Q

Hyaline Cartilage

A

Covering the bone ends.

17
Q

Periosteum

A

A tough fibrous sheaf covering the whole bone.

18
Q

Compact bone,

A

Solid strong and resistant to bending.

19
Q

Cancellous Bone

A

Giving elastic strength to resist compression forces.

20
Q

Medullary Cavity

A

Hollow tube down the centre of compact bone.

21
Q

Yellow Marrow

A

Storage of fat.

22
Q

What happens to bone as we age.

A

Bone calcium is lost causing bones to become brittle and susceptible to breaking. Inactivity makes this worse.

23
Q

How can we strengthen bones.

A

We need to engage in weight bearing exercises.

24
Q

Short term effect of exercise on bones.

A

Smoother movements, synovial fluid is secreted into the joint when fully mobilised.

25
Long term effect of exercise on bones.
Bone maybe improved as it responds to mechanical stresses. More mineral salts deposited.
