There is a membrane that surrounds the outer covering of bones. This membrane consists of special cells called osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteoprogenitor cells. What is the name of the membrane?
articular cartilage
endosteum
periosteum
When a bone is injured, the __________ cells from the periosteum will repair the bone or rebuild the bone.
osteoblast
osteoclast
osteocytes
The long bones of our body, such as the humerus and femur, are made of compact bone, periosteum, and endosteum. Which of the following represents those bone components in proper sequence going from internal to external?
endosteum, compact bone, and periosteum
endosteum, periosteum, compact bone
periosteum, compact bone, periosteum
When a bone is broken, it must repair itself. The broken bone stimulates osteoblast cells to become osteocytes. Where are the osteoblast cells located?
in the bone marrow
in the periosteum
in the compact bone area
Ligaments connect one bone to another and tendons connect a muscle to a bone. Ligaments and tendons connect to which part of bone material?
endosteum
epiphysis
periosteum
Bones store calcium ions. There are times when other parts of the body need calcium ions for chemical reactions (metabolism) to occur. The bones can supply those calcium ions by allowing calcium ions to leave the bones and enter into the bloodstream. The cells that induce this absorption of calcium ions into the bloodstream are the “bone destroying cells” called __________.
osteoblasts
osteoclasts
osteocytes
Articular cartilage is found __________.
at the ends of the epiphysis
on the outside of the diaphysis
within the epiphyseal plate
Which of the following is found on the anterior surface of the humerus?
deltoid tuberosity
radial fossa
greater tubercle
medial epicondyle

pisiform
trapezoid
trapezium
capitate

has heavier bones
has rougher, larger tuberosities and ridges
has a heart-shaped pelvic inlet
All of these choices
Which of the following is not a tarsal bone?
navicular
hamate
cuboid
cuneiform
which type of bone cell is responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue
chondrocytes
Osteoscytes
Osteoclast
