Question

question 4 1 pts the cells responsible for active erosion of bone minerals are called: osteocytes. osteoclasts. osteoblasts. osteomorphytes. question 5 1 pts a person with a fractured patella would expect discomfort in the: elbow. knee. head. ankle. question 6 1 pts bones grow in diameter by the combined action of which two of the three bone cell types? osteoblasts and osteocytes osteoblasts and osteoclasts osteoclasts and osteocytes osteocytes and osteons

Explanation:

• Question 4: Osteoclasts are responsible for bone - resorption, which involves the active erosion of bone minerals. Osteocytes are mature bone cells involved in maintaining bone matrix, osteoblasts build bone, and osteomorphytes are bony outgrowths.
• Question 5: The patella is the kneecap. So a fractured patella would cause discomfort in the knee.
• Question 6: Bones grow in diameter through appositional growth. Osteoblasts deposit new bone matrix on the outer surface of the bone, while osteoclasts resorb bone on the inner surface (endosteal surface) to maintain proper bone shape and density.

Answer:

• Question 4: osteoclasts
• Question 5: knee
• Question 6: osteoblasts and osteoclasts
