question
For a person who starts running for exercise, __________. (compression)

question
list the steps of endochondral ossification
answer
1. Perichondrium is invaded by blood vessels. 2. Perichondrial cells differentiate into osteogenic cells then into osteoblasts. 3. Osteoblasts build the bone collar on the external surface of the bone. 4. Chondrocytes die. 5. In the primary ossification center, osteoblasts replace calcified cartilage with early spongy bone.

answer
infants
question

answer
Hyaline cartilage
question
vertebra is an example of what type of bone?
vertebra is an example of what type of bone?
answer
Irregular bone have an irregular shape.
question
The skeletal system is important for
answer
mineral storage and acid-base homeostasis
question
Bones located within tendons, such as the patella, are called __________.
answer
Sesamoid bones are generally small, relatively flat, and oval-shaped. They give the tendon a mechanical advantage, providing better leverage for muscles, and also reduce wear and tear on the tendon.
question
What is the function of red bone marrow?
answer
Hematopoiesis, or blood cell formation, happens inside red bone marrow.
question
The term diploë refers to the:
answer
internal layer of spongy bone in flat bones.
question
The function of yellow bone marrow is:
answer
triglyceride storage.
question
The ribs and sternum are classified as flat bones because they are thin and broad.
answer
true
question
______________ are surrounded by bone matrix in a small cavity known as a lacuna.
answer
Osteocytes
question
_____________ are responsible for bone resorption, during which they break down the bone ECM.
answer
Osteoclasts
question
_____________ are small, branching
_____________ are small, branching "ribs" of bone found in spongy bone.
answer
Trabeculae
question

question
The major organic component of bone extracellular matrix is __________.
answer
The predominant protein fiber in osteoid is collagen.
question
Bone cells that are found in the endosteum and periosteum and build bone are called __________.
answer
Osteoblasts perform the process of bone deposition, during which they build up the bone ECM. An easy way to remember what they do is to remember the mnemonic "osteoBlasts Build Bone."
question
Cells that develop into osteoblasts are:
answer
osteogenic cells.
question
intramembranous ossification
answer
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts
question
endochondral ossification
answer
chondroblasts differentiate into osteoblasts
question
Flat bones such as the bones of the skull form via __________.
answer
During intramembranous ossification, embryonic connective tissue called mesenchyme is replaced with bone.
question
In the epiphyseal plate, cartilage grows:
In the epiphyseal plate, cartilage grows:
answer
by pushing the epiphysis away from the diaphysis.
question
Predict the effect of growth hormone deficiency during childhood.
answer
A deficiency in growth hormone causes stunted or even halted growth. Children with this disorder are affected by dwarfism, grow slowly, and have puberty that may be delayed by several years or even indefinitely.
question
Appositional growth allows bones to grow in width. In actively growing bones, appositional growth is primarily responsible for thickening the compact bone of the ______________.
Appositional growth allows bones to grow in width. In actively growing bones, appositional growth is primarily responsible for thickening the compact bone of the ______________.
answer
diaphysis
question
What are the hormones involved in bone growth?
answer
- growth hormone, length (longitudinal) - testosterone, width (appositional growth) - estrogen, width, promotes closure
question
PTH is a hormone involved in calcium homeostasis. It causes bone resorption, when it senses that Ca in the blood is to low.
answer
sensor: parathyroid --> control center: parathyroid --> releases: parathyroid hormone when amt of Ca+ in the blood is too low, breaks bone down to release into blood stream by activating --> osteoclasts
question
calcitonin
answer
sensor: thyroid --> control center: thyroid --> releases calcitonin --> effector/ response: osteoblasts. when Ca+ in the blood is too high, calcitonin is released to signal osteoblasts to start putting Ca+ back into bone (building new bone)
question
What hormones are important for bone remodeling and calcium ion homeostasis?
answer
- Vitamin D (actually functions as a hormone!) - Parathyroid Hormone PTH (when Ca+ in blood low, osteoclasts) - Calcitonin (takes Ca+ from blood, adds to bone, osteoblasts)

answer
ossification of the zone of proliferation
question

answer
epiphyseal lines are matured epiphyseal/ growth plates and will no longer grow. OR The epiphyseal plates have ossified and further growth in length is not possible.
question

answer
circumferential lamellae. page 191
question
effects of growth hormone on bones
answer
- directly stimulates osteoblasts in the periosteum to promote appositional growth. - increases the rate of mitosis in the epiphyseal plate of growing bones. - increases the activity of osteogenic cells.
question
As a result of the increase of testosterone at puberty for males:

appositional bone growth increases. (width)
question
an effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH)?
answer
It stimulates the intestines to absorb calcium. This causes an increase in blood calcium to restore homeostasis.
question
The hormone calcitonin causes an increase in __________.
answer
Calcitonin causes a decrease in osteoclast activity and an increase in bone deposition, so excess calcium is removed from blood and deposited in bones.
