Anatomy of Bones
Unit 5 Reading Guide Questions
Which minerals are stored in bones? Triglycerides, calcium phosphate, and calcium hydroxide are all stored in the bones as mineral salts
Which types of bones provides a large, flat surface area for muscle attachment? Flat bones such as the scapulae have large, flat surface area for muscle attachment.
Describe the location, composition, and function of the epiphyseal plate. The epiphyseal plate is located in the metaphysis, and is composed of hyaline cartilage, and is known as the growth plate. This allows the diaphysis of the bone to grow in length.
Which kind of bone marrow is in the spongy bone tissue? Red bone marrow is located in spongy bone tissue.
Which ossification method would form a femur? Endochondral ossification is involved with the formation of a femur.
Why is bone remodeling necessary when a person reaches adulthood? Remodeling renews osseous tissue before deterioration sets in and heals an injured bone by replacing the damaged tissue with new osseous tissue. New osseous tissue is less brittle and stronger than old tissue, and redistributes bone extracellular matrix along lines of mechanical stress.
Which marking of the skull articulates with the first cervical vertebra? The occipital condyle articulates with the first cervical vertebra.
Which bone forms the inferior part of the nasal septum? Perpendicular plate, ethmoid bone, vomer, and septa cartilage are all part of the nasal septum. The inferior part of the nasal septum is formed by the vomer.
How many bones make up the upper limbs? The upper limbs are composed by 30 bones each side. The humerus, ulna, radius, 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges all compose the upper limb.
Which part or parts of the femur articulate with the acetabulum at the hip joint? The acetabulum of the hip bone and the head of the femur articulate to form the hip
