Bone Tissue Formation Processes Quiz

Osteoclasts are cells that break down bone tissue during remodeling.

Collagen forms the framework upon which mineralization occurs in bone.

Osteocytes maintain bone matrix and detect mechanical strain.

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the intestine.

Spongy bone contains trabeculae and provides strength with minimal weight.

Bone remodeling is the process of resorption followed by new bone formation.

Growth hormone stimulates longitudinal bone growth in children.

Parathyroid hormone stimulates osteoclasts to release calcium from bone.

Ossification is the process of bone formation by osteoblasts.

Appositional growth is the process of bone growth in width.

Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts, reducing blood calcium levels.

Estrogen stimulates osteoblasts, promoting bone formation.

Endochondral ossification replaces cartilage with bone during development.

Calcium phosphate is the main mineral component of bone.

Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones.

Osteoblasts are responsible for building bone tissue by secreting matrix.

Compact bone has lamellae arranged around central canals.

Cancellous bone is found in the ends of long bones and within flat bones.

Cancellous bone has an irregular lattice structure and is highly vascularized.
