Answer to Question 1

C
Osteoblasts repair damaged bone and build new bones, which would be needed for the patient with fractured bone. Osteoclasts are specialized cells that break down old or damaged bone, laying the groundwork for the osteoblasts to build a new, stronger foundation of bone. Amphiarthrosis is a type of joint that allows for limited movement. Articular cartilage is connective tissue found in the joints and skeleton.

Answer to Question 2

D
Older adults should do exercises that maintain or improve balance if they are at risk of falling. Older adults should follow the adult guidelines, which are for 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity. Aerobic activity should be performed in periods of at least 10 minutes, preferably spread throughout the week. If this is not possible because of limiting chronic conditions, older adults should be as physically active as their abilities allow. They should avoid inactivity. Structured calisthenics programs are no more beneficial for achieving health benefits than other forms of moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity. Structured fitness programs can become boring for some individuals. A varied routine often improves compliance and consistency of exercise.
