In the process of osteolysis, A) the bony matrix is dissolved to release the stored minerals. B) new bone is formed. C) osteoblasts form the osteoid that is later calcified. D) fractured bones repair themselves. E) an organic framework is formed.

the body matrix is dissolved to release the stored minerals

The following are major steps in the process of endochondral ossification. 1. Blood vessels invade the perichondrium. 2. Osteoclasts create a marrow cavity. 3. Chondrocytes enlarge and calcify. 4. Osteoblasts replace calcified cartilage with spongy bone. 5. The perichondrium is converted into a periosteum and the inner layer produces bone. The correct order for these events is A) 3, 1, 4, 5, 2. B) 1, 3, 5, 4, 2. C) 1, 5, 3, 4, 2. D) 2, 3, 1, 5, 4. E) 3, 1, 5, 4, 2.

3, 1, 5, 4, 2

The following are major steps in the process of intramembranous ossification. 1. Clusters of osteoblasts form osteoid that becomes mineralized. 2. Osteoblasts cluster together to form an ossification center. 3. Small struts of bone called spicules radiate out from the ossification centers to join with neighboring spicules. 4. Osteoblasts differentiate within a connective tissue at the site of arterioles. The correct order for these events is A) 2, 1, 3, 4. B) 4, 2, 1, 3. C) 4, 1, 2, 3. D) 2, 3, 1, 4.
