Cells & Tissues of the Skeletal System

What is the primary function of osteoprogenitor cells in bone tissue?

• stem cells for bone resorption

• stem cells for bone deposition

• stem cells for bone repair and regeneration

• stem cells for bone maintenance

Which type of cell is responsible for synthesizing and secreting organic components of the bone matrix?

• osteoprogenitor cells

• osteoblast

• osteoclast

• osteocyte

The main structural component of fibrocartilage is:

• collagen fibers

• hyaline fibers

• elastic fibers

• irregular fibers

Chondroblasts are cells that:

• produce new cartilage matrix

• maintain mature cartilage tissue

• break down cartilage during remodeling

• repair damaged bone tissue

Fibrocartilage is found in structures that require:

• flexability and support

• tensile strength

• shock absorption

• lubrication

Dense irregular tissue is characterized by:

• dense arrangement of collagen fibers in a regular pattern

• loose arrangement of collagen fibers in a regular pattern

• dense arrangement of collagen fibers in a irregular pattern

• loose arrangement of collagen fibers in a regular pattern

Which of the following is a mitotic bone cell

• osteocytes

• osteoblasts

• osteoclasts

• osteoprogenitor cells

• osteocytes

• osteoblasts

• osteoclasts

• osteogenic cells

What is the primary function of osteoclasts in bone tissue?

• Stem cells for bone formation

• Cells that break down bone tissue during bone remodeling

• Cells responsible for bone repair and regeneration

• Cells that maintain mature bone tissue

What is the main function of hyaline cartilage in the skeletal system?

• To provide flexibility and support

• To offer tensile strength

• To facilitate shock absorption

• To reduce friction and ease joint movement
