| Both osteoclasts and osteoblasts are involved in the shaping of the bones. T or F | True |
| Bones are prone to fracture in old age due to loss of protein fibers. T or F? | True |
| Physical activity tends to weaken bones due to the removal of calcium salts. T or F? | False |
| A passage way into the bone through wich blood vessels or neves pass is a/an? | Foramen |
| Condyle | Rounded knuckle like formation |
| What bones make up the cranium? | Frontal bone, Parietal bones (2), Occipital bone, Sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, Temporal bones (2) |
