False
Question 2The organic portion of the extracellular matrix space provides all of the following functions EXCEPT for:
Tensile strength
Ability to resist stretch

True
False
Question 4Which statement is true of calcitonin?
Increases calcium absorption in intestines
Overall, it will cause an increase of blood calcium levels
Increases the reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys
Inhibits the activity of osteoclasts
Question 5Which of the following is NOT a substance found within bone tissue?
Collagen fibers
Elastic fibers
Phosphate
Calcium
Question 6Red bone marrow is found in:
The medullary cavity
Spongy bone
Compact bone
The blood stream
Question 7Which choice best relates to and/or describes Wolff’s law of bone?
The amount of blood flow to bone tissue
Influences calcium absorption by the body
Calcium homeostasis of blood
The shape of bone is determined by the mechanical stresses placed upon it
Question 8Which statement is true of red bone marrow?
Is the location of triglyceride storage
Located in the medullary cavity of long bones in healthy adults
Located in spongy bone of bones in healthy adults
Found in only in short bones
Question 9The parietal and frontal bones are classified as:
Sesamoid bones
Short bones
Flat bones
Long bones
Question 10Formation of the fibrocartilaginous callus in the fracture repair of bone is followed up by which process?
Formation of granulation tissue
Hematoma formation
Bone remodeling
Bony callus formation
Question 11Which statement is true regarding the epiphyseal plates?
Assists the bones in appositional growth
Found in adult bones
It’s a portion of bone where cartilage cells are converted to bone tissue
Found in the diaphysis region of long bones
Question 12The trabeculae of spongy bone are well organized and align precisely along lines of stress, which ultimately help bone resist stress.
True
False
Question 13Which type of bone formation forms compact and spongy bone directly from fibrous connective tissue, without the need for cartilage?
Exochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Endochondral ossification
Question 14Which of the following is classified as a facial bone?
Occipital bone
Hyoid bone
Temporal bone
Maxilla
Question 15What is NOT a primary function of the skeletal system?
Homeostasis of magnesium and phosphate
Protection
Hematopoietic (blood cell production) site
Movement
Question 16Which statement is true regarding an osteon?
Osteocytes do not contain blood vessels
Osteons are epithelial cells
Canaliculi connect lacunae to the central canal
Found in both spongy and compact bone
Question 17The inorganic portion of the extracellular matrix space is produced by the osteoblasts?
True
False
Question 18When an epiphyseal plate “closes,” longitudinal growth is no longer possible.
True
False
Question 19Which statement is true of parathyroid hormone?
Inhibits the reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys
Increases blood calcium levels
Overall, it will cause a decrease in blood calcium levels
Indirectly inhibits calcium absorption in the intestines
