Answer 37

Affects older adults and is characterized by rapid bone remodeling

Question 38

Osteomyelitis

Answer 38

Bacterial infection of bone and marrow tissue (staphylococcus bacteria is the most common pathogen)
