Chapter 7 Study Set

These are the practice questions that we have created for this chapter. The form will grade itself, and show you any mistakes. These are different practice questions than you see in SI Review and in class!

AARC Videos

Skeletal System Structures

This video describes the four structures of the Skeletal System.

Cartilage vs. Bone

This video differentiates between cartilage and bone.

Cartilage Cells

This video illustrates the roles of chondroblasts and chondrocytes.

The Basics of Bones

This video analyzes the functions of bone, the gross anatomy of the long bone and more!

Bone Composition

This video breaks down the composition of bone including it's organic and inorganic parts.

Cartilage Growth

This video summarizes the interstitial and appositional growth processes for cartilage.

Cytology of Bone

This video defines osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts.

Intramembranous Ossification

This video visualizes the process that makes bones without a medullary cavity (flat bones).

Endochondral Ossification

This video details the process by which bones with a medullary cavity are made.

Bone Growth

This video details how bone increases in both width and length.

Blood Calcium and Hormones

This video looks at bone resorption and its effect on blood calcium levels.

Bone Remodelling

This video analyzes bone remodelling and how diet, hormones and mechanical stress impact it.

Ways to Remember Concepts:

Bone Matrix Composition

To the left, there is a concept map covering the composition of bone matrix that Mallory wrote out. We'd be happy to draw it again for you at SIR or walk-in hour!
