Why would running and jumping have a larger effect on bone health than walking?
Entry field with correct answer
Osteoblasts are less active and osteoclast are more active when there is mechanical stress placed on bones.
Osteoblasts are more active and osteoclast maintain normal activity when there is mechanical stress placed on bones.
Mechanical stress does not have an influence on osteoblast and osteoclast activity.
Running and jumping will prevent demineralization over time.
Osteoblasts are more active and osteoclast maintain normal activity when there is mechanical stress placed on bones.
In which region of a long bone, such as the humerus, would you find the epiphyseal plate (growth plate)?
Entry field with correct answer epiphysis diaphysis metaphysis periosteum endosteum
metaphysis
The process of intramembranous ossification generates bone within a pre-existing template composed of mesenchymal tissue. In contrast, endochondral ossification generates bone within a pre-existing template composed of _____.
Entry field with correct answer hyaline cartilage periosteum articular cartilage adipose tissue none of these choices
hyaline cartilage
Which of the following regions of bone would not undergo bone remodeling as frequently as the other regions?
Entry field with correct answer spongy bone compact bone bone subjected to new stresses damaged bone all of these have similar rates of remodeling
compact bone
Which of the following is a function of calcium in the body?
Entry field with correct answer
nerve cells require extracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) for proper functioning
Ca2+ is a cofactor needed for many enzymes to function properly
Ca2+ is required for the process of blood clotting
Ca2+ is needed by muscle cells for contraction
all of these are important roles of calcium in the body
all of these are important roles of calcium in the body
Which is the proper sequence of steps in the healing of a fracture (the steps are listed below but are not in the correct sequence of events):
1 osteoblasts form trabecular bone that joins together the fractured ends of the bone and bony callus replaces fibrocartilage callus
2 bone remodeling occurs and compact bone replaces the spongy bone around the periphery of the fracture site
3 fibroblasts and chondrocytes from the periosteum form the fibrocartilage callus
4 a fracture hematoma forms and bone cells in the region of the fracture die
5 phagocytes and osteoclasts begin to remove the dead cells and damaged tissue around the hematoma
