- When the long skeletal bones grow in length, cartilage is first formed which then turns into bones. Bone formation (ossification) takes place in which zone: a) The dormant cartilage zone b) Proliferation zones c) Hypertrophy zones d) Calcification zonesarrow_forward1. Select the FOUR that DO occur during endochondral ossification of long bones: A. Osteoclasts increase the lumen of the marrow cavity as the bone grows in width B. Ossification occurs in the space left by dead chondrocytes C. Chondrocytes grow large and then die D. Mesenchymal cells of the dermis differentiate to osteoblasts E. Areas of ossification become vasculararrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT correct? A. Bone fracture is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone B. Bone remodelling, continuing process of synthesis and destruction that gives bone its mature structure and maintains normal calcium levels in the body C. bone resorption the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release the minerals D. Osteoblasts release hydrochloric acid and acidic proteases such as cathepsin K, resulting in degradation of the bone matrix and liberation of Ca, PO., and fragments of type I collagen E. osteoblasts have receptors for PTH and, when activated, produce osteoclast stimulating factor (cytokine)arrow_forward

- Which of the following statements about the developmental aspects of bone is inaccurate? a. in children and adolescents, bone formation is greater than bone resorption b. in old age, bone formation is less than bone resorption c. almost all bones are completely ossified by age 25 d. bone mass declines starting at age 40 e. None of the abovearrow_forwardCompact bone contains structures that serve as passageways for blood vessels, veins, and nerves. Which of the following anatomical structure found in compact bone is a non-canal structure? a. Haversian canal b. Volkmann’s canal c. lacunae d. canaliculi e. none of the abovearrow_forwardAll of the following are functions of cartilage except a. cartilage serves as a site for hemopoiesis. b. cartilage provides support for soft tissue. c. cartilage forms the initial model in endochondral ossification. d. cartilage provides a smooth gliding surface at the end of bones in freely movable joints.arrow_forward
