Question
Answer
Bone remodeling fact   -occurs throughout life -allows older mineral deposits to be released from home into bloodstream  
🗑
What happens if removal of bone is faster than replacement?   Bones weaken  
🗑
What does bone remodeling involve (workers)   -osteocytes, osteoblasts & osteoclasts  
🗑
If bone rebuilding predominates (example: working out) what happens?   Bones strengthen  
🗑
Is bone turnover rate high or low?   High  
🗑
What are the effects of exercise on bone?   -they adapt to stress -they become thicker and stronger -it stimulates osteoblasts (bone builders)  
🗑
Bone degeneration   -bone degenerates quickly -up to 1/3 of bone Mass can be lost in a few weeks of inactivity  
🗑
What minerals are required for bone health?   -calcium -phosphorus -magnesium -fluoride -iron -manganese  
🗑
Vitamin C affect on bone   Is required for collagen synthesis and stimulates osteoblast differentiation  
🗑
Vitamin A affect on bone   Stimulates osteoblast activity  
🗑
Vitamins K & B12   Required for synthesis of bone proteins  
🗑
What maintains calcium in homeostasis   -parathyroid hormone -calcitonin  
🗑
What hormones stimulate bone growth?   -growth hormone -thyroxine  
🗑
What are hormones stimulate bone growth   -estrogen -testosterone  
🗑
What is calcitriol?   -made in kidneys -essential for normal calcium and phosphate in absorbtion in digestive tract  
🗑
How much calcium do your bones store?   90% in addition to other minerals  
🗑
What is the most abundant mineral in the body?   Calcium  
🗑
What physiological processes is calcium vital to   -muscle contractions -nerve impulse transmission  
🗑
How is homeostasis maintained in bone   -two negative feedback loops  
🗑
What is Parathyroid hormone (PTH)   -produced by Parathyroid glands which detect low calcium levels  
🗑
How do Parathyroid glands increase blood calcium levels?   -stimulating osteoclasts activity -inhibits osteoblast activity -increasing interesting absorbtion of calcium by enhancing calcitriol secretion by kidneys -decreasing calcium excretion by kidneys  
🗑
What is calcitonin   Thyroid gland detects high blood calcium levels -is secreted by C cells in there gland -important in children and pregnant/lactating women  
🗑
