lesson 2

What is hematopoiesis?

• The process of energy storage

• The process of joint formation

• The process of bones growth

• The process of blood cell production

What is the role of the endosteum?

• To produce blood cells

• To line the hollow cavity in the diaphysis

• To provide structural support

• To store yellow marrow

What is the function of articular cartilage?

• To reduce friction between bones

• To cover the outer surface of the bone

• To produce blood cells

• To provide structura support

Where does hematopoiesis primarily occur?

• In the metaphysis

• In the bone marrow

• In the compact bone

• In the periosteum

What is the function of the periosteum?

• To provide blood cells

• To provide structural support

• To store yellow marrow

• To cover the outer surface of the bone

What is the function of the epiphyseal plate?

• To cover the ends of the bone

• To reduce friction between bones

• To allow for longitudinal bone growth

• To form joints

What is the function of yellow marrow?

• To store fat for energy

• To reduce friction between bones

• To provide structural support

• To produce blood cells

What is the function of red marrow?

• To produce blood cells

• To store energy

• To provide structural support

• To reduce friction between bones

What can disruptions in hematopoiesis lead to?

• Joint disorders

• Bone fractures

• Blood disorders

• Muscle injuries
