28
Q

Activates enzymes involved in synthesis of bone extracellular matrix

A

Manganese

29
Q

Helps strengthen bone extracellular matrix

A

Fluoride

30
Q

4 mineral factors that influence bone metabolism

A
  • calcium and phosphorus
  • magnesium
  • fluoride
  • manganese
31
Q

Vitamin needed for the activity of osteoblasts during remodeling of bone; deficiency stunts bone growth; toxic in high doses

A

Vit. A

32
Q

Vitamin needed for synthesis of collagen, the main bone protein; deficiency leads to decreased collagen production, which slows down bone growth and delays repair of broken bones

A

Vitamin C

33
Q

(vitamin); active form (calcitriol)is produced by kidneys; help build bone by increasing absorption of calcium from gastrointestinal tract into blood; deficiency causes faulty calcification, and slows down bone growth; may induce risk of osteoporosis but toxic if taken in high doses. People who have minimal exposure to ultraviolet rays do not take vitamin __ supplements may not have sufficient vitamin __ to absorb calcium. Inteferes with calcium metabolism

A

Vitamin D

34
Q

Vitamin needed for synthesis of bone proteins; deficiency leads to abdominal protein production in bone extracellular matrix and decreased bone density

A

Vitamin K and B12

35
Q
A
36
Q

Secreted by anterior lobe of pituitary gland; promotes general growth of all body tissues, including bone, mainly by stimulation production of insulinlike growth factors

A

Human growth hormone (hHG)

37
Q

Secreted by liver, bones, and other tissues on stimulation by human grown hormone; promotes normal bone growth nu stimulation osteoblasts and by increasing synthesis of proteins needed to build new bone

A

Insulinlike growth factors (iGFs)

38
Q

Secreted by thyroid gland; promote normal bone growth by stimulation osteoblasts

A

Thyroid hormone (thyroxine and triiodothyronine)

39
Q

secreted by ovaries in women and by testes in men; stimulate osteoblasts and promote the sudden “growth spurt” that occurs during the teenage years; shut down growth at epiphyseal plates around age 18 - 21, causing lengthwise growth of bone to end; contribute to bone remodeling during adulthood by slowing bone resorption by osteoclasts and promoting bone deposition by osteoblasts

A

Sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone)

40
Q

Secreted by parathyroid glands; promotes bone resorption by osteoclasts, enhances recovery of calcium ions from urine; promotes formation of active form of vitamin d (calcitriol)

A

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

41
Q

Secreted by thyroid gland; inhibits bone resorption by osteoclasts

A

Calcitrionin (CT)

42
Q

Weight-bearing activates stimulate osteoblasts and, consequently, help build thicker, stronger bones, and retard loss of bone mass that occurs as people age

A

Exercise

43
Q

As the level of sex hormone diminishes during middle age to older adulthood, especially in women after menopause, bone resorption by osteoclasts outpaces bone deposition by osteoblasts, which leads to a decrease in bone mass and an increased risk of osteoporosis

A

Aging

44
