3/1/2021 WEEK 4: BONES AND CARTILAGE QUIZ - LECTURE: HUMAN HISTOLOGY

Correct!
Perichondrium

Chondrocytes of the injured cartilage

Stem cells circulating with blood

Adjacent loose connective tissue

Bone of the adjacent ribs and sternum

Question 2 1 / 1 pts

Cartilage that has perichondrium is:

Diaphyses

Fibrocartilage

Articular Cartilage

Correct!
Elastic Cartilage

Ephiphyses

Question 3 1 / 1 pts

It is a bone with parallel bundles of collagen in thin layers with regularly

spaced cells between?

Cancellous Bone

3/1/2021 WEEK 4: BONES AND CARTILAGE QUIZ - LECTURE: HUMAN HISTOLOGY

Woven Bone

Compact Bone

Correct! Lamellar Bone

Question 4 1 / 1 pts

A 66-year-old man who suffered from severe osteoarthritis is referred to

an orthopedic surgeon for replacement of his right knee. He had been
actively involved in both high school and intercollegiate football and had
continued running until about the age of 45 as a form of relaxation and
exercise. With the patient’s permission the removed joint is used by
investigators performing a proteomic analysis of different joint tissues.
The meniscus was found to contain almost exclusively type I collagen and
aggrecan was undetectable. What is the most likely explanation for this
result?

The meniscus normally consists of fibrocartilage, which con- tains only

type I collagen

Elastic cartilage is normally replaced by fibrocartilage during aging and this

process can be accelerated by exercise

Osteoarthritic injury in the knee resulted in the chondrocytes of the

meniscus switching from expression of genes for type II collagen to type I
collagen

3/1/2021 WEEK 4: BONES AND CARTILAGE QUIZ - LECTURE: HUMAN HISTOLOGY

The meniscus normally consists of dense regular connective tissue, which

contains primarily type I collagen

Correct!
The meniscus had undergone repeated rounds of repair due to wear-and-
tear during which its hyaline cartilage component was replaced by dense
connective tissue

Question 5 0 / 1 pts

It is the type of cell that maintains the structural integrity of the mineralized
matrix.

orrect Answer
Osteocytes

Osteon

ou Answered Osteoblasts

Osteoclasts

Question 6 1 / 1 pts

True or False?

Type II collagen, aggrecan, and darker elastic fibers are the main features
of the extracellular matrix of Hyaline Cartilage.

https://feu.instructure.com/courses/66922/quizzes/586946 4/9
3/1/2021 WEEK 4: BONES AND CARTILAGE QUIZ - LECTURE: HUMAN HISTOLOGY

True

Correct!
False

Question 7 1 / 1 pts

Which of the following incorrectly describes intramembranous

ossification?

The collagen fibers of developing bone are randomly arranged in

interlacing bundles

Synthesis and secretion of osteoid at multiple centers of ossification is

followed by mineralization of osteoid.

It occurs within membranes of condensed, primitive mesenchymal tissue

Correct!
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteocytes

Question 8 1 / 1 pts

A 25-year-old man presents with persistent joint pain and a history of

recurrent fractures of each humerus. His hematocrit and complete blood
count (CBC) are normal, but blood calcium levels are high. Hormone
levels are all within normal ranges except PTH that exceeds normal by

threefold. Which if the following could be prescribed to offset the effects of

the elevated PTH?

Vitamin D

Correct!
Calcitonin

Vitamin C

Vitamin B12

Growth Hormone

Question 9 1 / 1 pts

The molecular basis for the shock absorbing properties of cartilage

involves which of the following?

Correct!
Hydration of glycosaminoglycans

Electrostatic interaction of proteoglycans with type IV collagen

Ability of glycosaminoglycans to bind anions

Sialic acid residues in the glycoproteins

Question 10 1 / 1 pts

amounts of dense connective tissue. True or False?

Correct! True

Question 11 1 / 1 pts

It is the zone consists of typical hyaline cartilage with chondrocytes

arranged in small clusters surrounded by a large amount of moderately
stained matrix.

Zone of Maturation

Correct!
