Long bone Short bone Flat bone Irregular bone Sesamoid bone which of the following bones originates from dense fibeous connective tissue? stemum temporal bone femur cervical vertebrae humerus The epiphyscal plate of a long bone is made of which of these types of tissue? elastic cartilage hyaline cartilage fibrocartilage dense fibeous connective tissue loose areolar connective tissue This is a structure of a long bone that stores nutrients. Diaphysis Epiphysis Metaphysis Periosteum Marrow This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in the joint. Periosteum Distal epiphysis Nutrient foramen Articular cartilage Epiphyscal plat

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1). A). Osteon

The basic unit of Compact Bone is an "osteon", which is also known as a "Haversian System".

2).D). Osteoclast

An osteoclast is a type of bone cell that breaks down bone tissue.

3). C). Flat bone

The flat bones include the scapula (wingbone), the ribs, and the sternum(breastbone).

4). A). Sternum

5). B). hyaline cartilage

The epiphyseal plate (or epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.

6). E). Bone marrow

7). D). Articular cartilage

Articular cartilage is a thin layer of specialized connective tissue with unique viscoelastic properties. Its principal function is to provide a smooth, lubricated surface for low friction articulation and to facilitate the transmission of loads to the underlying subchondral bone.
