Q

What are the 2 factors that base the formation of bone markings?

A
  1. Calcium demands of the body: If we have too much calcium in our blood it can be stored in bone. If we have too little calcium in our blood we get more from bone.
  2. Mechanical stress: Wolf’s Law states that when mechanical stress is placed on bone, the bone thickens and gets stronger, this forms “bone markings”.

Q

Bone Remodeling: Piezoelectric Property

A

When stress is placed on bone, a small electric current happens in the area. This causes bone cells called osteoblasts to become more active.
