Which of the following statements is true? >After 21, most people will not experience longitudinal growth of bones. >PTH will increase calcium deposits in the bone matrix. >Increasing levels of calcium in the blood will trigger calcium deposition in the bone. >By 21, the width of the bones stops changing.
>After 21, most people will not experience longitudinal growth of bones. This is correct. By 21, most people have experienced the process that seals the epiphyseal plates.
In which of the labeled parts of the adult long bone would hematopoietic tissue be located? (Refer to Image 1) >A >B >C >D >E
>B. Hematopoietic tissue is found in the spaces within the red bone marrow found within certain body locations consisting of spongy bone. Examples include the diploe of flat bones and the proximal epiphyses of the femur and humerus (pictured).
Which of the labeled parts of the bone is composed primarily of compact bone? (Refer to Image 1) >A >B >C >D >E
>D.
Which of the following statements is true? >Endochondral ossification occurs within fibrous connective tissue membranes. >Endochondral ossification converts hyaline cartilage "bone" models into true bones (i.e., hyaline cartilage serves as a template for bone formation). >Most bones in the body are formed by intramembranous ossification. >Endochondral ossification leads to the formation of the clavicles and cranial bones.
>Endochondral ossification converts hyaline cartilage "bone" models into true bones (i.e., hyaline cartilage serves as a template for bone formation). Endochondral ossification is the formation of bone within hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartilage "bones" are used as templates for the formation of true bone. Most bones below the base of the skull form by endochondral ossification.
__________ bones are generally thin and have a layer of spongy bone between two layers of compact bone. >Long >Flat >Irregular >Short
>Flat.
During infancy and childhood, the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity is __________. >estrogen >testosterone >growth hormone >thyroid hormones
>Growth Hormone. During infancy and childhood, the single most important stimulus for bone growth is growth hormone. It directly stimulates growth of the hyaline cartilage that forms the epiphyseal plates in long bones, causing the bones to lengthen.
Which of the following most directly controls bone remodeling? >the nervous system and hormones >hormones and diet >mechanical stress and hormones >mechanical stress and diet
>Mechanical stress and Hormones. Remodeling goes on continuously in the skeleton, regulated by genetic factors and two control loops that serve different "masters." One is a negative feedback hormonal loop that maintains Ca2+ homeostasis in the blood; the other involves responses to mechanical and gravitational forces acting on the skeleton.
Which description of bone cells is INCORRECT? >Osteoclasts secrete digestive enzymes and hydrogen ions. >Bone lining cells on the internal surfaces of bone are also called endosteal cells. >Osteoblasts secrete collagen and calcium-binding proteins. >Osteogenic cells can differentiate into osteoclasts.
>Osteogenic cells can differentiate into osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are derived from the same hematopoietic stem cells that differentiate into macrophages; they are not derived from osteogenic cells. Osteogenic cells can differentiate into osteoblasts.
In addition to supporting and protecting the body, the skeleton provides this function as well. >Its muscles provide movement. >The bones store fat, red marrow, and calcium. >Its cartilages produce blood.
>The bones store fat, red marrow, and calcium.
Which statement is NOT true about the osteon? >The osteon is not brittle because of the organic collagen in the matrix. >The more osteons in a bone, the stronger the bone is. >The osteon absorbs stress in all directions equally. >Strength of the osteon comes from the inorganic salts secreted into the bone matrix.
>The osteon absorbs stress in all directions equally. This is not a true statement. In fact, the reason that bones break is because a stress is placed on the osteons at an angle opposite to the direction that the osteons run.
Which of the following statements is true regarding the future actions of the vessels in the medullary cavity and the vessels in the epiphyses of the bone? >They will grow and encourage bone formation until the epiphyseal plate eventually ossifies. >They will eventually degrade and die, leaving the bone with little or no blood supply. >They will grow and encourage bone formation until all cartilage in the bone is ossified. >They will grow to a certain size and then maintain all of the cartilage seen in the figure.
>They will grow and encourage bone formation until the epiphyseal plate eventually ossifies. The loss of the epiphyseal plate will seal the epiphysis and diaphysis and eventually end the lengthening of the bone.
The main role of the axial skeleton is to protect and support vital organs. Is this statement true or false? >True >False
>True. The main role of the appendicular skeleton involves locomotion; it also allows us to manipulate our environment. The axial skeleton is mostly involved in supporting other body parts and protecting vital organs.
The collagen in the osteoid bone matrix makes the overall bone matrix stronger by allowing flexibility. Is this statement true or false? >True >False
>True. The matrix is one-third organic osteoid. This portion includes a large amount of collagen that allows the bone to stretch and absorb shock without being too brittle.
Which of the following diseases would most likely be associated with a disorder at A? (Refer to Image 2) >osteosarcoma >osteomalacia >achondroplasia >osteoarthritis
>achondroplasia. This genetic disease can lead to shortening of the long bones due to premature closure of the epiphyseal plate.
What would be the physical sign that a bone CANNOT continue longitudinal growth? >the presence of hyaline cartilage on the ends of the bone >the presence of osteons >the presence of osteoblasts >an epiphyseal line
>an epiphyseal line. The epiphyseal plate is a zone of hyaline cartilage between the epiphysis and diaphysis of a long bone. When the cartilage is replaced with bone and the plate closes, the bone has reached its maximum length. This is called the epiphyseal line.
During bone growth, which significant event occurs at the surface indicated by the letter C? (Refer to image 2) >bone resorption >expansion of the articular cartilage >conversion of spongy bone to compact bone >appositional growth
>appositional growth. Growth in width involves the adding of layers of lamellar (compact) bone along the bone's outer surface. This process of growth by "layering" is termed appositional growth and is distinct from growth by expansion of the interior matrix (interstitial growth).
Bones of the skeleton are connected at junctions called ________. >articulations >associations >appendiculars >axials
>articulations
Which structure is seen at the arrow? >periosteal bud >bone collar >diaphysis >epiphyseal plate

The area where blood vessels are penetrating the center of the bone used to be occupied by which tissue? (Refer to Image 4) >hyaline cartilage >fibrocartilage >adipose tissue >dense connective tissue
>hyaline cartilage. In this type of ossification, the bone is first modeled from cartilage and then replaced by bone as blood vessels invade the model.
The structure indicated by the arrow is composed primarily of what tissue? >mesenchyme >hyaline cartilage >dense connective tissue >fibrocartilage
>hyaline cartilage. The cartilage models used to form bones are composed of hyaline cartilage. This tissue persists within the epiphyseal plate at the boundary between primary and secondary ossification centers until early adulthood.
There are several components to a functional osteon. Changes to which of the following components would make the bones less strong overall and cause the bones to bend under a person's body weight? >periosteum >articular cartilage >hydroxyapatite >osteoid
>hydroxyapatite. The hydroxyapatite is the rigid portion of the bone matrix. As hydroxyapatite is removed from the bone, more of the body's weight would be transferred to the collagen of the osteoid, which would bend under the weight.
Vertebrae belong to this category of bones. >short >irregular >long >flat
