Between the frontal and parietal bones.

What type of cartilage is found in the intervertebral disks?

Autoimmune disease

Rheumatoid arthritis

The purpose of intervertebral disks is to:

Act as shock absorbers cushioning the vertebrae

The epiphyses of long bones are covered by:

Articular cartilage

-Osteomalacia -Rickets -Osteoporosis

How many thoracic vertebrae are in the spinal column?

12

Which statement best describes a long bone?

A bone that is longer than it is wide and has clubby ends.

Which statement best describes a short bone?

A bone that is not longer than it is wide

Chondrocytes

A chondrocyte in articular cartilage has its wastes removed by synovial fluid.

What is the function of the vertebral foramen?

An opening that allows the spinal cord to pass through the vertebrae

What is the relationship between bone deposition and bone reabsorption in people 45 and older?

Deposition < Reabsorption.

What types of cartilage is found in the pinna of the ear and in the epiglottis of the throat?

Elastic cartilage

Which type of ossification is complete when the epiphyseal plates are completely closed?

Endochondral

How do you compare endochondral bone growth and appositional bone growth?

Endochondral bone growth deposits bone at the epiphyseal plate, allowing the bone to grow longer. Appositional bone growth occurs in all types of bone and allows bone to become more massive.
