All of the choices are correct – correct


As the bone matrix calcifies and the secreting cells become walled in:

osteoblasts become osteocytes. – correct
osteogenic progenitors become osteoclasts.
osteoblasts become osteoclasts.
osteoclasts become osteocytes


What gives bone its flexibility?

Inorganic salts
Yellow bone marrow
Collagen fibers- correct
Trabeculae
Elastic fibers


Osteoid is the:

organic part of the bone matrix that gives it rigidity.
organic part of the bone matrix that gives it tensile strength. – correct
inorganic part of the bone matrix that gives it rigidity.
inorganic part of the bone matrix that gives it tensile strength.


What gives bone its compressional strength?

Yellow bone marrow
Reticular fibers
Inorganic salts – correct
Red bone marrow
Endosteum


If a bone is immersed in a weak acid such as vinegar for several days, its inorganic components will dissolve. What will be the result of such an experiment?

The bone will dissolve completely.
The compact bone will dissolve, leaving only the inner spongy bone.
The bone will become extremely brittle.
The bone will become soft and bendable. – correct
The spongy bone will dissolve, leaving only the outer compact bone.


What would be the effect on bone growth of insufficient dietary calcium?

There would be no effect, since the body is able to synthesize calcium.
The matrix would be softer. – correct
The bone would be less flexible.
The epiphyseal plates would ossify earlier in development.
There would be increased formation of spongy bone.


What are the matrix rings of compact bone that surround the central canal of each osteon?

Canaliculi
Concentric lamellae – correct
Circumferential lamellae
Perforating canals
Interstitial lamellae


In compact bone, ___________ connect adjacent lacunae, thereby providing pathways for nutrients and other materials to pass between osteocytes.

osteonic canals
blood vessels
lamellae
canaliculi – correct
perforating canals
