Which bones form by intramembranous ossification?
flat bones
What is the first step of intramembranous ossification?
an ossification center develops when mesenchymal cells move in and become osteoprogenitor cells
During intramembranous ossification, osteoblasts surround the ossification center and start to create:
osteoid
What happens to the osteoid during intramembranous ossification?
it is calcified into bone
During intermembranous ossification, after the trabeculae form and the periosteum develops, the outer layers are remodeled into:
compact bone
Which bones form by endochondral ossification?
long bones, irregular bones
What type of tissue serves as a model for bone formation during endochondral ossification?
hyaline cartilage
The process by which dermal tissue becomes bone is known as:
intermembranous ossification
Where is the primary ossification center in a long bone?
in the center of the diaphysis of the hyaline model
Where are the secondary ossification centers in a long bone?
one in each epiphysis
The cells of a hyaline model contain _______ which build cartilage and allow the model to enlarge.
chondroblasts
True or False: Early in the endochondral ossification process, a thick layer of bone forms along the epiphysis.
False - early in the endochondral ossification process a thin layer forms along the diaphysis
True or False: After the central parts of the hyaline model have become calcified, the primary ossification center begins to form the first significant bone.
True
During endochondral ossification, spongy bone is remodeled into compact bone around the:
medullary cavity
True or False: The secondary ossification centers form spongy bone in the epiphysis.
True
True or False: During endochondral ossification, the epiphyseal plate is formed out of compact bone.
False - the epiphyseal plate is formed out of hyaline cartilage
List the four zones of cartilage found at the actively growing epiphyseal plate.
zone of resting cartilage
zone of proliferating cartilage
zone of hypertrophic cartilage
zone of calcified cartilage
This zone attaches the underlying cartilage layers to the ephiysis and does not actively grow.
zone of resting cartilage
In this zone, chondrocytes are dividing and thickening the layer.
zone of proliferating cartilage
The zone in which chondrocytes increase in size is known as the:
zone of hypertrophic cartilage
The transition from cartilage to bone takes place in which zone of the epiphyseal plate?
zone of calcified cartilage
True or False: As bone length increases, layers of matrix are added around the circumference to increase bone mass.
True
True or False: As long as new cartilage growth and calcification happen at the same rate, your bones will continue to grow in length.
True
What will happen when bone calcification overtakes the rate of cartilage formation.
the epiphyseal plate turns into bone and growth stops
The process of breaking down Ca+2 and sending it to the blood stream is called:
resporption
Deposition of Ca+2 from the blood into the bone matrix is performed by which bone cell?
osteoblasts
If osteoclast activity is greater that osteoblast activity, your bones will:
weaken
Bones that become heavier, denser, and more mineralized are due to the fact that osteoblast activity is _______ than osteoclast activity.
greater
The substance needed for bone mineralization is:
calcium
The substance your body requires for the proper absorption of calcium is:
calcitrol, or vitamin D
What vitamin is needed for collagen synthesis?
vitamin C
Which vitamin is essential for osteoblast function?
vitamin A
These two vitamins are needed for synthesizing bone proteins and also play a role in the production of collagen.
vitamin B12
vitamin K
These two hormones play a role in the growth of bones during childhood and puberty.
thyroid hormone
growth hormone
Which hormone will be synthesized when blood calcium levels are high?
calcitonin
Which hormone will be secreted when blood calcium is low?
parathyroid hormone
Calcitonin stimulates a series of responses designed to _______ blood calcium levels.
lower
Parathyroid hormone stimulates a series of responses designed to _______ blood calcium levels.
raise
List the four physiological responses to calcitonin discussed in class.
osteoclast function inhibited

List the four physiological responses to parathyroid hormone discussed in class.
osteoclast function stimulated
osteoblast function inhibited
kidneys decrease calcium absorption
intestines increase rate of calcium absorption
List the three methods of bone fracture classification discussed in class.
external appearance
