A

In long bone, mostly concentrated in ends.

Flat bones, some irregular and all cuboidal bones are predominantly spongy.

84
Q

Calcitonin

A

A hormone, produced by thyroid parafollicular cells. Released in response to elevated Ca+ levels.

Decreases activity of osteoclasts; increases activity of osteoblasts (bone formation increases)

85
Q

How do hormones regulate blood Ca+ levels?

A 
Controlled condition (decreased Ca+ levels) -->
Receptor (parathyroid gland)  --> Releases PTH --> bone resorption increases/ kidneys retain Ca+/ increased absorption of Ca+ in GI tracts --> increase in blood Ca+ level --> homeostasis achieved.  High five!
86
Q

Open fracture

A

aka compound

broken ends of bone protrude through skin.

87
Q

Why is compact bone compact?

A

Because there is little space between cells. Composed mostly of calcium, phosphate, collagen and other minerals.
