L7 Cellular Activity of Bone Tissue

Question 1 of 14

1

It takes about 6 weeks for the fibrocartilage in a fetus to begin developing into bones(ossification.)

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 2 of 14

1

The of long bones is the centre of ossification. The occur in the . These are separated by the epiphyseal plate, which is initially cartilaginous but becomes bone later in life.

Explanation

Question 3 of 14

1

The process of bone growing in width is called moulding.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 4 of 14

1

During moulding:
(Choose ALL CORRECT statements.)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Osteoblasts in the periosteum increase bone width.

  • Osteoclasts form the medullary cavity.

  • Osteoblasts in the medullary cavity form the trabeculae.

  • Osteoclasts increase the width of the periosteum.

Explanation

Question 5 of 14

1

In children, the medullary cavity is full of yellow marrow to facilitate the continuous growth, while in adults the medullary cavity is filled with red marrow.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 6 of 14

1

Red marrow is red as it is highly vascularised.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 7 of 14

1

What is epiphyseal fusion?

Select one of the following:

  • The calcification of the region between an epiphysis and edge of the medullary cavity.

  • The ossification of the epiphyseal joint.

  • The ossification of the epiphyseal plate.

  • The merging of two regions of bone between the epiphysis and diaphysis.

Explanation

Question 8 of 14

1

Bone pathology:

Select one of the following:

  • Is an imbalance of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity.

  • Is the structure of bones at the cellular level.

Explanation

Question 9 of 14

1

Osteoporosis is the weakening of the bone due to porousness, caused by osteoblastic activity overtaking osteoclastic activity.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 10 of 14

1

Weakening of cancellous bone commonly leads to compression fractures.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 11 of 14

1

Which of these is not a cause or contributing factor to risk of osteoporosis?

Select one of the following:

  • Menopause (decrease in estrogen)

  • Lack of exercise

  • Eating disorders

  • Early use of steroids

  • Excess calcium intake

Explanation

Question 12 of 14

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Assign these stages of a fracture with a time frame:
A hematoma forms, capillaries growing into it and phagocytes cleaning up debris, ( almost immediately, after 24 hours ).
Chondroblasts form a soft procallus of cartilage, ( within 3 days, within 3 weeks ).
Osteoblasts ossify the callus into a bony callus, ( by 6 weeks., by 6 months )
Normal activity remodels the bone in the following weeks, or potentially ( years, months ) until the callus has disappeared (generally in adults.)

Explanation

Question 13 of 14

1

Not fixing a fracture results in pseudoarthrosis.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 14 of 14

1

Which fracture has the most potential risk?

Select one of the following:

  • Compound fracture

  • Open fracture

  • Greenstick fracture
