Skeletal System Anatomy pt 1

What are the main components of the structure of long bones?

• Femur, tibia, fibula, patella

• Diaphysis, epiphysis, articular cartilage, periosteum, and medullary cavity

• Cranium, humerus, radius, ulna

• Ligaments, tendons, muscles, blood vessels

Explain the functions of the skeletal system in the human body.

• Support, protection, movement, blood cell production, mineral storage

• Reproduction, excretion, metabolism

• Vision, hearing, taste

• Digestion, respiration, circulation

How does the structure of long bones contribute to their function?

• Long bones have a hollow structure filled with air for buoyancy

• The structure of long bones provides strength and support while allowing for movement.

• Long bones are made of soft, flexible material that provides no support

• The structure of long bones is purely decorative and serves no function

What are the different types of bone cells involved in the bone remodeling process?

• fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes

• red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

• neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes

• osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes

Explain the process of bone resorption and formation during bone remodeling.

• Osteocytes break down old bone tissue and osteoclasts form new bone tissue.

• Osteoclasts break down old bone tissue and osteoblasts form new bone tissue.

• Osteoclasts form new bone tissue and osteoblasts break down old bone tissue.

• Osteoblasts break down old bone tissue and osteoclasts form new bone tissue.

What is the primary function of bone marrow in the skeletal system?

• Producing red and white blood cells

• Storing excess water

• Generating electrical impulses

• Providing structural support

An Osteocyte:

• is a mature osteoclasts.

• is a mature osteoblast.

• is mature cartiledge.

• Hematoma

Osteoclasts purpose is to:

• create new osteocytes.

• make up most of the bone structure

• produce new bone.

• break down bone.

Osteoblasts purpose is to:

• create new osteocytes.

• make up most of the bone structure

• produce new bone.

• break down bone.

• Proximal Epiphysis

• Diaphysis

• Distal Epiphysis
