QuestionAnswer
What is ossification and resorption of the bone, and does it ever occur at the same rate? Ossification is the formation of whole bone tissue. Resorption is the breaking down of bone by the osteoclasts . Then osteoclasts lay done new bone.
Compare and contrast interstitial and appositional cartilage growth. Both expand, bond, and secrete additional matrix during growth. The direction of growth differs as interstitial makes bones longer.
How are homestasis, calcium ions, and bone connected? Calcium ions have to be regulated closely in the blood as the osteoblasts helps make bone. The osteoclasts break bone down and release calcium into the blood.
Name the functions of bones. The functions are to support the body's framework, protect all of the inside structures, and provide movement.
How does red bone marrow that starts at life (with yellow marrow) stay in the body if unlike yellow marrow, it's production? Red bone marrow is founded during the life time in the ribs, parts of the vertebrae, humerous ends, the pelivs and the femur. Yellow
What is a flexible tissue that is also firm and composed of mainly fibers of proteins? Cartilage is a rubbery , flexible tissue of mostly protein fibers. It has few cells and cell types with little to no blood supply.
Which bone makes a majority of the bone mass in an adult? Compact bone is dense, looks solid, and makes up about 80% of the bone mass.
How can you tell if a bone has grown to its full length? The epiphyseal cartilage will dissapear due to bone replacing it. Then, the epiphysis and diaphysis will look continuous.
What happens to the bone besides not being continuous as a result of a fracture? Bone fractures create vascular damage by destroying blood vessels that supply nutrients to the bone's osteocytes.
Explain what osseous tissue is. How it is different from other body tissues? Ossesous tissue is bone tissue that is connective. It has cells, fibers, and extracellular material ( matrix). The matrix is calcified.
