    • Diaphysis

    • Epiphysis

    • Metaphysis

    • Periosteum

    • Marrow

    Correct Answer
    A. Epiphysis
    Explanation
    The epiphysis is the correct answer because it is the region of a long bone that articulates with other bones. The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, which connects to other bones to form joints. It is covered with articular cartilage, which allows for smooth movement and reduces friction between bones during articulation. The epiphysis also contains red bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells.

    • Diaphysis

    • Epiphysis

    • Metaphysis

    • Periosteum

    • Marrow

    Correct Answer
    A. Diaphysis
    Explanation
    The diaphysis is the correct answer because it refers to the shaft of a long bone. The diaphysis is the long, cylindrical portion of the bone between the two ends, known as the epiphyses. It is primarily composed of compact bone tissue and contains the medullary cavity, which houses the bone marrow. The diaphysis provides support and strength to the bone, allowing for movement and weight-bearing.

    • Periosteum

    • Distal epiphysis

    • Nutrient foramen

    • Articular cartilage

    • Epiphyseal plate

    Correct Answer
    A. Articular cartilage
    Explanation
    Articular cartilage is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in a joint. It provides a smooth and lubricated surface, allowing for smooth movement and cushioning the bones during joint articulation. This cartilage helps to distribute forces evenly across the joint, protecting the underlying bone and preventing wear and tear.

  • 5. 

    This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length.

    • Periosteum

    • Distal epiphysis

    • Nutrient foramen

    • Articular cartilage

    • Epiphyseal plate

    Correct Answer
    A. Epiphyseal plate
    Explanation
    The epiphyseal plate is a layer of hyaline cartilage located at the ends of long bones. It allows for longitudinal growth of the diaphysis, or the shaft of the bone. As the bone grows, the cartilage in the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone tissue, resulting in the lengthening of the bone. This process is essential for the growth and development of bones during childhood and adolescence.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    This is the region in mature bone where the diaphysis and the epiphysis join.

    • Epiphyseal plate

    • Epiphyseal line

    • Metaphysis

    • Diaphyseal line

    • Diaphyseal plate

    Correct Answer
    A. Metaphysis
    Explanation
    The metaphysis is the correct answer because it is the region in mature bone where the diaphysis (shaft) and the epiphysis (end) join. It is a transitional zone between the two regions and is responsible for bone growth and lengthening during childhood and adolescence. The epiphyseal plate and line are also related to bone growth but are not specifically where the diaphysis and epiphysis join. The diaphyseal line and plate are not relevant to the question.

    This is a lining found in bone that promotes bone growth in width.

    • Periosteum

    • Endosteum

    • Marrow

    • Epiphysis

    • Metaphysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Periosteum
    Explanation
    The periosteum is a lining found in bone that promotes bone growth in width. It is a dense connective tissue membrane that covers the outer surface of bones, except at the joints. The periosteum contains blood vessels, nerves, and cells that are involved in bone formation and repair. It plays a crucial role in providing nutrients and oxygen to the bone cells, as well as in the healing of fractures.

    • Osteogenic, osteoblast, osteocytes

    • Osteogenic, osteocytes, osteoblast

    • Osteoblast, osteocytes, osteogenic

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Osteogenic, osteoblast, osteocytes
    Explanation
    Bone cells undergo a process of maturation, starting from unspecialized cells to specialized cells. The correct order of maturation is osteogenic, osteoblast, and osteocytes. Osteogenic cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are responsible for the synthesis and secretion of bone matrix. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are derived from osteoblasts and are embedded within the bone matrix. Therefore, the correct order of maturation from unspecialized to specialized bone cells is osteogenic, osteoblast, osteocytes.

  • 9. 

    These are considered bone-building cells.

    • Osteogenic

    • Osteoclast

    • Osteocytes

    • Osteoblasts

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Osteoblasts
    Explanation
    Osteoblasts are cells responsible for building and repairing bones. They synthesize and secrete proteins and other components that form the extracellular matrix of bone tissue. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in bone development and growth, as well as in the repair of fractures and the remodeling of bone. They are involved in the process of bone mineralization by depositing minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, onto the matrix. Therefore, osteoblasts are considered bone-building cells.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    These are considered bone-dissolving cells.

