How many bones are in the human body?

206

100

What kind of cell can an osteoblast turn into?

Osteocyte

100

How are bones created?

Through Ossification

100

What osteo cell is responsible for bone deposition?

Osteoblasts

100

What causes bone fractures when you are young?

Trauma

200

What does the word "osteo" mean?

Bone

200

What kind of cell do Osteoprogenitor cells most often times turn into?

Osteoblast

200

Why do bones thicken (get wider)?

In response to increased mechanical stress or weight gain. 

200

What osteo cell is responsible for bone resorption?

Ostoeclasts

200

What causes bone fractures when you are older ~<45?

Weakness of bone due to thinning

300

What does the human skeleton start off as initially?

Cartilage

300

What kind of Osteo Cell can an Osteoprogenitor cell turn into? 

Any other osteo cell. 

300

How do bones grow in width?

Through appositional growth

300

What are the two parts to Bone Remodeling?

Bone Deposition and Bone Resorption

300

What is unique about the skull?

Only area where all bones are fused together. 

400

What are the four general types of bone shapes?

Long, Short, Flat, Irregular

400

800 point question:

What are the organic and inorganic parts of the bones?

Organic: Osteo cells

Inorganic: Mineral salts ~ hydroxyapatites. 

400

How do bones grow in Length?

Through interstitial growth

400

What is Wolf's Law?

Bones grow or remodel in response to demands placed on them. 

400

Where does bone lengthening occur on the bone?

On the epiphyseal line/plate

500

What is the difference in Red and Yellow Bone Marrow? 

Red bone marrow is found in spongy bone and produces blood cells. 

Yellow bone marrow is found in the medullary cavity and is responsible for fat storage. 

500

Have a member of your team come up to the board and draw any long bone and label the diaphysis, both epiphyses, the epiphyseal line, medullary cavity, spongy bone, and compact bone.

Put the five steps to ossification in order from one to five:

_____ Periosteal bud invades cavities, leading to formation of spongy bone

_____ Epiphyses ossify

_____ Bone collar forms around diaphysis (shaft) of cartilage model

_____ Diaphysis elongates, and medullary cavity forms

_____ Central cartilage in diaphysis calcifies, then develops cavities


1. Bone collar forms around diaphysis (shaft) of cartilage model

2. Central cartilage in diaphysis calcifies, then develops cavities

3. Periosteal bud invades cavities, leading to formation of spongy bone

4. Diaphysis elongates, and medullary cavity forms

5. Epiphyses ossify

500

What are two things that can be explained by Wolf's Law? 

Handedness (right- or left-handed) results in thicker and stronger bone of the corresponding upper limb

Curved bones are thickest where most likely to buckle

Trabeculae form trusses along lines of stress

Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach

Bones of fetus and bedridden people are featureless because of lack of stress on bones

500

What zone does the majority of bone lengthening occur at? 


Proliferation zone.
