QUESTION 1"If a thyroid tumor secreted an excessive amount of calcitonin, you would expect:" an elevated level of osteoclast activity an elevated level of osteoblast activity an elevated level of bone resorption a rise in blood calcium concentration a reduction in bone deposition QUESTION 2"In compact bones, osteoclasts would most likely be found in the:" periosteum articular cartilage bone matrix central canal QUESTION 3"In long bones, osteoblasts would most likely be found in the:" endosteum articular cartilage bone matrix osteon QUESTION 4A fracture in the end of a long bone would be a break in the: metaphysis epiphysis diaphysis articular cartilage QUESTION 5Blood concentration of ____ will increase with bone resorption (breakdown). Ca++ K+ Na+ all of these QUESTION 6Bone formation (making bone tissue) is usually referred to as: osteomyelitis osteoporosis ossification rickets QUESTION 7Bone is strong because of protein fibers found in the matrix. Protein malnutrition (starvation) will cause the bones to shatter (break) more easily/ both statements are false the first statement is false, the second is true both statements are true the first statement is true, the second is false QUESTION 8Bones and muscle are similar in that: they both contain cells they require a blood supply to maintain homeostasis over time they can change size to meet the bodies needs all of these are correct QUESTION 9Endochondral ossification is a process that occurs during formation of the flat bones of the skull. True False QUESTION 10Hemopoiesis (blood cell formation) typically occurs in the: epiphyseal plate red bone marrow yellow bone marrow red and yellow bone marrow
