Understanding Bone Tissue and Formation

What are the two main types of bone tissue?

• Cortical and trabecular

• Compact and spongy

• Lamellar and woven

• Endosteal and periosteal

The process of bone formation is called:

• Calcification

• Mineralization

• Ossification

• Osteogenesis

Which of the following is NOT a function of bones in the human body?

• Support

• Protection

• Hormone production

• Digestion

Which cell type is responsible for bone resorption?

• Osteoblasts

• Osteocytes

• Osteoclasts

• Osteogenic cells

Intramembranous ossification occurs:

• Within hyaline cartilage

• Within fibrous connective tissue membranes

• Only in long bones

• Only in flat bones

The epiphyseal plate is responsible for:

• Widthwise growth of bones

• Lengthwise growth of long bones

• Formation of bone marrow

• Bone remodeling

Which of the following is a mineral stored in bones?

• Sodium

• Potassium

• Calcium

• Magnesium

Which type of bone cell is primarily involved in the formation of new bone tissue?

• Osteoblasts

• Osteocytes

• Osteoclasts

• Chondrocytes

Which part of the bone contains the bone marrow?

• Periosteum

• Diaphysis

• Epiphysis

• Medullary cavity

Which hormone is primarily responsible for regulating calcium levels in the blood and bones?

• Insulin

• Parathyroid hormone

• Thyroxine

• Cortisol
