A

Physical activity, particularly weight-bearing exercises.

18
Q

What dietary nutrients are necessary for bone health?

A

Calcium and vitamin D.

19
Q

Which hormones affect bone health?

Q

What are the three phases of bone healing?

A

Phase 1: Reactive Phase- The body’s responses similar to that of any other injury. Granulation tissue begins to form.
Phase 2: Reparative Phase- granulation tissue is replaced with callus precursor called procallus.
Phase 3: Remodeling Phase- New bone forms.
