All of the following processes continue in the skeletal system throughout the life span except: a. bones continue to lengthen b. stem cells continue to form new blood cells c. bones continue to be remodeled d. bones continue to store minerals (calcium and phosphorus)

Step 1
Bones continue to lengthen: This is not true for the entire lifespan. Bones stop growing in length after adolescence when the growth plates close. b. Stem cells continue to form new blood cells: This is true. Throughout our lives, stem cells in the bone marrow Show more…
