Chapter 6, Problem 4CYR

Mark the following statements about bone tissue as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.

a. The primary mineral in the inorganic matrix is hydroxyapatite.

b. The inorganic matrix of bone is solely responsible for the strength of bone tissue.

c. Collagen fibers are one of the predominant parts of the inorganic matrix.

d. The collagen fibers of bone help it to resist torsion and tension.

e. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone resorption, and osteoclasts are responsible for bone deposition.

f. Osteocytes are mature and less active osteoblasts that have become surrounded by bone ECM.

Which of the following statements about bone tissue is/are TRUE? Group of answer choices a. Spiraling collagen fibers gives bone its tremendous resistance to torsional forces. b. Concentric rings of bone matrix, called lamellae, compose an osteon. c. Bone marrow occurs within the spongy bone and in a central medullary cavity. d. The epiphyseal plate of long bones close during fetal development. e. Calcium phosphate salts crystallize to form the inorganic part of bone. f. Osteoblasts are immature, bone-forming cells. g. Bones are classified by shape: long, short, irregular, or flat. h. The trabeculae of compact bone are arranged in parallel units along the long axis.
Select all of the characteristics that compact bone and spongy bone have in common. a. The matrix is a hard ground substance with collagen fibers. b. They have spaces filled with bone marrow. c. They are formed by osteons, repeating units of bone tissue. d. They lack blood supply (are avascular).
Which is not involved in the process of bone repair following a fracture: A. Fibroblasts produce collagen fibers to connect broken pieces of bone B. A fibrocartilaginous callus serves as a model for new bone growth C. Osteoclasts remove excess bone from the hard callus  D. The fracture hematoma reorganizes to form a procallus  D. No exceptions; all of the choices are involved in the process of bone repair
