Review: Skeletal System

What is the periosteum?

• A dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.

• A type of muscle tissue found in the heart.

• A layer of fat that protects the bones from injury.

• A type of cartilage that connects muscles to bones.

What is cartilage?

• A type of bone tissue that provides structure and support

• A flexible connective tissue found in joints, the rib cage, and the ear.

• A type of muscle tissue responsible for movement

• A hard tissue that forms the outer layer of the skin.

What are bones primarily made of?

• Water and protein

• Minerals, mainly calcium and phosphorus

• Fat and carbohydrates

• Collagen and iron

What is a joint?

• A joint is a type of muscle in the body.

• A joint is the place where two or more bones meet.

• A joint is a type of connective tissue.

• A joint is a fluid-filled sac that cushions bones.

What is the function of the skull?

• To protect the brain and support the structures of the face.

• To produce blood cells in the body.

• To store calcium and phosphorus.

• To facilitate the movement of the jaw.

What is the function of osteoclasts?

• To build new bone tissue

• To break down bone tissue, helping in bone remodeling and calcium release

• To produce red blood cells

• To store fat in the bone marrow

What is the axial skeleton?

• The axial skeleton includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.

• The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the arms and legs.

• The axial skeleton is made up of the bones in the hands and feet.

• The axial skeleton includes the bones of the pelvis and shoulder girdle.

What is bone marrow?

• A type of muscle tissue that helps in movement.

• A soft tissue found in the center of some bones that produces blood cells.

• A hard structure that supports the body and protects organs.

• A fluid that circulates in the blood vessels.

What is the function of yellow bone marrow?

• Yellow bone marrow produces red blood cells.

• Yellow bone marrow stores fat and serves as an energy reserve.

• Yellow bone marrow helps in the formation of bones.

• Yellow bone marrow is responsible for immune responses.

What is the importance of the skeletal system in movement?

• The skeletal system protects vital organs from injury.

• The skeletal system provides a framework for muscles to attach to, allowing for movement.

• The skeletal system produces hormones that regulate metabolism.

• The skeletal system stores energy for muscle contractions.
