Question

question 5
herneated disc results from
degeneration of intervertebral foramena
swelling of tendon
all of the above
degeneration of intervertebral disc

question 6
the reabsorption of bone matrix is a function of the:
osteocytes
osteoblasts
fibroblasts
osteoclasts

Explanation:

Question 5

A herniated disc (note: likely a typo "Herneated" for "Herniated") occurs when the intervertebral disc degenerates, causing the disc material to protrude. Intervertebral foramena degeneration is not the cause, and tendon swelling is unrelated to disc herniation. So the correct cause is degeneration of the intervertebral disc.

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone matrix resorption (breaking down bone). Osteocytes maintain bone, osteoblasts build bone, and fibroblasts are for connective tissue repair, not bone resorption.

Answer:

degeneration of intervertebral disc
