7. What are functional relationships between compact and spongy bone? Spongy bone resists stress from many directions/compact bone is extremely strong when stressed along the axis of alignment
Spongy bone is strong along its main axis/compact bone resists stress from many directions
Both spongy and compact bone resist stresses from all angles except a sudden force to the side of the bone

13. How is bone remodeling accomplished? Osteoblasts form new bone matrix.
Osteocytes remove and replace calcium salts.
Osteoclasts are not active, thus producing stronger bone.
1 and 2.
Answer: 4Answer: 4
14. Why were some people sickened by radioactivity years after the Chernobyl accident? Osteoclasts do not differentiate between heavy metals and calcium
Turnover of bone matrix caused release of stored radiation into circulation
