Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The repetitive stress on the long bones from breaking concrete will cause them to be remodeled and strengthened. This is due to the body's natural response to stress, which is to increase the density and strength of bones to better withstand future stress. However, options A and D are incorrect as they refer to changes in cartilage and marrow, respectively, which are not directly impacted by the stress of breaking concrete but can still benefit from exercise in general. Option B refers to the haversian canal system, which is involved in the blood supply to bones, but does not explain how breaking concrete specifically benefits bone strength.
