Question

branching pieces of bone in spongy bone are called:

lamellae
trabeculae
lacunae

question 7
what tissue serves as the model for bones formed during endochondral ossification?

elastic connective tissue
dense fibrous connective tissue
fibrocartilage
hyaline cartilage

Explanation:

Identify branching pieces of spongy bone

Branching, needle-like pieces of bone in spongy (cancellous) bone are called trabeculae. Lamellae are concentric rings of bone matrix, and lacunæ are the small spaces containing osteocytes.

Identify the tissue model for endochondral ossification

Endochondral ossification is the process of bone development from a hyaline cartilage model. Most bones of the skeleton below the skull form via this pathway.

Answer:

Question 1

• lamellae
• trabeculae (Correct answer)
• lacunae

Question 2

• elastic connective tissue
• dense fibrous connective tissue
• fibrocartilage
• hyaline cartilage (Correct answer)
