How does the skeletal system contribute to movement?
By storing fat in yellow bone marrow
By encasing essential organs
By providing joints for movement
By producing blood cells
Which of the following is an example of a flat bone?

How are bones classified?
By their size
By their shape
By their weight
By their density
What is an example of a short bone?
Wrist

What are the two basic regions of a long bone?
Diaphysis and epiphyseal plate
Diaphysis and epiphyses
Epiphyses and articular cartilage
Epiphyseal plate and articular cartilage
What is the function of the articular cartilage at the ends of the epiphyses?
Provides growth for the bone
Provides smooth movement of joints and cushions from shock
Connects the diaphysis and epiphyses
Forms the shaft of the bone
What replaces red bone marrow in the medullary cavity as a person ages?
Yellow bone marrow
Compact bone
Cartilage
Spongy bone
What is the process called in which new blood cells are produced within the bone marrow?
Osteogenesis
Hematopoiesis
Calcification
Ossification
In young people, what type of bone marrow fills the medullary cavity?
Yellow bone marrow
Red bone marrow
White bone marrow
Spongy bone
What is the function of the periosteum?
It provides a location for muscle attachment and bone repair
It stores calcium for the body
It produces red blood cells
It protects the spongy bone
What is the primary difference between spongy bone and compact bone in terms of structure?
Spongy bone is dense and solid, while compact bone has a porous structure.
Spongy bone has a porous, lattice-like structure, while compact bone is dense and solid.
Spongy bone is found only in the outer layer of bones, while compact bone is found in the inner layer.
Spongy bone contains no blood vessels, while compact bone is rich in blood vessels.
Which of the following is a characteristic of compact bone?
It has a lattice-like structure.
It is dense and provides strength to the bone.
It is found at the ends of long bones.
It contains no blood vessels.
What does the term "trabeculae" mean in the context of spongy bone?
Large beams
Little beams
Bone marrow
Blood vessels
What connects the central canals in compact bone?
Lamellae
Osteons
Perforating (Volkmann’s) canals
Haversian canals
What is the function of canaliculi in bone cells?
They produce new bone.
They break down bone.
They connect all bone cells, allowing them to receive nutrients and remove wastes.
They line the Haversian canals.
What is the primary characteristic of spongy bone?
It contains large spaces.
It is made of column-shaped osteons.
It destroys bone cells.
It keeps bone cells connected to nutrients.
When does primary ossification occur?
During adolescence
During childhood
During fetal development
During adulthood
What is the role of chondrocytes at the epiphyseal plate during a child's growth?
They divide and deteriorate as the matrix calcifies.
They secrete acid to enlarge the medullary cavity.
They form the marrow for all cells.
They directly form compact bone.
Why is calcium important in the body?
It helps in the digestion of food.
It maintains a certain level in the blood at all times.
It is used to produce energy in cells.
It helps in the production of red blood cells.
Which process occurs when calcium levels in the blood are too high?
Osteoclasts break down bone to release calcium
Calcium is absorbed from the blood into bones
Parathyroid glands produce PTH
Calcium levels in the blood rise
Which gland is responsible for producing PTH when calcium levels in the blood are too low?
Thyroid gland
Adrenal gland
Parathyroid gland
Pituitary gland
What is the first step in the process of repairing a broken bone?
Callus forms
Hematoma forms
Compact bone forms
Spongy bone forms
What gives bones their strength?
Cartilage
Mineral salts
Hormones
Osteoid portion
What forms first when a bone is broken?
Callus
Hematoma
Cartilage
Osteoid
What are the two major sections of the human skeleton?
