Q

Appositional Growth

A

Growth in diameter and thickness of bone

32
Q

Intramembranous Ossification at Surface

A
  1. Osteoblasts in periosteum deposit matrix
  2. Once matrix hardens(calcification), cells become osteocytes
  3. Circumferential lamellae are formed

Osteoclasts widen medullary cavity

33
Q

How do bones remodel themselves?

A

Absorption (eating) of old bone and deposition (producing) of new bone

34
Q

Wolf’s Law of Bone

A

Bone shape is determined by mechanical stress
Bone adapts to withstand stress
Form follows function

35
Q

Nutritional Factors of Bone

Calcium and Phosphate

A

Raw materials for calcified ground substance

36
Q

Nutritional Factors of Bone

What does Vitamin A do?

A

Promotes formation of glycosaminoglycans (protein-carb fibers)

37
Q

Nutritional Factors of Bone

Vitamin C

A

(Ascorbic Acid)
Promotes collagen cross-linking

38
Q

Nutritional Factors of Bone

What is Vitamin D needed for?

Lack of Vitamin D causes?

A

(Calcitriol)
Necessary for calcium absorption by small intestine and reduces urinary calcium loss

Lack of vitamin D leads to unablity to absorb calcium, leads to weak bones

39
Q

Hormonal Factors

Calcitonin

A
  • Secreted by thyroid gland
  • Stimulated osteoblasts in children and pregnant women
40
Q

Hormonal Factors

Growth Hormone

A
  • Promotes intestinal absorption of Calcium
  • Stimulates growth plates and bone elongation
41
Q

Hormonal Factors

Estrogen and Testosterone

A

Stimulate long bone growth during adolescence

42
Q

Hormonal Factors

Parathyroid Hormone

A
  • secrete by parathyroid gland
  • stimulates bone reabsorption to boost level of calcium in blood
43
Q

Osteopenia

A
  • Loss of bone
  • Bone absorption is fastor that Bone deposition
  • Fractures are more common, heal slowly
44
Q

What happens to bones after age 35?

A

Osteoblasts are less active than osteoclasts

45
Q

What happens to bones after age 40?

A
  • Women lose 8% of bone mass per decade
  • Men lose 3% of bone mass per decade
46
Q

71
Q

Structural Disorders of Bone

Acromegaly

A

Hypersecretion of adult growth hormone
Results in thicking of bones and soft tissues, noticable in faces, hands, and feet
