Question 1.
Functions of the Skeletal System
Correct Answer: 1) Support 3) Attachment sites for skeletal muscles
2) Protection 4) Hematopoiesis (Blood Cell Production) 5) Mineral Storage
Question 2.
1) Long Bones (thigh bone) 2) Short Bones (wrist bones)
3) Flat Bones (most skull bones) 4) Irregular Bones (spine Bones)
Correct Answer: Four basic types of bones
Question 3.
The shaft of the bone-Hollow tube made of hard, compact bone, hence a rigid and strong
structure light enough in weight to permit easy movement.
Correct Answer: Diaphysis
Question 4.
The hollow area inside the diaphysis of a bone; contains soft yellow bone marrow, an
inactive, fatty form of marrow found in the adult skeleton.
Correct Answer: Medullary Cavity
Question 5.
The ends of the bone- red bone marrow fills in small spaces in the spongy bone composing
the epiphyses
Correct Answer: Epiphyses
Question 6.
A thin layer of cartilage covering each epiphysis; functions like a small rubber cushion
would if it were places over the ends of bones where they form a joint.
Correct Answer: Articular Cartilage

strong fibrous membrane covering a long bone everywhere except at joint surfaces, where
it is covered by articular cartilage.
Correct Answer: Periosteum
