ASU BIO 201- BONE| Quizzes with 100% Correct
Solutions & Verified
What kind of tissue is bone? - ANSWER bone is a connective tissue that consists of cells,
fibers, and ground substance
What are the different classifications of bones? - ANSWER long bones, short bones, flat
bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones
long bone - ANSWER - bones that are longer than they are wide (ex: humerus)
- shape, not size determines if it is a long bone (even pinkies and toes)
- most bones in the appendicular skeleton are long bones
irregular bone - ANSWER - Bones with complicated shapes (e.x., vertebrae, pelvis, and
sacrum)
flat bone - ANSWER -bones with no medullary cavity (ex: sternum, skull, and clavicle)
-instead have a "sandwich" of bone with compact bone on the outside and spongy bone
on the inside
short bone - ANSWER carpals and tarsals only
sesamoid bone - ANSWER -form in tendons of skeletal muscle (ex: patella)
- can form in any tendon in the body
articular cartilage - ANSWER -covers the surfaces of bones where they come together to
form joints
- both at proximal and distal ends of the bone
, Where do red bone marrow live in adults? - ANSWER -spongy bone
epiphyseal line - ANSWER - scar that shows where the epiphysis and diaphysis once
were
epiphyseal plate - ANSWER -Growth plate, made of cartilage, gradually ossifies
-is primarily in the bones of children only; as they grow older, bone will grow and plate
will disappear
medullary cavity - ANSWER cavity within the shaft of the long bones filled with bone
marrow (center of bone)
compact bone - ANSWER -Hard and dense, but not solid, bone tissue that is beneath the
outer membrane of a bone
-"cortical bone" (outside)
Periosteum - ANSWER -outer layer that serves as protection but also introduces blood
vessels and nerves to the inside of the bone
Endosteum - ANSWER -layer covering the spongy bone; covering inside the interior of
the bone
-membrane lining the medullary cavity of a bone
Perforating (Sharpey's) fibers - ANSWER -help attach periosteum to bone
-the same tissue that attaches muscle tendon to a bone
-incredibly strong (bone will fracture but this fibers will still stay intact)
