Question 1
Question
Bone tissue is static.
Answer
- True
- False
Question 2
Question
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].

Question 3
Question
Which statement about the cellular components of bone is FALSE?
Answer
-
Osteoblasts destroy bone.
-
Osteoblasts become osteocytes.
-
Osteoclasts break down the ECM.
Question 4
Question
Choose the statements about the structure of compact bone which are correct.
Answer
-
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.
Question 5
Question
Choose the statement about osteocytes and compact bone which is CORRECT.
Answer
-
Osteons sit within lacunae.
-
Central canals bring nutrients to osteocytes.
-
Canaliculi are smaller than central canals.
Question 6
Question
The foramen is the opening of the central canal.
Answer
- True
- False

Answer
-
ECM.
-
Marrow.
-
Calcium.
-
Osteons.
Question 9
Question
