Q

Describe in a few words the process of bone growth?

A
  • Bone is continuously being reshaped through a process called remodelling.
  • Ossification is the process in which bones are formed.
  • Osteoclasts remove unnecessary calcium.
  • Osteoblasts bring new calcium to the bone to create bone matter.
  • Osteoblasts activity increases with exercise.
  • Epiphyseal plates continue to grow allowing to grow the bone longer. This continues until full maturity.
  • Epiphysis’s fuse with the main shaft (diaphysis to create the epiphyseal line.

Q

How can you prevent Osteoporosis?

A

Physical activity can prevent this by promoting the uptake of minerals in the bones resulting in stronger bones and increase the bone density.

Q

How can you prevent arthritis?

A

Exercise produces more synovial fluid thus reducing the risk.
An increase of lubrication will reduce friction but also provide important minerals to the cartilage to reduce impact between bone-to-bone.
