Worked practice questions

The soft tissue filling the interior of most bones is called bone:

  1. Marrow
  2. Mortar
  3. Mantle
  4. Matting
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Marrow

1. It sits inside the hard shell. 2. It comes in yellow and red forms. 3. That tissue is bone marrow. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 6, Bone Tissue and the Skeletal System._

Bone marrow comes in how many types, yellow and red?

  1. Nine
  2. Two
  3. Ten
  4. Six
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Two

1. One stores fat. 2. The other makes blood cells. 3. So there are two types. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 6, Bone Tissue and the Skeletal System._

Fat stored for energy is found in which marrow?

  1. Yellow
  2. Yielding
  3. Yearly
  4. Yonder
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Yellow

1. Adipose tissue fills it. 2. Triglycerides are stored there. 3. That is yellow marrow. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 6, Bone Tissue and the Skeletal System._
