Mesenchymal cells that are important in the repair of a fracture (Osteogenic, or osteoprogenitor cells, are mesenchymal cells present in small numbers; these stem cells divide to produce daughter cells that differentiate into osteoblasts, and they are thus important in the repair of a fracture (a break or a crack in a bone).
Which of the following is not a function of the skeletal system? ANSWER Mineral absorption Leverage Calcium storage Blood cell production
Mineral Absorption (The skeletal system stores minerals, but does not absorb minerals. Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are produced in the red marrow, which fills the internal cavities of many bones. Many bones of the skeleton function as levers that can change the magnitude and direction of the forces generated by skeletal muscles, making leverage an important function. The calcium salts of bone represent a valuable mineral reserve that maintains normal concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions in body fluids. More than 98 percent of the body's calcium is deposited in the bones of the skeleton.)
