The skeleton can still grow as long as there is cartilage left in the ___.
a. Diaphysis
B. chondrocyes
C. Epiphyseal plate
d. Haversian system
Which of the following is not a reason we become shorter as we age?
a.As a person ages, the intervertebral discs become thinner and the vertebrae will be stacked closer together, resulting in shorter stature.
b.As a person ages, vertebral bodies lose bone mass (osteoporosis) resulting in smaller vertebrae that stack closer together.
c.As a person ages, scoliosis may develop resulting in an abnormal spinal curvature and shorter stature.
d.As a person ages, the ligaments connecting vertebrae together are weakened, resulting in a more pronounced kyphosis. This posterior curvature of the spine lowers the skull, making you shorter.
The carpal bones are a set of eight bones that make up the human wrist. These bones are part of which division of the skeleton? A. Compact skeleton B. Axial skeleton C. Subchondral skeleton D. Appendicular skeleton
