17
Q

what is the location of lengthwise bone growth

A

epiphyseal plate

18
Q

outline the 5 steps of widthwise bone growth

A
  • osteoblast secrete bone matrix
  • matrix forms a groove around blood vessels
  • remodelling to form osteon
    outer lamellae laid down
19
Q

what 2 ways does physical activity affect bone growth

A

stimulates bone growth and encourages remodelling

20
Q

why is bone remodelled when there is a change in physical activity type

A

trabeculae are along lines of stress

21
Q

how does PTH impact bone

A

breakdown

22
Q

how does calcitonin impact bone

A

formation

23
Q

what is role of insulin in bone maintenance

A

synthesises proteins for bone growth

24
Q

what is role of thyroid hormone in bone maintenance

A

stimulates osteoblasts

25
Q

what is role of oestrogen in bone growth

A

stimulates or stops growth

26
Q

relevance of vitamin A in bones

A

enhances osteoblast activity

27
Q

relevance of vitamin C in bones

A

collagen synthesis

28
Q

relevance of vitamin D in bones

A

calcium reabsorption

29
Q

relevance of vitamin K and B12 in bones

A

synthesises bone proteins

30
Q

relevance of manganese in bones

A

activates enzymes used in formation

31
Q

outline the 5 stages of bone remodelling

A
  • quiescence
  • osteoclasts digest bone
  • macrophages clean up
  • osteoblasts lay down new bone
  • new bone mineralises
