Question 1

The structure of the bone where growth occurs is the&#10;A) diaphysis.&#10;B) medullary canal.&#10;C) endosteum.&#10;D) epiphyseal plate.

Accepted Answer

The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is the area of the bone where growth occurs. The diaphysis is the long, middle part of the bone, while the medullary canal is the hollow space within the diaphysis that contains bone marrow. The endosteum is the lining of the medullary canal and the spaces in spongy bones.

Question 2

The membrane that surrounds the bone and contains nerves and blood vessels is the&#10;A) epiphysis.&#10;B) periosteum.&#10;C) medullary canal.&#10;D) metaphysis.

Accepted Answer

The periosteum is the membrane that surrounds the bone and contains nerves and blood vessels. The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, the medullary canal is the cavity within the diaphysis of a long bone that contains bone marrow, and the metaphysis is the region of a long bone where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis.

Question 3

A bone marking that consists of a sharp ridge or border is called a&#10;A) foramen.&#10;B) crest.&#10;C) head.&#10;D) fossa.

Accepted Answer

A crest is a prominent, sharp ridge or border on a bone, such as the iliac crest on the hip bone. A foramen is a hole or opening in bone, a head is a rounded process of a bone that articulates with another bone, and a fossa is a shallow depression or hollow on a bone.

Question 4

The scapula is an example of which type of bone?&#10;A) Short&#10;B) Flat&#10;C) Irregular&#10;D) Sesamoid

Accepted Answer

The scapula is a flat bone that serves as the attachment site for many of the muscles that move the arm and shoulder, and it also contributes to the structure and stability of the shoulder joint.

Question 5

A bone marking that consists of a hollow or depression is called a&#10;A) foramen.&#10;B) crest.&#10;C) head.&#10;D) fossa.

Accepted Answer

A fossa is a shallow depression or hollow in a bone marking. A foramen is a hole in a bone, a crest is a ridge on a bone, and a head is a rounded projection on a bone.

Question 6

Which of the following is a function of the skeletal system?&#10;A) Gives shape and support&#10;B) Protects vital organs&#10;C) Manufactures blood cells&#10;D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

The skeletal system has several functions, including giving shape and support to the body, protecting vital organs, and manufacturing blood cells in the bone marrow.

Question 7

A bone marking that consists of a hole through which vessels,nerves,and ligaments pass is called a&#10;A) foramen.&#10;B) crest.&#10;C) head.&#10;D) fossa.

Accepted Answer

A foramen is a bone marking that consists of a hole through which vessels, nerves, and ligaments pass. A crest is a ridge on a bone, a head is a rounded end of a bone, and a fossa is a depression or hollow area on a bone.

Question 8

Which type of bone makes up the dense,hard outer shell?&#10;A) Compact bone&#10;B) Cancellous bone&#10;C) Marrow&#10;D) Periosteum

Accepted Answer

Compact bone makes up the dense, hard outer shell of bones. It provides strength and protection to bones. Cancellous bone, also known as spongy bone, is found inside the bones and is less dense. Marrow refers to the soft tissue found inside bones and periosteum is the outer layer around bones.

Question 9

The type of bone that makes up most of the appendicular skeleton is the&#10;A) irregular bone.&#10;B) flat bone.&#10;C) long bone.&#10;D) sesamoid bone.

Accepted Answer

Long bones, such as the bones in the arms and legs, make up the majority of the appendicular skeleton. Irregular bones, flat bones, and sesamoid bones are present in the skeleton, but they are not as numerous as long bones in the appendicular skeleton.

Question 10

A skeletal pathology characterized by pain in the knee area due to issues with traction epiphysis is which of the following?&#10;A) Osgood-Schlatter disease&#10;B) Slipped femoral capital epiphysis&#10;C) Osteoporosis&#10;D) Osteomyelitis

Accepted Answer

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a skeletal pathology that typically affects adolescents who participate in activities that involve a lot of jumping or running. It is caused by a traction apophysitis or inflammation of the bone where the patellar tendon attaches to the tibia. This can lead to pain and swelling in the knee area. Slipped femoral capital epiphysis, osteoporosis, and osteomyelitis are not typically associated with knee pain specifically due to traction epiphysis issues.

Question 11

A bone marking that consists of a rounded anterior projection is called a&#10;A) foramen.&#10;B) crest.&#10;C) head.&#10;D) fossa.

Accepted Answer