    • Osteogenic

    • Osteoclast

    • Osteocytes

    • Osteoblasts

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Osteoclast
    Explanation
    Osteoclasts are considered bone-dissolving cells. They are responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue. Osteoclasts play a crucial role in bone remodeling and maintaining bone health. They are derived from monocytes and are multinucleated cells that secrete enzymes and acids to dissolve the mineralized matrix of bone. Their activity is regulated by various factors, such as hormones and cytokines. Osteoclasts are essential for the balance between bone resorption and formation, and any disruption in their function can lead to bone diseases like osteoporosis.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Which of the following structures contains osteocytes?

    • Haversian

    • Volkmann's

    • Concentric

    • Lacunae

    • Canaliculi

    Correct Answer
    A. Lacunae
    Explanation
    Lacunae is the correct answer because it refers to small spaces or cavities within the bone matrix where osteocytes are located. Osteocytes are bone cells that are responsible for maintaining the health and integrity of the bone tissue. They are found within the lacunae and are connected to each other and to the blood supply through tiny channels called canaliculi. The Haversian and Volkmann's canals are channels in the bone that contain blood vessels and nerves, while concentric refers to the layers of bone tissue surrounding the Haversian canals.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    These are extensions of the lacunae and are filled with extracellular fluid.

    • Volkmann's canals

    • Haversian canals

    • Osteons

    • Canaliculi

    • Periosteum

    Correct Answer
    A. Canaliculi
    Explanation
    Canaliculi are small channels or canals that connect the lacunae of bone tissue. They are filled with extracellular fluid, which allows for the exchange of nutrients and waste products between osteocytes (bone cells) and the blood vessels in the Haversian canals. Canaliculi play a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of bone tissue by facilitating communication and nutrient exchange between cells.

    Rate this question:

  • 13.

    • Horizontal to the metaphysis

    • Parallel to the epiphysis

    • Lines of stress

    • Randomly between the epiphyseal plate

    • Parallel to blood vessels

    Correct Answer
    A. Lines of stress
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Lines of stress." Osteons in compact bone tissues are aligned along lines of stress to provide strength and support to the bone. This alignment helps to distribute the forces and stresses experienced by the bone during weight-bearing activities, reducing the risk of fractures or damage.

    Rate this question:

    Bone remodelling does NOT

    • Occur throughout life

    • Involve bone resorption

    • Involve bone deposition

    • Occur at different rates at different locations

    • Affect compact bone tissue but does affect spongy bone tissue

    Correct Answer
    A. Affect compact bone tissue but does affect spongy bone tissue
    Explanation
    Bone remodeling is a continuous process that occurs throughout life. It involves both bone resorption, which is the breaking down of old bone tissue, and bone deposition, which is the formation of new bone tissue. Bone remodeling also occurs at different rates at different locations in the body. While it affects both compact and spongy bone tissue, the statement suggests that it does not affect compact bone tissue but does affect spongy bone tissue.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The renewal rate for compact bone tissue is

    • 4% per year

    • 15% per year

    • 20% per year

    • 25% per year

    • 10% per year

    Correct Answer
    A. 4% per year
    Explanation
    The renewal rate for compact bone tissue is 4% per year. This means that 4% of the compact bone tissue is replaced with new tissue every year. This process of renewal helps to maintain the strength and integrity of the bone. It allows for the removal of old or damaged tissue and the formation of new tissue, ensuring that the bone remains healthy and functional.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which of the following minerals is needed when bones are growing?

