Q

What accurately describes the difference between cartilage and bone?

25
The menisci of the knee are made of
Fibrocartilage
26
Which of the following is the site where bone marrow is routinely sampled in an adult?
The sternum is the site of choice for a bone marrow biopsy in an adult because hematopoiesis continues to be very active within the sternum.
27
Homeostatic blood calcium levels should range from ? to ?
9 to 11 milligrams per 100 milliliters
28
If a breastfeeding mother becomes vitamin D deficient, what disease is most likely to develop in the nursing infant?
Although rickets is very rare in the United States, most cases occur when a breastfeeding mother becomes vitamin D deficient.
29
What are fossa?
Bone depressions
30
Most bones below the base of the skull form by endochondral ossification. T/F?
True
31
A bone broken in three or more places is called
Comminuted
32
Which structure consists of hyaline cartilage? A) Epiphyseal plate B) Red bone marrow C) Periosteum D) Circumstantial lamellae
The Epiphyseal Plate is a disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone
33
Which of the following does not occur during the events leading to the lengthening of a bone? Osteoblasts produce osteoid Calcified spicules are broken down Chondrocytes enlarge Cartilage cells multiply
Osteoblasts produce osteoid which calcifies within fibrous connective tissue membranes. This event occurs during the intramembranous development of flat bones, not during the the growth of long bones.
34
Intramembranous ossification results in the formation of ?
The flat cranial bones and the clavicles
35
Which of the following results from the effects of PTH? Stimulation of osteoclasts Proliferation at epiphyseal plate Production of bone matrix Decrease in serum Ca++
Stimulation of osteoClast activity. PTH is released in response to calcium deficiency. The breakdown of bone matrix increases serum Ca++.
36
Bone remodeling in response to mechanical stress is triggered by ?
Signals produced by osteocytes in the affected bone.
37
The material that initially connects the broken ends of bones together is formed from ?
Collagen fibers produced by fibroblasts contribute to the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus that spans the break.
38
Which of the following is incorrect? Paget's disease is caused by Vit D deficiency. Osteomalacia may be caused by insufficient calcium Rickets is a disease analogous to osteomalacia Osteoporosis is influenced by hormone changes
Paget's disease may be caused by a viral infection. Osteomalacia and rickets are caused by insufficient calcium or Vit D deficiency.
39
What is not a function of the skeletal system?
Generating heat
40
Sites of hematopoiesis include:
Red marrow of spongy bone Heads of femur and humerus in adults Medullary cavities of infants
41
The organic portion of matrix is important in providing:
Tensile strength Ability to resist stretch Flexibility
42
Bone remodeling in adults is regulated and directed mainly by ?
Mechanical stress & PTH
43
Where within the epiphyseal plate are the dividing cartilage cells located?
Between the resting zone and hypertrophic zone
44
Wolff's law is concerned with ?
The shape of a bone being determined by the mechanical stress placed upon it
45
Formation of the bony callus in fracture repair is followed by ?
Bone remodeling
46
The fracture type in which the bone ends are incompletely separated is called ?
Greenstick
47
Describe in proper sequence the events of endochondral ossification in a long bone.
1. Bone collar forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model. 2. Cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and develops cavities. 3. Periosteal bud invades the cavities and spongy bone forms. 4. The diaphysis elongates and medullary cavity forms. 5. Epiphysis ossifies
48
Women suffering from osteoporosis are frequent victims of ___ fractures of the vertebrae.
Compression
49
A blow to the cheek is most likely to break what superficial bone?
Zygomatic process
50
Which of the following are part of the sphenoid? ``` Crista galli Sella turcica Petrous portion Pterygoid process Lesser wings ```
Sella turcica Pterygoid process Less wings

Structural characteristics of all cervical vertebrae are ?
Tranverse foramina
52
Which of the following exhibits a styloid process? ``` Hyoid Temporal Humerus Radius Ulna ```
Temporal Radius Ulna
53
Coxal bone markings include: ``` Ala Sacral hiatus Gluteal surface Pubic ramus Fovea capitis ```
Ala Gluteal surface Pubic ramus
54
Cartilaginous joints include ___ and ___.
Symphyses and Synchondroses
