100

This is a cylindrical unit of bone that is the basic structural and functional unit of bone.

What are Osteons?

100

How are bone fractures and bone breaks related?

What is they are the same thing?

100

These are stem cells in the bone marrow that play a role in repair and growth. They are also precursors to specialized bone cells.

What are Osteogenic Cells?

100

B) bone that replaces soft spots on an infant skull
C) mandible (lower jawbone)
D) A and B are correct.
E) A, B, and C are correct.

The skeleton does all of the following EXCEPT

A) supports soft tissues
B) provides attachment points for tendons of skeletal muscles
C) encloses and protects the brain and spinal cord
D) stores minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus
E) initiates movement

100

This type of bone has a lattice-like network and is found on the ends of long bones. Does not contain osteons, instead contains trabeculae.

What is Spongy Bone?

100

This is the strongest form of bone, contains few spaces, and provides protection and support.

What is Compact Bone?

200

These are concentric rings that surround a vertically oriented blood vessel inside of an osteon.

What are Lamellae?

200

This is the third step in bone repair. Osteoblasts secrete spongy bone that joins the broken ends of bones. Takes about 3 - 4 months.

What is formation of Bony Callus?

200

These are bone cells that breaks down damaged/worn out bone material.

What are Osteoclasts?

200

What kind of cartilage makes up the articulating cartilage, epiphyseal plate and embryonic bone model?

A) Hyaline cartilage
B) Elastic cartilage
C) Fibrocartilage

B) Elastic cartilage
C) Fibrocartilage


200

What is found at the ends of long bones?

A) articular cartilage
B) epiphyses
C) metaphases
D) A and B are correct.

200

This is the anatomical name of the shaft of a long bone.

What is the Diaphysis?

200

This is the term for bone formation (bone forming by primitive connective tissue)

What is Ossification?

300

These are small spaces between lamellae and contain osteocytes

What are Lacunae?

300

This is the second step in bone repair. Fibroblasts invade the damaged area and lay down collagen fibers. Chondroblasts produce fibrocartilage to span the broken ends of bone.

What is Formation of Fibrocartilaginous Callus?

300

These are bone cells that build bone tissue by deposition of collagen fibers & mineral salts

What are Osteoblasts?

300

The area in epiphyseal plate’s zone of growth where chondrocytes are mostly dead & the matrix is removed

a. zone of resting cartilage
b. zone of proliferating cartilage
c. zone of hypertrophic cartilage
d. zone of calcified cartilage

300

Which of the following cells would be expected to be most active in replacing bone matrix lost due to an injury?

A) osteoblasts
B) osteoclasts
C) osteocytes
D) Both A and C are correct.

C) osteocytes
D) Both A and C are correct.

300

This is the anatomical name for one end of a long bone.

What is an Epiphysis?

300

These are the areas between then Diaphysis and Epiphysis and include the epiphyseal plate in growing bone

What are Metaphysis?

400

These are small canals that connect lacunae.

What are Canaliculi?

400

This is the first step in bone repair. Damaged blood vessels form a clot, inflammation cleans up the damaged area, and new capillaries grow into the damaged area. Takes about 6 - 8 hours.

What is Formation of Fracture Hematoma?

400

These are connective tissue cells that produces fibrocartilage & extracellular matrix cartilage

What are Chondroblasts/Fibroblasts?

400

The area in epiphyseal plate’s zone of growth where chondrocytes go through rapid cell division

A) zone of resting cartilage
B) zone of hypertrophic cartilage
C) zone of proliferating cartilage
D) zone of calcified cartilage

400

Compact bone

A) contains many spaces.
B) is found primarily in the epiphyses of long bones.
C) succumbs to stresses caused by weight and movement.
D) is arranged in units called osteons (Haversian systems).

400

This covers joint surfaces and acts as a friction reducer and shock absorber.

What is Articular Cartilage?

400

This is the tough membrane covering bone but not the cartilage

What is the Periosteum?

500

These are the thin columns of bone that create the porous looking structure of spongy bone.

What are Trabeculae?

500

This is the fourth step of bone repair. Compact bone replaces the spongy bone in the callus, and the surface is remodeled back to normal shape.

What is Bone Remodeling?

500

These are bone cells that maintains collagen, minerals & bone density

What are Osteocytes?

500

Place the events of endochondral ossification in the order in which they occur.

  1. primary ossification center development

  2. cartilage model development

  3. cartilage model growth

  4. articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate formation

  5. secondary ossification center development

A) 2, 3, 1, 5, 4

B) 2, 3, 5, 4, 1

500

This is the lining of bone marrow cavity