    • Chlorine

    • Sulphur

    • Magnesium

    • Chlorine and sulphur

    • Chlorine, sulphur and magnesium

    Correct Answer
    A. Magnesium
    Explanation
    Magnesium is needed when bones are growing because it plays a crucial role in bone formation and maintenance. It helps in the absorption and metabolism of calcium, which is essential for bone health. Magnesium also contributes to the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure to bones. Additionally, magnesium aids in the regulation of vitamin D, which is necessary for calcium absorption. Therefore, a sufficient intake of magnesium is necessary for proper bone growth and development.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    The correct sequence of processes that occur during bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate are:

    • Calcification, resting, proliferation, hypertrophication

    • Resting, proliferation, calcification, hypertrophication

    • Proliferation, resting, hypertrophication, calcification

    • Resting, proliferation, hypertrophication, calcification

    • Hypertrophication, calcification, proliferation, resting

    Correct Answer
    A. Resting, proliferation, hypertrophication, calcification
    Explanation
    During bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate, the first step is resting. This is when the chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate are not actively dividing. The next step is proliferation, where the chondrocytes undergo rapid cell division and form stacks of cells. After proliferation, the chondrocytes undergo hypertrophication, where they enlarge and mature. Finally, calcification occurs, where the chondrocytes mineralize and form bone tissue. Therefore, the correct sequence of processes is resting, proliferation, hypertrophication, and calcification.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    During adulthood, which of the following does NOT contribute to bone remodeling and growth?

    • Calcium

    • Vitamins

    • Enzymes

    • Sex hormones

    • Human growth hormone

    Correct Answer
    A. Enzymes
    Explanation
    Enzymes do not contribute to bone remodeling and growth during adulthood. While calcium, vitamins, sex hormones, and human growth hormone all play important roles in bone health and growth, enzymes do not have a direct impact on bone remodeling. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in the body, but they are not directly involved in the processes that regulate bone growth and remodeling.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    This type of fracture is considered a partial fracture and is usally seen in children.

    • Open

    • Comminuted

    • Impacted

    • Greenstick

    • Stress

    Correct Answer
    A. Greenstick
    Explanation
    Greenstick fractures are considered partial fractures because they involve a crack or bend on one side of the bone while the other side remains intact. This type of fracture is commonly seen in children because their bones are more flexible and less brittle compared to adults. The term "greenstick" refers to the analogy of trying to break a green, flexible stick which tends to bend rather than snap completely.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    About 25% of all stress fractures involve which bone?

    • Rib

    • Clavicle

    • Humerus

    • Ulna

    • Tibia

    Correct Answer
    A. Tibia
    Explanation
    About 25% of all stress fractures involve the tibia. Stress fractures are small cracks or breaks in the bone that occur due to repetitive stress or overuse. The tibia, also known as the shinbone, is one of the most common sites for stress fractures. It is a weight-bearing bone located in the lower leg, and activities that involve repetitive impact, such as running or jumping, can put stress on the tibia and lead to fractures. Therefore, it is likely that about 25% of all stress fractures involve the tibia.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Bone reduction

    • Is the alignment of epiphyseal plates

    • Can be open or closed

    • Is followed by a period of mobilisation

    • Is the alignment of epiphyseal plates and can be open or closed

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Can be open or closed
    Explanation
    Bone reduction refers to the process of realigning fractured bones. It can be either an open reduction, where surgery is required to realign the bones, or a closed reduction, where the bones are manually manipulated back into their proper position without surgery. After bone reduction, a period of mobilization is necessary to allow for healing and restoration of normal function. Therefore, the correct answer is that bone reduction can be open or closed.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Bone mass reduction is promoted by which hormone?

    • Calcitriol

    • Calcitonin

    • Human growth hormone

    • Parathyroid

    • Insulin

    Correct Answer
    A. Parathyroid
    Explanation
    Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is responsible for promoting bone mass reduction. PTH increases the release of calcium from the bones into the bloodstream, which helps maintain the calcium balance in the body. This hormone stimulates the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue, leading to a reduction in bone mass. Therefore, the correct answer is Parathyroid.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    An increase in bone growth is promoted by which hormones?

    • Calcitriol and human growth hormone

    • Calcitonin and calcitriol

    • Human growth hormone and parathyroid

    • Parathyroid and insulin

    • Insulin and human growth hormone

    Correct Answer
    A. Calcitonin and calcitriol
    Explanation
    Calcitonin and calcitriol are the hormones that promote an increase in bone growth. Calcitonin helps to regulate calcium levels in the blood and prevents the breakdown of bone tissue. Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestines, which is essential for bone growth and remodeling. Together, these hormones work to maintain bone health and stimulate bone growth.
