Which of the following is not a component of bone matrix?

Small spaces in which bone cells lie are called

The basic structural unit of compact bone is

The cells that produce the organic matrix in bone are

The bones in an adult that contain red marrow include all of the following except

Low blood calcium evokes a response from:

Haversian canals run lengthwise, whereas Vokmann's canals run transverse to the bone.

Giant, multinucleate cells that are responsible for bone resorption are called osteocytes.

Bone marrow is found not only in the medullary cavities of certain long bones but also in the spaces of cancellous bone.

Calcitonin functions to stimulate osteoblasts and inhibit osteoclasts.

Hematopoiesis is a term referring to the formation of new Haversian systems.

Yellow marrow is found in almost all of the bones of an infant's body.

The primary ossification center is located at the

The primary purpose of the epiphyseal plate is

The epiphyseal plate is composed mostly of

Bone loss normally begins to exceed bone gain between the ages of

The first step to healing a bone fracture is

The addition of bone to its outer surface resulting in growth in diameter is called appositional growth

Most bones of the body are formed by intramembranous ossification

Once an individual reaches skeletal maturity, the bones undergo years of metabolic rest

Lack of exercise tends to weaken bones through decreased collagen formation and excessive calcium withdrawal.

When bones reach their full length, the epiphyseal plate disappears.

The fibrous covering of cartilage is

The external ear, epiglottis and the auditory tube are composed of

Vitamin D deficiency can result in

Both bone and cartilage are well vascularized.

The intervertebral discs are composed of fibrocartilage

The growth of cartilage occurs by both appositional and interstitial growth

Functions of bones include: [blank_start]hematopoiesis[blank_end], [blank_start]mineral[blank_end] [blank_start]storage[blank_end], [blank_start]movement[blank_end], [blank_start]protection[blank_end] and [blank_start]support[blank_end].

The [blank_start]medullary[blank_end] [blank_start]cavity[blank_end] is the hollow area inside the diaphysis of a bone.

A thin layer of cartilage covering each epiphysis is the [blank_start]articular[blank_end] [blank_start]cartilage[blank_end].

The [blank_start]endosteum[blank_end] lines the medullary cavity of long bones.

[blank_start]Hematopoiesis[blank_end] is used to describe the process of blood cell formation.

Blood cell formation is a vital process carried on in [blank_start]red[blank_end] [blank_start]bone[blank_end] [blank_start]marrow[blank_end].

The [blank_start]periosteum[blank_end] is a strong fibrous membrane that covers a long bone except at join surfaces.

Bones may be classified by hsape. Those shapes include: [blank_start]flat[blank_end], [blank_start]irregular[blank_end], [blank_start]long[blank_end], [blank_start]sesamoid[blank_end] and [blank_start]short[blank_end].

Bones serve as the major reservoir for [blank_start]calcium[blank_end], a vital substance required for normal nerve and muscle functions.

[blank_start]Hyaline[blank_end] is the most abundant type of cartilage.
