Q

What part of bone is particularly rich in sensory nerves?

A

the periosteum

20
Q

What is bone formation called?

A

Ossification

21
Q

What are the 2 ways bones grow?

A

length and width

22
Q

How do bones grow longer?

A

interstitial growth which occurs by endochondral ossification

23
Q

Where do bones grow longer?

A

the cartilaginous regions of long bones

24
Q

What permits growth of the the diaphysis of long bones?

A

the epiphyseal growth plate

25
Q

How do bones grow in width?

A

appositional growth. The bone grows in thickness by laying down new osteons beneath the periosteum.

26
Q

What hormones contribute to bone growth?

A

growth hormone
estrogen
testosterone

27
Q

What are the 2 components of bone remodeling?

A

bone resorption
bone deposition

28
Q

What regulates bone remodeling?

A

hormones

29
Q

What factors influence bone growth, remodeling and repair?

A

minerals
vitamins
hormones

30
Q

What minerals are important to bone growth?

A

hydroxyapatite
magnesium

31
Q

What vitamins are vital to bone growth?

A

Vitamin C
Vitamin D

32
Q

What is caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C?

A

scurvy

33
Q

What is caused by a vitamin D deficiency?

A

rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

34
Q

What hormones are part of bone growth?

A

parathyroid hormone
sex hormone (in adults)
calcitonin

35
Q

What does parathyroid hormone do for bone growth?

A
  • increases blood calcium levels
  • promotes bone reabsorption by increasing the number and activity of osteoclasts.
  • enhances calcium recovery from urine
36
Q

What do sex hormones do for bone growth?

A

promote deposition of new bone by stimulating osteoblast activity.

37
Q

What does calcitonin do for bone growth?

A
  • decreases blood calcium levels
  • promotes calcium uptake by increasing the activity of osteoblasts and inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts
38
Q

Who is most at risk of osteoporosis?

A

Older women

38
Q

What are the steps of bone fracture healing?

A
  1. fracture hematoma
  2. fibrocartilaginous callus
  3. bony callus formation
  4. bone remodeling
38
Q

What is osteoporosis?

A

reduced bone mass due to decreased bone synthesis relative to reabsorption.

39
Q

What is joint inflammation brought about by wear and tear causing cumulative damage to articular cartilage?

A

Osteoarthritis

40
Q

What is osteomyelitis?

A

infection or inflammation of bone and marrow

41
Q

What does rickets or osteomalacia do?

A

causes bones to soften as it fails to calcify

42
Q

What is osteogenesis imperfecta?

A

a genetic disorder leading to brittle or fragile bones

43
Q

How does osteogenesis imperfecta affect bones?

A

it is an autosomal dominant disorder of type 1 collagen
