Ch. 6 Skeletal System Histology

The following are all functions of the skeletal system but one, which one DOES NOT belong?

• Support and Protection

• Movement

• Secretion

• Storage and Hemopoiesis

The double-layered connective tissue membrane that is on the outside of most cartilage that promotes cartilage growth.

• Periosteum

• Chondroblasts

• Endosteum

• Perichondrium

Cells responsible for making cartilage matrix.

• Chondroblasts

• Osteoblasts

• Chondrocytes

• Chondroclasts

A type of growth where cells lay down new matrix to the outside of the tissue is called:

• Interstitial

• Perichondrial

• Woven

• Appositional

These bones are longer than they are wider and are the weight bearing bones of the body.

• Short

• Long

• Irregular

• Flat

This part of a long bone stores yellow bone marrow.

• Epiphysis

• Articular cartilage

• Medullary Cavity

• Endosteum

Pelvic, skull, ribs and shoulder blades are examples of:

• Long bones

• Short bones

• Irregular Bones

• Flat bones

The inorganic matrix of bone that gives bone compression strength is made of:

• Collagen fibers

• Proteoglycans

• Osteoblasts

• Calcium Phosphate Crystals

The organic part of bone that allows flexibility is made of:

• Collagen Fibers

• Calcium Phosphate Crystals

• Osteoblasts

• Lamellae

Cells responsible for breaking down bone matrix

• Osteoprogenitor

• Osteoblasts

• Osteocytes

• Osteoclasts
