Question 5

Bones of the skeleton are connected at junctions called .&#10;A)axials&#10;B)appendiculars&#10;C)associations&#10;D)articulations

Bones of the skeleton are connected at junctions called articulations, which is another term for joints. These allow for movement and flexibility between bones.

Question 6

This is the most common type of skeletal cartilage.&#10;A)hyaline&#10;B)fibrocartilage&#10;C)elastic

Accepted Answer

Hyaline cartilage is the most common type of skeletal cartilage, found in areas such as the nose, trachea, and at the ends of long bones where it reduces friction in joints.

Question 7

The skeleton is constructed of two types of tissue, _ .&#10;A)dense connective tissue and bone&#10;B)nervous and bone&#10;C)muscle and bone&#10;D)bone and cartilage

Accepted Answer

The skeleton is constructed of two types of tissue: bone and cartilage. Bone provides the hard structure that supports the body, while cartilage covers the ends of bones at joints to facilitate smooth movement and also forms structures such as the nose and ears.

Question 8

Which of the cartilage types below is matched correctly to it body location?&#10;A)elastic; at the ends of the bones where they form joints&#10;B)hyaline; between bodies of vertebrae&#10;C)fibrocartilage; meniscus of the knee

Accepted Answer

Fibrocartilage is indeed found in the meniscus of the knee, providing support and absorbing shock between the femur and tibia. Elastic cartilage is found in structures like the ear, not at the ends of bones, and hyaline cartilage, not fibrocartilage, covers the ends of bones in joints. The intervertebral discs, which are between the bodies of vertebrae, contain fibrocartilage, not hyaline cartilage.

Question 9

How is formation of blood related to the skeleton?&#10;A)Cavities in bone provide a site for the red marrow to produce blood.&#10;B)Bone tissue produces blood.&#10;C)The skeleton is not related to blood formation.

Accepted Answer

Red marrow, found in the cavities of certain bones, is a primary site for hematopoiesis, the process of blood cell formation, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Question 10

Which of the following bone markings helps form joints?&#10;A)fossa&#10;B)crest&#10;C)head&#10;D)epicondyle

Accepted Answer

The "head" is a bone marking that helps form joints, as it is typically a rounded articular surface found at the end of a bone, allowing for articulation with another bone.

Question 11
