Answer to Question 1

2
The corpus spongiosum surrounds the urethra. The corpus cavernosa lies near the top of the penis. The glans penis is the erectile tip of the penis, and the prepuce is the foreskin.

Answer to Question 2

2
Osteoclasts are responsible for resorption in the bone and work chemically through enzymatic and phagocytic action. Osteoblasts build bone. Osteocytes are mature bone cells, and osteomasts demineralize bone.
