Quiz: Introduction to the Skeletal System
Summary of quiz results:
Please review your answers below.
The human skeleton system accounts for about 50 percent of the body weight.
True
False
The skeleton protects the soft body parts. The fused bones of the cranium surround the brain to make it less vulnerable to injury.
True
False
When blood calcium levels decrease below normal, calcium is released from the bones so that there will be an adequate supply for metabolic needs.
True
False
Red marrow functions in the formation of red blood cells only.
True
False
An osteon consists of a central canal called the haversian canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings of matrix.
True
False
Compact bone consists of plates and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow.
True
False
Intramembrane ossification involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bony tissue.
True
False
Even though bones stop growing in length in early adulthood, they can continue to increase in thickness or diameter throughout life in response to stress from increased muscle activity or to weight.
True
False
Long bones are primarily compact bone but may have a large amount of spongy bone at the ends or extremities.
True
False
Short bones consist primarily of spongy bone, which is covered by a thin layer of compact bone.
True
False
