Stack #68204
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| osteoporosis | common disorder in the elderly, decrease in estrogen levels leads to decrease in bone mass, common occurence of fractures. |
| estrogen | hormone that helps keep bones strong |
| Premature Osteoporosis | occurs when women experience prolonged menstrual irregularity, caused by extreme dieting or exercise, can affect calcium intake which then limits bone building in the body. |
| dynamic tissue | continually being remodeled, new bone being built, while old bone is broken down and reabsorped. |
| bone | each is an individual organ, made up of many different tissue. |
| bone structure | bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, blood vessel tissue, adipose, and nervous tissue, all work together. |
| skeletal system | made up of bone, cartilage and their ligaments. |
| function of bone/skeletal system | supports, protects, provides movement, blood cell formation, and triglycerid storage. |
| skeletal support | provides and internal framework, supports and anchors soft organs |
| skeletal protection | bones that protect internal organs |
| skeletal movement | muscle attach to bones by tendons. when muscle contract it moves the body parts by pulling on the bone. |
| skeletal bloodcell formation | occurs in red bone marrow, produces rbc's, wbc's and platelets called hemopoiasis For adults this only happens in certain bones(due to yellow marrow with age). pelvis, ribs, sternum. For infants it happens in all bones.(due to all bones have red marrow) |
| skeletal storage | red bone marrow turns to yellow with increasing age, mainly adipose cells. |
