6. Bones & Skeletal Tissue

If a person's spongy bone were all replaced by compact bone, how may that affect the function of their bones and skeleton?

The part of the epiphysis that does not ossify during a person's lifetime is the:

a. articular surface

b.secondary ossification center

c.diaphyseal notch

d.nutrient foramen.

Correctly order the following steps of bone growth in length, by placing a 1 by the first step, a 2 by the second step, and so on.

______Calcified cartilage is replaced with bone in the zone of ossification.                   

______Chondrocytes in the zone of proliferation divide by mitosis.                   

______Chondrocytes enter the zone of calcification and die as their matrix calcifies.                   

______Chondrocytes enlarge and cease dividing.
