Bone Tissue Trivia Questions: Quiz! - Quiz

Bone tissue is a mineralized connective tissue, which employs important functions in the body, such as support and safeguard of other tissues and mineral storage. Bone is a fragile structure depending on the different loading grades, and it depends on the mineral content that also strengthens the bone. Collagen provides the bone with elasticity. No bones about it; this quiz about bone tissue is for you.

Bone Tissue Trivia Questions: Quiz!

Bone consists of these issues:

While histology is the study of tissues, osteology is the study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders.

What are the functions of bone?

Consists of developing blood cells, adipocytes, fibroblasts, and macrophages:

The epiphyseal plate is a thin layer of cartilage covering the epiphysis*

Bone's shaft or body of a bone; the long cylindrical main portion of the bone is:

The distal or proximal ends of the bone are:

Thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone is:

The space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow in adults is the marrow cavity or the:

A thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity, contains a single layer of bone forming cells, and a small amount of connective tissue is:

Bone tissue, like other connective tissues, contains an abundant matrix of intercellular materials that surround widely separated cells. Unlike other connective tissues, the matrix of bone is very hard.

The hardness of bone results from the presence of inorganic mineral salts, mainly:

Despite its hardness, bone is also flexible, a characteristic that enables it to resist various forces. The flexibility of bone depends upon its collagen fibers. Collagen fibers compose about 50% of the weight of bone. The remaining 50% of the bone matrix is water.

The cells in bone tissue include:

Unspecialized stem cells that are derived from mesenchyme, the tissue from which almost all connective tissues are formed. They are the only bone cells to undergo cell divisions; the resulting cells develop into osteoblasts are called:

Bone building cells that synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of bone tissue, and initiate calcification are:

Mature bone cells that are the main cells in the bone tissue and maintain it's daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood are:

Depending on the size and distribution of spaces between it's hard components, the regions of a bone may be categorized as compact or spongy.

Bone tissue that contains few spaces and forms the external layer of all bones of the body and the bulk of the diaphysis of long bones is:

Compact bone tissue contains red bone marrow.*

Compact bone tissue is arranged in microscopic units called ________ or haversian systems.

Bone tissue which contains many large spaces, composes most of the bone tissue of short, flat, and irregulary shaped bones and most of the epiphysis of long bones is:

An irregular latticework of thin columns of bone that are microscopic units of spongy bone tissue:

Circular canal in the center of an osteon (haversian system) that runs longitudinally through the bone; the canal contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves is a

Rings of hard, calcified matrix are:

Small spaces between lamellae which contain osteocytes are:

Mature bone cells located within a lacuna are:

Microscopic structural units of compact bone made up of a central (haversian) canal plus it's surrounding lamellae, lacunae, canaliculi, an osteocytes are:

Canals that extend from the periosteum and contain blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves; they extend into the central (haversian) canals, medullary cavity, and periosteum are:

Intramembranous ossification refers to the formation of bone within hyaline cartilage. In this process, mesenchyme is transformed into chondroblasts which produce a hyaline cartilage matrix that is gradually replaced by bone. Most bones of the body form by this process.*

Intramembrane ossification and endochondral ossification are two kinds of ossification that do not lead to differences in the gross structure of mature bones. They are simply different methods of bone formation. Both mechanisms involve the replacement of a preexisting connective tissue with bone.

The osteoblasts are responsible for cartilage formation. Chondroblasts form bone tissue by intramembranous or endochondral ossification.*

A layer of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis of growing bone that consists of four zones is the:

The zone nearest the epiphysis that consists of small, scattered chondrocytes is the:*

The zone that consists of slightly larger chondrocytes arranged like stacks of coins are:

The zone that consists of even larger chondrocytes that are also arranged in columns is the:

The zone that is only a few cells thick and consists mostly of dead chondrocytes because the matrix around them has calcified is the:

The epiphyseal cartilage cells stop dividing and bone replaces the cartilage. The newly formed bony structure is called epiphyseal line.

A fracture is any break in a bone.

The fractured ends of a bone can be reduced (aligned to their normal positions) by manipulation without surgery. This procedure is called open reduction.

A fracture that must be exposed by surgery before the break can be rejoined is a procedure called open reduction.

Bones that have greater length than width, consist of a shaft and a variable number of extremeties (ends) are called: Examples: thigh (femur), leg (tibia and fibula), arm (humerus), forearm (radius and ulna), and finger and toe (phalanges).

Bones that are somewhat cube-shaped, nearly equal in length and width are: Examples: wrist bones and ankle bones.

Bones that are generally thin and composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bone tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue are: Example: sternum (breastbone), ribs, and scapulae (shoulder blades).

Bones that are very complex in shape; cannot be grouped into the long, short, or flat category are: Example: vertebrae, some facial bones, and calcaneus.

Bones that are shaped like a sesame seed; small bones that develop in tendons and are variable in number are: Example: paired patellae (kneecaps).

Sutural bones are small bones in suture between certain cranial bones.
