Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 20RQ
Why is cartilage slow to heal?
- because it eventually develops into bone
- because it is semi-solid and flexible
- because it does not have a blood supply
- because endochondral ossification replaces all cartilage with bone

- What is the difference between compact bone and spongy bone? They have different bone marrow. They are made of different materials. They have different sizes of bone cells. They have different arrangement of bone cells.arrow_forwardWomen build bone until about age 35 and then begin to lose about 1 percent of their bone mass annually. Men start losing bone mass approximately 10 to 20 years later. During the aging process, most skeletal system changes result from changes in connective tissue. Most bone loss is caused by the loss later in life of bone mineral content, especially calcium salts deposited in the bone matrix. The cartilage becomes hard and brittle. Research Patient Education for Osteoporosis Prevention and describe how you would explain to a patient in their mid 30's.. What are some treatment options for Osteoporosis?arrow_forwardEndochondral ossification begins with a(n) model. dense connective tissue hyaline cartilage fibrous cartilage spongy bonearrow_forward
- Which type of ossification process begins with a hyaline cartilage model that has two ossification centers called the primary and secondary ossification center. In this process the cartilage model is replaced with bone except at the articular cartilages and the epiphyseal plates. An example of a bone that develops by this process is the humerus. growth of the articular cartilage growth from a hyaline cartilage model intramembranous ossification endochondral ossification epiphyseal growtharrow_forwardAll of the following types of bone cells originate from unspecialized bone stem cells derived from mesenchyme except: Osteocytes Osteogenic cells Osteoclast Osteoblast A plane that passes through the structure at an angle is called O frontal. coronal. oblique.

List three structural features that are different.arrow_forward
- Bone gains its rigidity from brick‑hard deposits amidst living cells. Yet we cannot build a large stone skyscraper from a small stone house without breaking the house apart. Yet our bones grow from small hard bones to large hard bones without ever breaking apart into soft vulnerable tissue. How is that accomplished?arrow_forwardWhich of the following components found in the bone matrix make bone somewhat flexible and resilient? desmosomes collagen phosphorus calcium vitamin Darrow_forwardBone cells that break down extracellular matrix during bone remodeling are: osteoprogenitor cells osteocytes osteoclasts osteoblastsarrow_forward
