Bone Tissue

Front 1

The function(s) of the skeletal system

Back 1

Storage are for calcium and lipids, involved in blood cell formation, provides structural support for the whole body

Front 2

Storage of lipids that represent an important energy reserves in bone occur in the areas of:

Back 2

Yellow marrow

Front 3

Mature bone cells found in lacunae are called:

Back 3

Osteocytes

Front 4

Gaunt multinucleated cells involved in the process of osteocytes (dissolving bone) are:

Back 4

Osteoclasts

Front 5

One of the basic histological differences between compact and spongy bone is that in the compact bone:

Back 5

The basic functional unit is the Haversian system (osteons)

Front 6

Spongy or cancellous bone, unlike compact bone, resembles a network of bony struts separated by spaces that are normally filled with:

Back 6

Red bone marrow

Front 7

Spongy bone is found primarily at the ____________ of long bones:

Back 7

End region of long bones

Front 8

Compact bone is usually found where:

Back 8

Stresses arrive from a limited range of directions

Front 9

When osteoblasts begin to create bone within connective tissue that does not form a skeletal template, the process is called:

Back 9

Intramembranous ossification

Front 10

The process during which a cartilage template of the skeleton is replaced by bone is called:

Back 10

Endochondral ossification

Front 11

The region known as the metaphysis is the area where:

Back 11

Cartilage is being replaced by bone

Front 12

The bone skeleton begins to form about _____ after fertilization, and usually does not stop growing until about age ______

Back 12

6 weeks; 25

Front 13

The process of replacing other tissues with bone is called:

Back 13

Ossification

Front 14

The condition that produces a reduction in bone mass sufficient to compromise normal function is:

Back 14

Osteoporosis

Front 15

The major effect the at exercise has on bones is:

Back 15

It serves to maintain and possibly increase bone mass

Front 16

Changing the magnitude and direction of force is generated by skeletal muscles is an illustration of the skeletal function of:

Back 16

Leverage

Front 17

When cartilage is produced at the epiphyseal side of the metaphysis at the same time rate as bone is deposited on the opposite side bones:

Back 17

Grow longer

Front 18

The major advantages for bone to undergo continual remodeling are:

Back 18

Change shape of bone, change internal structure of a bone, it may change a total amount of minerals deposited in the bones

Front 19

The fibers of tendons intermingle with those of the periosteum attaching:

Back 19

Skeletal muscles to bone

Front 20

Appositional bone growth at the outer surface results in:

Back 20

An increase in the diameter of growing bone
