Bone Tissue and Cells Quiz

Compact bone is soft because it is not calcified.

Osteogenic cells give rise to osteocytes.

Osteoblasts secrete the bone matrix and deposit phosphate in it.

Osteocytes are large, multinucleated cells found in lacunae.

Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption.

Compact bone is mainly found in the epiphysis of long bones.

Compact bone is a specialized type of connective tissue with a soft matrix.

There are 3 types of bone cells.

Both compact and spongy bone contain type II collagen fibers.

Osteocytes can be found singly in lacunae with branches running in the Haversian canals.

Osteoclasts have a smooth border and primarily function in bone deposition.

Haversian canals are formed of concentric bone lamellae and run longitudinally.

Volkmann’s canals connect Haversian canals together and run longitudinally.

The outer layer of the periosteum is fibrous in nature.

Osteogenic cells give rise to osteoblasts.

Osteoblasts primarily function to maintain the bone matrix.

Osteogenic cells are found in both periosteum and endosteum.

Osteocytes have branches that run in the Volkmann's canals.

Compact bone is mainly composed of spongy bone.

Osteoclasts primarily function in bone deposition.

Haversian canals run longitudinally through the bone.

The outer layer of the periosteum is fibrous in nature and does not contain osteogenic cells.

Osteoblasts give rise to osteocytes.

Osteocytes can be found in lacunae within the Haversian canals.

Bone lamellae in compact bone contain Haversian systems.

Osteoclasts have a smooth border and primarily function in bone resorption.
