12. Describe the basic steps of intramembranous and endochondral ossification.

5. Describe the microscopic structure of bone

24. A rare genetic disorder called receptor deficit rickets results in the absence of a working receptor for the active form of Vitamin D in tissues. This lack of receptor results in the "message" of vitamin D being lost. What impacts on bone formation would you predict from this disorder? (check all that apply) Group of answer choices fewer materials for building bone would be delivered via the nutrient artery upregulation of Ca+2 transporters would be limited Ca+2 absorption would be impacted bone density would be decreased chondrocytes would be prevented from creating an alkaline environment osteoclast activity would be suppressed, limiting remodeling
