- Why is cartilage slow to heal?a. because it eventually develops into boneb. because it is semi-solid and flexiblec. because it does not have a blood supply d. because endochondral ossification replaces allcartilage with bonearrow_forwardWorms use a hydrostatic skeleton to generate movement. How do they do this? a. Their bones are filled with water, which provides the weight of the skeleton. b. The change in body structure is caused by contraction of muscles compressing the watery body fluid. c. The muscles contain water vacuoles, which, when filled, provide a rigid internal structure. d. The term hydrostatic simply refers to moist environment. They generate movement just as arthropods do.arrow_forwardOf the 3 kinds of cells found in cartilage, which helps build cartilaginous tissue? Group of answer choices a. osteocytes b. chondroblasts c. osteoblasts d . chondroclasts Since cartilage is largely avascular, how do cartilaginous cells receive nutrients? Group of answer choices a. from nearby capillaries b. diffusion through the matrix c. from the canaliculi throughout d. from nearby nervous tissuearrow_forward
- Which statement is true in reference to the picture? A. All of the labeled structures (A–E) are bones that formed first as cartilage B. All of the labeled structures (A–E) are components of the appendicular skeleton. C. All of the labeled structures (A–E) are made of composite materials. D. All of the labeled structures (A–E) have many cells and little extracellular matrix ionarrow_forwardThe function of a ligament is to connect a. cartilage to bone.b. bone to bone.c. bone to muscle.d. muscle to muscle.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward
