UNIT 6 REVI Name Section Date Check Your Understanding Critical Thinking and Application Questions 1 Explain how the structure of each of the following relates to its function. a Compact bone: b Spongy bone: c Long bone: 2 A bone tumor disrupts the normal structure of osteons, replacing the organized rings with disorganized, irregular masses of bone. How will this affect the ability of a bone to perform its functions? 3 The maintenance of healthy bone depends upon the balance of osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Pre would happen if a osteoblast activity exceeded osteoclast activity. Introduction to the Skeletal System UNIT

Unit 2 Lesson 2: Osseous Tissue and Bone Structure 1. Name the five primary functions of the skeletal system. 2. Identify the six broad categories for classifying bone according to shape. 3. Define bone marking. 4. Mature bone cells are known as osteocytes, and bone-building cells are called osteoblasts, while bone-resorbing cells are called osteoclasts. 5. How would the compressive strength of bone be affected if the ratio of collagen to hydroxyapatite increased? 6. If the activity of osteoclasts exceeds the activity of osteoblasts in bone, how will the mass of the bone be affected?

Chapter 6 Assignment: Bone Tissues & the Skeletal System 1. List and describe three major functions of the skeletal system. (4 points) 2. Compare and contrast compact and spongy bone. Where can each be found? (4 points) 3. Describe the effects of exercise on bone tissue. (4 points) 4. During the early years of space exploration, our astronauts, who had been floating in space, would return to Earth showing significant bone loss dependent on how long they were in space. Discuss how this might happen and what could be done to alleviate this condition? (4 points) 5. An individual with very low levels of vitamin D presents themselves to you, complaining of seemingly fragile bones. Explain how these might be connected. What role does vitamin D play in terms of healthy bone structure, and what sources provide it? (4 points) 6. Describe the effects caused when the parathyroid gland fails to respond to calcium bound to its receptors. (4 points) 7. Define and explain the role of the three types of bone cells. (6 points) - Osteocytes - Osteoblasts - Osteoclasts
