when daily calcium intake is insufficient, calcium stores are compromised and ____ declines over time
bone mineral density
low BMD leads to
osteopenia
if osteopenia is untreated, it leads to
osteoporosis
osteoporosis
bone disease which causes skeletal structures to become brittle and fragile
osteoporosis can lead to
fractures, disability
2 segments of skeleton
axial, appendicular
axial skeleton
skull, hyoid, vertebral column, rib cage
appendicular skeleton
limbs and respective girdles
bone length increases until
cartilage is ossified in the epiphyseal plates
peak bone mass is attained at age
18
transverse cartilage plates located near the end of long bones
epiphyseal plate
epiphyseal plates are responsible for
increases in vertical growth during childhood/adolescence
long bones
arms and legs
short bones
hands and feet
