Bone is deposited or strengthened in response to copressional forcesit is forced to carry. bone is contually being remodelled within the body and if the compressional load is reduced such as when u astronauts go into space or, a person is placed on bed rest for a long time then changes in the bone density may be seen on x-ray this is decalcification and the bone becomes less dense. If a person starts to train heavily for instance an athlete then the bone responds be laying down more bone to become stronger. The bone is deposited by cells known as osteoblasts. Therfore as long as the exercise is against weight resitance and gravity then it may be used to make bones stronger. however exercise in water such as swimming is not as effective as the compressional forces of gravity are reduced.
What else can I help you with?
What cellular activity causes increase in bone mass?
osteoblasts secrete matrix; bone deposition
Bone mass reduction is promoted by which hormone?
Bone mass reduction is primarily promoted by the hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone is released by the parathyroid glands and is responsible for regulating calcium levels in the body. High levels of PTH can lead to increased breakdown of bone tissue, resulting in bone mass reduction.
Do you increase or decrease in mass?
you increase or decrease mass by taking the mass out
What is peak bone mass?
Peak bone mass occurs at ~30 years of age. Afterwards, bone loss starts to outpace bone deposition.
Increase height using bone lenthing operation?
increase height using bone lengthing operation.
During what period of life does skeletal mass increase dramatically?
Skeletal mass increases dramatically during childhood and adolescence, typically peaking in early adulthood. The period of bone growth and development is highest during the teenage years, with bone density continuing to increase until around the late 20s.
What does the skeletal system deal with homeostasis?
Homeostasis is maintained by the hormones that increase osteoblast activity to build bone, called calcitonin which is released by the thyroid gland, and the release of parathyroid hormone which increases osteoclast activity and is released by the parathyroid glands. As long as both of these function normally, the bone mass stays the same, this is a homeostatic state of bone. If it goes out of balance you will either build too much bone, or loose bone mass and develop osteoporosis.
Increase bone strength?
You can increase your bone strength by taking Calcium. As you get older you will need more amounts of calcium in your diet.
Most bone cancers increase the activity of what?
Most bone cancers increase the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue. This leads to bone destruction and weakened bones in individuals with bone cancer.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal reduction of bone mass?
Osteopenia is an abnormal reduction in bone mass.
The addition of new bone on top of existing bone to increase bone thickness is called?
The addition of new bone on top of existing bone to increase bone thickness is called appositional bone growth. This process involves the deposition of new bone tissue on the outer surface of existing bones.
What will happen if you increase the mass of an object what will the potential energy do?
If you increase the mass of an object, the potential energy will increase.
