layers of compact bone.

Sensory nerves innervate which parts of a bone?

Which of the following tissues is found in the fewest body locations?

During early embryonic development, cartilage grows both internally and along
its periphery. The former is called ____________ growth; the latter,
____________.

One of the main differences between the two growth patterns of cartilage is the
source of new

Chondrocytes die and stem cells in the perichondrium form osteoblasts during
which of these processes?

Calcification occurs in ____________ during dermal ossification but in
____________ during endochondral ossification.

A layer of dense irregular connective tissue typically covers all of the
following except

Which of the following is not a function of periosteum?

Osteons are to dense bone as ____________ are to cancellous
bone.

By interconnecting the lacunae and the blood supply, ____________ allow
osteocytes to transfer nutrients and wastes through an otherwise impenetrable
solid matrix.

Arrange the following from lowest to highest in terms of their contribution to
the mass of bone tissue: (1) collagen fibers; (2) osteocytes, osteoblasts, and
osteoclasts; and (3) calcium phosphate.

What change in physical structure would result from an excess of organic
components relative to the amount of hydroxyapatite in the matrix of a bone?

A major difference between compact and spongy bone is that

During bone remodeling, if the rate of osteolysis exceeds the rate of
osteogenesis, the bone becomes

the ends of the bones in the wing and drumstick are smooth, featureless, and
covered with a thick cap of cartilage. What is the most likely explanation?

Lengthwise bone growth involves the final steps of

In interstitial bone growth, what happens when the zone of ossification
overtakes the zone of resting cartilage?

____________ is a continual, hormonally controlled process that is essentially a
race between osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
