Concept explainers
The following events apply to the endochondral ossi�cation process as it
occurs in the primary ossi�cation center. Put these events in their proper order by
assigning each a number (1-6).
(a)
disintegrate, leaving cavities.
(b)
just deep to the periosteum.
(c)
(d)
becomes a periosteum.
(e)
within the diaphysis.
(f)
leaving a medullary cavity that then houses marrow.

- The partial displacement of a bone from its joint is known as_________________arrow_forwardThe hollow center of an osteon (Haversian system) provides space for what vital part of compact bone tissue? a. Marrow b. collagen fibers c. a blood vessel d. osteocytesarrow_forwardOsteocytes residing in lacunae of osteons of healthy compact bone are located quite a distance from the blood vessels in the central canals, yet they are well nourished. How can this be explained?arrow_forward
- At the age of 40, Diane had to undergo bilateral oophorectomy due to her high risk of developing ovarian cancer. Her surgeon explained that hormone replacement therapy is strongly advised to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. In Diane's case, explain the physiological process by which osteoporosis may occur.arrow_forwardAlmost all diseases affecting the human skeleton is due to the disproportionate activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. This homeostatic imbalance is driven in part by risk factors including poor dietary calcium intake. Explain the similarities and differences between the key characteristics of and risk factors for osteomalacia versus osteoporosis.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Wolff’s law is concerned with (a) calcium homeostasis of the blood, (b) the shape of a bone being determined by mechanical stresses placed on it, (c) the electrical charge on bone surfaces.arrow_forward
- Osteons I. are the fundamental functional unit of much spongy bone are aligned parallel to the long axis of the bone III. are cylindrical structures that contain a mineral matrix (lamellae) and living cells connected by canaliculi IV. they surround a canal containing blood vessels, nerves, and loose connective tissue (Haversian system) А. 1 ш В. П. IV С. IП, Ш D. П. Ш.

- For the process of endochondral ossification, describethe formation of the following structures: cartilagemodel, bone collar, calcified cartilage, primaryossification center, medullary cavity, secondaryossification center, epiphyseal plate, epiphyseal line,and articular cartilagearrow_forwardDisturbance of the balance in the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in favor of osteoclasts can give rise to the condition known as osteoporosis, the brittle-bone syndrome of the elderly. Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardIn detail, what is the normal process of osteogenesis for compact and spongy bone using the three different types of bone cells and their functions? Compare the different osteocytes in both compact and spongy cells are affected in osteoporosis. How does organic material like calcium and phosphorus are affected in osteoporosis.?arrow_forward
