Question 1

Types of Bones

Accepted Answer

Long Bones, Short Bones, Flat Bones, Irregular Bones

Question 2

Structures of a Long Bone

Accepted Answer

Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Epiphyseal Line,  Metaphysis, Medullary Cavity,  Yellow Bone Marrow, Periosteum, Articular Cartilage

Question 3

Long Bones

Accepted Answer

hard, cylindrical skeletal structures that are longer than they are wide and function primarily as levers to support weight and facilitate movement(Upper Limbs, Lower Limbs, Digits)

Question 4

Short Bones

Accepted Answer

cube-shaped skeletal elements with roughly equal length, width, and thickness, designed primarily to provide stability, support, and limited motion in tight spaces(found in complex joints of hands and feet)

Question 5

Flat Bones

Accepted Answer

thin, curved plates of bone that protect internal organs and provide broad surfaces for muscle attachment(cranial bones, ribs, shoulder blades)

Question 6

Irregular Bones

Accepted Answer

Irregular bones are skeletal elements with complex, peculiar shapes that do not fit into long, short, flat, or sesamoid categories. They consist of an inner layer of spongy (cancellous) bone covered by a thin outer layer of compact bone(Vertebrae)

Question 7

Diaphysis

Accepted Answer

the main tubular shaft or central midsection of a long bone

Question 8

Epiphysis

Accepted Answer

the rounded end or tip of a long bone

Question 9

Epiphyseal Line

Accepted Answer

the solid bony remnant of an epiphyseal plate (or growth plate) that forms when a long bone finishes growing in length.

Question 10

Metaphysis

Accepted Answer

the wide, flared neck portion of a long bone located between the central shaft (diaphysis) and the end section (epiphysis)

Question 11

Medullary Cavity

Accepted Answer

the central, hollow space inside the shaft (diaphysis) of long bones that stores bone marrow and helps reduce skeletal weight

Question 12

Yellow Bone Marrow

Accepted Answer

a soft, spongy tissue found in the central cavities of long bones that primarily stores fat and energy

Question 13

Periosteum

Accepted Answer

a dense, fibrous membrane that covers the outer surfaces of bones, except at joint surfaces where they are covered by articular cartilage

Question 14

Articular Cartilage

Accepted Answer

smooth, white connective tissue that covers the ends of bones in moving joints to reduce friction and absorb shock

Question 15

Spongy Bone

Accepted Answer

Spongy bone, also called cancellous bone or trabecular bone, is a lightweight, porous tissue that forms the inner layer of bones and supports blood cell production, Red Bone Marrow, Trabeculae

Question 16

Trabeculae

Accepted Answer

small, beam-like tissue structures—made of bone, muscle, or fibrous tissue—that form an internal supportive network or scaffolding inside organs

Question 17

Red Bone Marrow

Accepted Answer

a soft, spongy tissue inside bones that produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

Question 18

Compact Bone

Accepted Answer

the dense, hard outer layer of bone tissue that provides structural strength and protection to the skeleton, makes up 80% of total human bone mass

Question 19

Osteon

Accepted Answer

the main functional and structural unit of compact (cortical) bone, Haversian Canal, Osteocyte, Osteoblast, Osteoclast Canaliculi, Lamellae, Endosteum, Lacuna

Question 20

Haversian Canal

Accepted Answer

A hollow tube running down the middle that holds blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels to supply the bone with nutrients

Question 21

Osteocytes

Accepted Answer

Mature bone cells that live inside the lacunae and maintain the bone health.

Question 22

Osteoblast

Accepted Answer

a specialized, cube-shaped cell responsible for forming new bone tissue and repairing skeletal damage

Question 23

Osteoclast

Accepted Answer

a large, multinucleated bone cell that breaks down and absorbs bone tissue to support remodeling, repair, and calcium balance.

Question 24

Canaliculi

Accepted Answer

a large, multinucleated bone cell that breaks down and absorbs bone tissue to support remodeling, repair, and calcium balance.

Question 25

Lamellae

Accepted Answer

Ring-like layers of hard, calcified bone matrix that wrap around the central canal like rings on a tree

Question 26

Endosteum

Accepted Answer

a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the inner surfaces of bones,

Question 27

Lacunae

Accepted Answer

a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the inner surfaces of bones

Question 28

Arterioles

Accepted Answer

very small blood vessels that branch off from larger arteries and connect to tiny capillaries to deliver blood to tissues and organs

Question 29

Venules

Accepted Answer

a very small blood vessel that allows deoxygenated blood to drain from the tiny capillaries into larger veins
