Chondrocytes occupy small spaces called
lacunae
Which statements characterize the functions of cartilage
- It provides gliding surface for joints
- It provides a model for the formation of bones
- It supports soft tissues
A place where 2 bones meet is called
articulation
Process of blood cell production
hempoiesis
Based on shape, bones that have a length about equal to their width are classified as
short
What are some examples of short bones?
some bones of foot, bones of wrist
The expanded end of a long bone Is called
epiphysis
Which statement characterizes articular cartilage
- it is composed of hyaline cartilage
- it functions to reduce friction in joints
- it covers epiphysis
_____ are large phagocytic cells found in the bone
Osteoclasts
Which statements characterize the microscopic arrangement of spongey bone?
- it contains lucunae and canaliculi
- it contains no osteons
- it contains parallel lamellae
What are that bones formed through endchondral ossification
vertebrae
upper limb bones
lower limb bones
Which statements characterize osteoclasts
- They have ruffled borders
- They reabsorb bone matrix
- They are phagocytic
- They secrete hydrochloric acid
The bones of the upper and lower limbs are produced through _____ ossification
endochondral
Description of a crest
narrow, prominent, ridge like projection
Description of a tuberosity
large rough projection
Description of a line
low ridge
Description of a tubercle
small, round projection
What are the steps of endochondral ossification in order?
- Hyaline cartilage model develops
- Periosteal bone collar forms
- Primary ossification center appears
- Secondary ossification center appears
- Epiphyseal plates become epiphyseal lines
Order the events of intramembranous ossification
- Ossification centers form in mesenchyme
- Osteiod calcifies
- Woven bone and periosteum form
- Plates of compact bone form with spongey bone in between
The largest foramen in the skull, visible on an inferior (basal) view is
foramen magnum
The temporal bone and mandible articulate to form the tempormandibular joint at the
mandibular fossa
Which feature of the occipital bone articulates with the first cervical vertebra
occipital condlyes
Which suture forms the boundary between the occipital bone and the parietal bones
Lambdoid suture
The articulation between the right and left parietal bones is formed by the
sagital suture
