BIO 109 Exam 2 2026) Answered
Questions (Latest 2026)
Osteoclasts - CORRECT ANSWERS cells that break down bone matrix
Osteoblasts - CORRECT ANSWERS builds bone
Osteocytes - CORRECT ANSWERS mature bone cells/ maintain bone
bones of skeleton - CORRECT ANSWERS axial and appendicular skeleton
growth process of long bones - CORRECT ANSWERS They grow primarily by elongation of the
diaphysis, with an epiphysis at each end of the growing bone. The ends of epiphyses are covered with
hyaline cartilage ("articular cartilage"). The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral
ossification at the epiphyseal plate.
compact bone - CORRECT ANSWERS Hard, dense bone tissue that is beneath the outer
membrane of a bone (mostly solid matrix and cells)
cancellous bone - CORRECT ANSWERS spongy, porous, bone tissue in the inner part of a bone
(lacy network of bone with many small spaces that are filled with marrow)
attachment site - CORRECT ANSWERS prominite projections
Bone processes/projections - CORRECT ANSWERS -In anatomy, a process is a projection or
outgrowth of tissue from a larger body. For instance, in a vertebra, a process may serve for muscle

, what sutures make up the vertebral column? - CORRECT ANSWERS lambdoidal suture, coronal
suture, sagittal suture, squamous sutures
What are the differences in the male and female pelvis? - CORRECT ANSWERS Male sub pubic
angle is less that 90 degrees and female Is greater than 90 degrees
Flexion - CORRECT ANSWERS bending a joint
Extention - CORRECT ANSWERS Straightening of a joint
Supination - CORRECT ANSWERS movement that turns the palm up
Pronation - CORRECT ANSWERS turning the palm downward
long bones - CORRECT ANSWERS bones of the arms and legs/bones that are longer than they
are wide
short bones - CORRECT ANSWERS carpals and tarsals/bones of the wrist and ankles
flat bones - CORRECT ANSWERS These bones are thin, flat, and curved. They form the ribs,
breastbone, and skull.
irregular bones - CORRECT ANSWERS bones of the vertebrae and face
Lambdoidal suture) - CORRECT ANSWERS between the occipital and parietal bones
