PLTW HBS Bones Quiz

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

• diaphysis, epiphysis, and metaphysis

• cortex, medulla, periosteum

• shaft, cap, base

• head, neck, body

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

• Digestion, respiration, circulation, excretion, reproduction

• Vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch

• Memory, learning, problem-solving, decision-making, creativity

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

Describe the bone remodeling process and its significance in maintaining bone health.

• Bone remodeling is only important for shaping the skeleton in adults

• Bone remodeling is only necessary for repairing major fractures

• Bone remodeling is essential for repairing micro-damage, maintaining mineral balance, and shaping the skeleton during growth and development.

• Bone remodeling has no impact on mineral balance

What are the different types of bone fractures and how do they occur?

• Not getting enough sleep

• Trauma such as falls, car accidents, or sports injuries

• Watching too much TV

• Eating unhealthy food

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

• The structure of long bones provides insulation and protection

• The structure of long bones provides strength, support, and flexibility.

• The structure of long bones allows for blood cell production

• The structure of long bones contributes to the sense of touch

Discuss the role of the skeletal system in mineral homeostasis.

• Producing hormones for mineral regulation

• Supporting the body's weight and movement

• Storing and releasing minerals as needed

• Transporting minerals to the digestive system

Explain the process of bone remodeling and its importance in bone repair and maintenance.

• Bone remodeling is not important for bone repair and maintenance

• Bone remodeling is important for maintaining bone strength and repairing damage by replacing old or damaged bone tissue with new, healthy bone tissue.

• Bone remodeling involves removing bone tissue and leaving it empty

• Bone remodeling is a cosmetic procedure to change the appearance of bones

What are the common causes of bone fractures and how are they treated?

• Immobilization, surgery, and physical therapy

• Medication, rest, and massage

• Amputation, bed rest, and acupuncture

• Ice, compression, and elevation

Compare and contrast the different types of bone fractures in terms of severity and treatment.

• There is only one type of bone fracture, so severity and treatment are the same for all.

• All bone fractures are equally severe and require the same treatment.

• Severity and treatment of bone fractures depend on the patient's age, not the type of fracture.

• The correct answer is to compare and contrast the severity and treatment of different types of bone fractures.

How does the skeletal system contribute to the body's support and protection?

• By providing structural support and protecting internal organs.

• By aiding in digestion

• By regulating body temperature

• By producing hormones and enzymes
