Level#1

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals form the foods you eat.

1. What two things do cells do to bone tissue?

2. What is released form bone, when it is broken down, for use inside of the body?

3. How does the body replace the minerals that are lost form bone when it is broken down?

Level#2

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals form the foods you eat. The building up and breaking down of your bones changes the size and shape of your bones as you age. At some point in your life, you may go through "an awkward stage" because of the way your bones grow. The first bones to grow quickly are usually your foot bones. Then, your arm and hand bones grow quickly.

1. What two jobs do cells do to change how bones grow?

2. What happens when bone tissue is broken down and how does the body replace the minerals bones lose during this process?

3. Because your bones do not grow at the same time, what does this cause?

Level#3

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals form the foods you eat. The building up and breaking down of your bones changes the size and shape of your bones as you age. At some point in your life, you may go through "an awkward stage" because of the way your bones grow. The first bones to grow quickly are usually your foot bones. Then, your arm and hand bones grow quickly. Because of this uneven growth, arms, hands, and feet may look too big for the rest of the body. This does not last long. After a while, the rest of the body catches up.

1. Explain what happens when bone is broken down and what the body does to replace the minerals that are lost in this process.

2. Explain what the building up and breaking down of bones causes.

3. Explain what happens as a result of the uneven growth of certain parts of the body.

Level#1

The centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones are not as hard as compact bones. These softer parts of bone are called spongy bone. They even look like sponges because they are filled with many spaces. The spaces are filled with connective tissue and blood vessels.

1. What is the name of the softer parts of bone?

2. What does spongy bone look like?

3. What are the spaces in spongy bone filled with?

Level#2

The centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones are not as hard as compact bones. These softer parts of bone are called spongy bone. They even look like sponges because they are filled with many spaces. The spaces are filled with connective tissue and blood vessels. Although they are softer than compact bones, spongy bones are quite strong. The space in them form a support structure that is lightweight. Spongy bones provide support to areas in bones where there is great pressure and stress.

1. How are the centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones different form compact bones?

2. Describe the inside of spongy bones.

3. List three specific ways that make spongy bone unique.

Level#3

The centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones are not as hard as compact bones. These softer parts of bone are called spongy bone. They even look like sponges because they are filled with many spaces. The spaces are filled with connective tissue and blood vessels. Although they are softer than compact bones, spongy bones are quite strong. The space in them form a support structure that is lightweight. Spongy bones provide support to areas in bones where there is great pressure and stress. The centers of your bones are filled with marrow. Marrow makes blood cells. Marrow is red or yellow in color. Red marrow is actively makes red blood cells. Yellow marrow is not active. It is found in the center of long bones. Yellow marrow is made mostly of fat cells.

1. Explain what spongy bone looks like and has inside of it.

2. Explain the unique structure of spongy bone to a person who knows nothing about it.

3. Explain where marrow is found, what it can look like, and the differences between red and yellow marrow.
