Module 12 Flashcards
What percentage does genetic factors, gender, and ethnicity account for bone mass variation
75%
What percentage do environmental factors account for bone mass variations
25%
What are 3 foods that have vitamin D in them
Egg yolks, salt water fish, and liver
Walking, climbing stairs, playing sports, performing household chores, and weight training are examples of what type of exercise
Weight bearing
When did the 1st bone density scanners appear on the market
1970s
BMD is based on a 2 dimensional area not a 3 dimensional volume which makes DXA a ________ technique
Projectional
This is calculated by dividing the sum of the data values by the number of data values
Mean
This is a measure of variability that indicates the spread of the data values around the mean
Standard deviation
This allows comparison between datasets, whether or not they have the same mean
Percent coefficient of variation
How do you calculate the percent coefficient of variation
The standard deviation is divided by the mean and the resulting value is multiplied by 100
This is the 1st step of bone growth in which osteoclasts break down and remove old bone from the inner surface of the bone
Resorption (destructive)
The 2nd part of bone growth in which osteoblasts create new bone tissue on the outer surface of the bone
Formation (constructive)
When resorption is balanced with equal formation
Bone mass is stable
How often does the human body build a new skeletal system
7 years
What are the key anatomy for DXA scans of the forearm
Radius, ulna, and carpal bones
Large pointed process at the proximal end of the ulna
Olecranon
This is a large concave depression on ulna which articulates with the humerus
Trochlear notch
Below the trochlear notch on ulna, second pointed feature. Triangler in shape
Coronoid process
This is found on the distant end of the ulna and is a rounded process
Ulnar head
A narrow projection on the ulnar head
Ulnar styloid process
