Bone is made of the basic tissue known as [blank_start]connective[blank_end] tissue. There are two extracellular components: [blank_start]organic and inorganic[blank_end].
The [blank_start]organic[blank_end] component (1/3 of ECM) is mainly [blank_start]collagen[blank_end] fibres to resist [blank_start]tension[blank_end], in a base of proteoglycans which hold water volume.
The [blank_start]inorganic[blank_end] component (2/3 of ECM) is what makes bone hard. It contains [blank_start]hydroxyapatite[blank_end], which resists [blank_start]compression[blank_end].

Questão 3
Questão
Which statement about the cellular components of bone is FALSE?
Responda
Osteoblasts destroy bone.
Osteoblasts become osteocytes.
Osteoclasts break down the ECM.
Questão 4
Questão
Choose the statements about the structure of compact bone which are correct.
Responda
The outer layer of compact bone (the periosteum) has holes in it.
It is made up of osteons, which are longitudinal cylinders made of lamellae.
Lamellae are the tubes of ECM, with collagen fibres aligned parallel to direction of growth.
There are no nerves, arteries, or veins in the compact bone.
The osteons maintain the osteocytes by providing them with nutrition.
Questão 5
Questão
Choose the statement about osteocytes and compact bone which is CORRECT.
Responda
Osteons sit within lacunae.
Central canals bring nutrients to osteocytes.
Canaliculi are smaller than central canals.
Questão 6
Questão
The foramen is the opening of the central canal.
Responda
True
False
Questão 7
Questão
Cancellous bone is trabeculous.
Responda
True
False
Questão 8
Questão
The cavities between trabeculae are filled with...
Responda
ECM.
Marrow.
Calcium.
Osteons.
Questão 9
Questão
Blood cells in the marrow feed osteocytes.
Responda
True
False
