(e) all of these
A bone with approximately the same width, length, and height is most likely
(a) a long bone, (b) a short bone, (c) a at bone,
(d) an irregular bone.
(b) a short bone
The shaft of a long bone is properly called the
(a) epiphysis, (b) periosteum, (c) diaphysis, (d) compact bone.
(c) diaphysis
An osteon has
(a) a central canal carrying blood vessels,
(b) concentric lamellae, (c) osteocytes in lacunae, (d) canaliculi that connect lacunae to the central canal, (e) all of these.
(e) all of these
The remodeling of bone is a function of which cells?
(a) chondrocytes and osteocytes, (b) osteoblasts and osteoclasts, (c) chondroblasts and osteoclasts, (d) osteoblasts and osteocytes.
(b) osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Formation of the bony callus in fracture repair is followed by
(a) hematoma formation, (b) brocartilaginous callus formation, (c) bone remodeling, (d) formation of granulation tissue.
(c) bone remodeling

(a) greenstick, (b) compound, (c) simple,
(d) comminuted, (e) compression.
(a) greenstick
_________ bones – longer than they are wide
Long
_________ bones – small and boxy; length and width close to equal
Short
_________ bones – have thin parallel surfaces
Flat
_________ bones – complex shapes
Irregular
_________ bones – small and flat; develop inside tendons
Sesamoid
-Type of Bone-
_________: humerus, ulna, radius, and femur
Long
-Type of Bone-
Carpal bones of the wrist and tarsal bones of the ankle
Short
-Type of Bone-
Cranial bones, ribs, and sternum
Flat
_________ bones – flat bones found in the suture lines of the skull
Sutural (Wormian)
-Type of Bone-
Vertebrae, bones of the pelvis
Irregular
-Type of Bone-
Patella (kneecap), also commonly found in the hands, feet, and knees
Sesamoid -
-Functions of Bones-
_________ – provides structural support for the entire body
Support
-Functions of Bones-
_________ - Surround soft tissue – ribs and sternum protect the heart and lungs, skull protects the brain
Protection
-Functions of Bones-
_________ – skeletal muscle is attached to bone so it pulls on the bone when it contracts
Movement
-Functions of Bones-
_________ – stores calcium and phosphorus
-Minerals are released into the blood when need
Mineral homeostasis
-Functions of Bones-
_________ - Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements
Blood cell production
-Functions of Bones-
_________ - Yellow marrow stores fat
Storage of lipids
