Bone Tissue

Bone cells that are found in the endosteum and periosteum and build new bone matrix are called __________. osteoblasts osteoclasts osteogenic cells osteocytes

osteoblasts Osteoblasts perform the process of bone deposition, during which they build up the bone ECM. An easy way to remember what they do is to remember the mnemonic "osteoBlasts Build Bone."

Which type of cell is responsible for bone deposition? chondroblasts osteoblasts chondrocytes osteocytes

osteoblasts Osteoblasts are known as the "bone builders," and serve to secrete the organic matrix of bone and assist in the formation of the inorganic matrix.

If a bone is lacking collagen in its organic matrix, such as with the disease osteogenesis imperfecta, the bone would be flexible and bend and twist easily. be crystalized and add to the hardness of the bone. be brittle and shatters easily. be strong and resist torsion and forces easily.

be brittle and shatters easily If the organic matrix of bone is broken down and the inorganic matrix is left intact, the bone becomes brittle and shatters easily. Similarly, if the inorganic matrix is broken down and the organic matrix remains, the bone becomes flexible and unable to resist compression. Both components are required to maintain bone strength.

Which of the following gives bone its strength and ability to withstand compression and protect? osteocytes hydroxyapatite crystals cartilage bicarbonate ions

Hydroxyapatite crystals Hydroxyapatite crystals are made from calcium and phosphorus salts. They give bone its strength and ability to resist compression.
