Scapula: Flat bone Carpal bone: Short bone Femur: Long bone Vertebrae: Irregular bone Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used. Appositional growth occurs within the periosteum. In this process, osteoblasts in the inner cellular layer of the periosteum produce and deposit bone matrix within layers parallel to the surface, called external circumferential lamellae. These lamellae are analogous to tree rings: As they increase in number, the structure increases in diameter. Thus, the bone becomes wider as new bone is laid down at its periphery. As this new bone is being laid down, osteoclasts along the medullary cavity resorb bone matrix, creating an expanding space. Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used. Bone marrow is the soft connective tissue of bone that includes red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow. Red bone marrow is hematopoietic (forms blood cells) and contains reticular connective tissue, immature blood cells, and fat. In children, red bone marrow is located in the spongy bone of most of the bones in the body as well as the medullary cavity of long bones. Much of the red bone marrow degenerates and turns into yellow bone marrow as children mature into adults. As a result, adults have red bone marrow only in selected portions of the axial skeleton. Some of these include the flat bones of the skull, the vertebrae, the ribs, the sternum, and the hip bones. Complete each sentence by dragging the proper word or phrase into the appropriate position. Not all terms will be used. When levels of blood calcium decrease , parathyroid hormone is released from the four nodular parathyroid glands located on the posterior thyroid. Parathyroid hormone causes an increase in the number of osteoclasts and greater rates of bone resorption. At the level of the kidney, parathyroid hormone will decrease the amount of calcium excreted by increasing reabsorption from the kidney tubules. Parathyroid hormone increases the renal conversion of cholecalciferol to calcidiol , which secondarily works to increase calcium levels in the blood. Inhibition of osteoblasts by parathyroid hormone occurs as a result of a decreased production of organic matrix. As a result of direct actions on the target cells of the bone and kidneys along with an indirect action on the small intestine (calcitriol), parathyroid hormone works to increase blood calcium levels. Which step in the formation of calcitriol is regulated by parathyroid hormone? A. Conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to Vitamin D3 B. Conversion of Vitamin D3 to calcidiol C. Conversion of calcidiol to calcitriol D. Conversion of calcidiol to cholecalciferol Complete each sentence by dragging the proper word or phrase into the appropriate position. Not all terms will be used. The bones of the skeleton provide structure to the body and serve as a support to hold up the body and maintain proper positioning of some organs. The skull, pelvis, ribs, vertebral column, and sternum provide protection to many delicate organs of the body by encasing them in hardened shell-like or caged structures. The movement of the entire skeleton or skeletal elements utilizes the anchoring of muscles to attachment sites on the bones, which then serve as levers. Minerals can be stored in the skeleton, which acts as a reservoir, storing or releasing minerals as needed to maintain electrolyte balance throughout the body.

Cingulate gyrus – Focuses on emotionally significant events 2. Parahippocampal gyrus – Function is associated with the hippocampus 3. Hippocampus – Essential for the formation of long-term memory 4. Amygdaloid body – Involved in emotion, especially fear Damage to the ventral root of a spinal nerve would mean that the sensory input of the reflex arc would be interrupted. A) True B) False Correct order of events in a reflex arc: 1. A sensory receptor detects a stimulus 2. A sensory neuron conducts action potentials through the nerve to the spinal cord 3. The sensory neuron synapses with an interneuron 4. The interneuron synapses with a motor neuron 5. The motor neuron conducts action potentials through the anterior root and spinal nerve to an effector organ A monosynaptic reflex is the simplest of all reflexes. The sensory axons synapse directly on the motor neurons, whose axons project to the effector organ. Very minor synaptic delay is incurred in the single synapse of this reflex arc, resulting in a very prompt reflex response. A polysynaptic reflex has more complex neural pathways that exhibit a number of synapses involving interneurons within the reflex arc. Because this reflex arc has more components, a more prolonged delay occurs between stimulus and response. After leaving the intervertebral foramen (spinal nerve), a typical spinal nerve almost immediately splits into branches called rami (rami). The posterior (ramus) is the smaller of the two main branches. It innervates the deep muscles of the back (muscles) and the skin of the back. The anterior (ramus) is the larger of the two main branches. This splits into multiple other branches, which innervate the anterior and lateral portions of the trunk (trunk), the upper limbs, and the lower limbs. Many of the anterior rami go on to form nerve plexuses (plexuses). Most nervous system pathways share several general characteristics: Most pathways decussate (cross over) from one side of the body to the other side at some point in their travels. The term contralateral (contralateral) is used to indicate the relationship to the opposite side, whereas the term ipsilateral (ipsilateral) means the same side. All pathways are composed of paired tracts (tracts). A pathway on the left side of the CNS has a matching tract on the right side of the CNS. Most pathways are composed of a series of two or three neurons (neurons) that work together. Primary neurons, secondary neurons, and sometimes tertiary neurons are seen in sensory pathways (sensory pathways) that facilitate the pathway’s functioning. In contrast, motor pathways (motor pathways) use an upper motor neuron and a lower motor neuron. The cell bodies of these neurons are located in the nuclei (nuclei) associated with each pathway. The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the center (center), and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the anterior (anterior) horns, which innervate skeletal muscle. The cell bodies of autonomic motor neurons are found in the lateral (lateral) horns and innervate cardiac and smooth muscle, and glands. Left and right masses of gray matter (gray matter) are the posterior horns. The axons of sensory neurons (axons) and the cell bodies of interneurons (interneurons) are located in the posterior (posterior) horns. The gray commissure (gray commissure) is a horizontal bar of gray matter that surrounds a narrow central canal. Stepping on a piece of glass with the left foot will result in extension of the right leg to help maintain balance. This is an example of a(n) _________ reflex. A) Ipsilateral B) Contralateral Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used. Multiple anterior rootlets arise from the spinal cord and merge to form a single anterior (anterior) root, which contains motor (motor) axons only. These axons arise from cell bodies in the anterior and lateral (lateral) horns of the spinal cord. Posterior rootlets arise from a single posterior (posterior) root, which contains sensory (sensory) axons only. The cell bodies of these neurons are located in a posterior root ganglion (ganglion), which is within the posterior root. Each anterior root and its corresponding posterior root unite within the intervertebral foramen (foramen) to become a spinal nerve. White matter in the spinal cord is found surrounding the gray matter as well as within the lateral horns. A) True B) False Match the type of abnormal reflex with its description: 1. Hyperactive reflex – Reflex response is abnormally strong. 2. Hypoactive reflex – Reflex response is diminished or absent. Motor pathways are ascending pathways in the brain and spinal cord that control effectors. A) True B) False
