Differentiate between the axial and appendicular skeleton.
Axial includes limbs; appendicular includes the skull
Axial includes the skull and vertebrae; appendicular includes limbs
Axial includes the pelvis; appendicular includes the rib cage

What is the role of the diaphysis in a long bone?
It is the site of bone growth
It stores bone marrow
It provides strength and support
It connects to the joints
Compare the structural differences between male and female pelvises.
Male pelvis is wider; female pelvis is narrower
Male pelvis is narrower; female pelvis is wider
Both are structurally identical
Male pelvis is more flexible; female pelvis is more rigid
Which type of fracture is characterized by the bone breaking into multiple pieces?
Greenstick fracture
Comminuted fracture
Simple fracture
Compound fracture
Describe the process of connective tissue converting to bone tissue a process called endochondral ossification.
Bone forms directly from mesenchymal tissue
Bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage
Bone forms from fibrous membranes
Bone forms through the deposition of calcium
Evaluate the differences in joint mobility between a hinge joint and a ball and socket joint.
Hinge joint allows for rotational movement; ball and socket allows for flexion only
Hinge joint allows for flexion and extension; ball and socket allows for rotational movement
Both allow for the same range of motion
Hinge joint allows for circumduction; ball and socket allows for gliding
How does the structure of flat bones differ from that of long bones?
Flat bones have a hollow center; long bones are solid
Flat bones are composed of spongy bone sandwiched between compact bone; long bones have a central marrow cavity
Flat bones are made entirely of compact bone; long bones are made entirely of spongy bone
Flat bones have a central marrow cavity; long bones do not
