Muscle and Bone Quiz

What is the process by which bones are constantly broken down and rebuilt called?

• Ossification

• Bone remodeling

• Calcification

• Hematopoiesis

Which bone cell type is responsible for breaking down bone tissue during remodeling?

• Osteoblasts

• Osteocytes

• Osteoclasts

• Chondrocytes

What is the role of the Haversian canal in compact bone?

• It stores fat.

• It supplies blood vessels and nerves to bone tissue.

• It produces red blood cells.

• It helps bone resist compression.

Which type of bone cell is responsible for building and forming new bone tissue?

• Osteoclasts

• Chondrocytes

• Osteoblasts

• Fibroblasts

Which of the following correctly describes endochondral ossification?

• Bone develops directly from a fibrous membrane.

• Bone develops by replacing cartilage.

• Bone develops only in long bones.

• Bone develops through blood vessels alone.

How does bone tissue contribute to homeostasis in the body?

• By storing water for cellular hydration

• By storing and releasing calcium and phosphate as needed

• By acting as the main site of energy production

• By creating white blood cells only

Which of the following occurs in the epiphyseal plate during bone growth?

• Osteoclasts dissolve old bone tissue.

• Chondrocytes produce cartilage, which is then replaced by bone tissue.

• Osteoblasts directly convert cartilage into bone.

• Bones stop growing after adolescence.

The concentric layers of bone tissue that surround the Haversian canal are called:

• Trabeculae

• Osteons

• Lamellae

• Canaliculi

In what way is spongy bone different from compact bone?

• Spongy bone contains osteons, while compact bone does not.

• Spongy bone contains trabeculae instead of osteons.

• Spongy bone is harder than compact bone.

• Spongy bone is found only in long bones.

Which bone cells are primarily responsible for maintaining healthy bone structure and communication between other bone cells?

• Osteocytes

• Osteoclasts

• Osteoblasts

• Fibroblasts
