- E.
Affect compact bone tissue but does affect spongy bone tissue
Correct Answer
E. Affect compact bone tissue but does affect spongy bone tissueExplanation
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. This process helps to maintain bone strength and repair microdamage. Additionally, bone remodeling occurs at different rates at different locations in the body, depending on the mechanical stresses placed on the bones. While both compact and spongy bone tissues are affected by bone remodeling, the statement suggests that it does not affect compact bone tissue but does affect spongy bone tissue, which is incorrect.Rate this question:

Which of the following minerals is needed when bones are growing?
- A.
Chlorine
- B.
Sulphur
- C.
Magnesium
- D.
Chlorine and sulphur
- E.

Correct Answer
C. MagnesiumExplanation
Magnesium is needed when bones are growing because it plays a crucial role in bone development and maintenance. It is an essential mineral that helps in the absorption of calcium and vitamin D, which are both important for bone health. Magnesium also stimulates the production of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for building new bone tissue. Without sufficient magnesium, the body may struggle to properly utilize calcium and vitamin D, leading to weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures. Therefore, magnesium is necessary for optimal bone growth and strength.Rate this question:

The correct sequence of processes that occur during bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate are:
- A.
Calcification, resting, proliferation, hypertrophication
- B.
Resting, proliferation, calcification, hypertrophication
- C.
Proliferation, resting, hypertrophication, calcification
- D.
Resting, proliferation, hypertrophication, calcification
- E.
Hypertrophication, calcification, proliferation, resting
Correct Answer
D. Resting, proliferation, hypertrophication, calcificationExplanation
During bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate, the first step is resting, where the cells in the epiphyseal plate are inactive. This is followed by proliferation, where the chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate undergo rapid cell division. The next step is hypertrophication, where the chondrocytes enlarge and mature. Finally, calcification occurs, where the chondrocytes mineralize and the cartilage hardens into bone. Therefore, the correct sequence of processes is resting, proliferation, hypertrophication, and calcification.Rate this question:

This type of fracture is considered a partial fracture and is usally seen in children.
- A.
Open
- B.
Comminuted
- C.
Impacted
- D.
Greenstick
- E.
Stress
Correct Answer
D. GreenstickExplanation
Greenstick fractures are commonly seen in children because their bones are still developing and more flexible compared to adults. In a greenstick fracture, the bone bends and partially breaks, rather than completely fracturing. This type of fracture is considered a partial fracture because it does not extend completely through the bone. The term "greenstick" is derived from the analogy of trying to break a young, green tree branch, where it bends and splinters but does not completely snap.Rate this question:
-

Tibia
Correct Answer
E. TibiaExplanation
About 25% of all stress fractures involve the tibia. Stress fractures are small cracks or breaks in the bone that are caused by repetitive stress or overuse. The tibia, also known as the shinbone, is one of the most commonly affected bones because it bears a significant amount of weight and is involved in activities such as running and jumping. These fractures often occur in athletes or individuals who engage in high-impact activities. Proper diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent further damage and promote healing.Rate this question:

- D.
Is the alignment of epiphyseal plates and can be open or closed
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Can be open or closedExplanation
The correct answer is "Can be open or closed." Bone reduction refers to the realignment of fractured bones. This process can involve the alignment of epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth in children. Epiphyseal plates can be either open (still growing) or closed (no longer growing). After bone reduction, a period of mobilization is necessary to allow the bone to heal properly. Therefore, all of the options mentioned in the question are correct.Rate this question:

- E.
Insulin
Correct Answer
D. ParathyroidExplanation
Parathyroid hormone promotes bone mass reduction by increasing the release of calcium from the bones into the bloodstream. This hormone acts to maintain the balance of calcium in the body by stimulating the breakdown of bone tissue, which releases calcium ions into the bloodstream. This increase in calcium levels helps to regulate calcium homeostasis in the body.Rate this question:
-
- 23.
An increase in bone growth is promoted by which hormones?
- A.
Calcitriol and human growth hormone
- B.
Calcitonin and calcitriol
- C.
Human growth hormone and parathyroid
- D.
Parathyroid and insulin
- E.
Insulin and human growth hormone
Correct Answer
B. Calcitonin and calcitriolExplanation
Calcitonin and calcitriol are the hormones that promote an increase in bone growth. Calcitonin helps to regulate calcium levels in the blood by inhibiting bone breakdown and increasing calcium excretion by the kidneys. Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, helps to increase the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestines, which is essential for bone growth and development. Therefore, the combination of calcitonin and calcitriol promotes bone growth by regulating calcium levels and enhancing calcium absorption.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Fracture haematoma formation - fibrocartilaginous callus formation - bony callus formation - bone remodelingExplanation
The correct answer is "Fracture haematoma formation - fibrocartilaginous callus formation - bony callus formation - bone remodeling". This sequence accurately describes the process of bone healing after a fracture. Initially, a fracture hematoma forms, which is a blood clot at the site of the fracture. This is followed by the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, which is a soft tissue mass that stabilizes the fracture. Next, the fibrocartilaginous callus is replaced by a bony callus, which is made up of woven bone. Finally, bone remodeling occurs, where the bony callus is gradually reshaped and strengthened to restore the bone's original structure and strength.Rate this question:
