  • The incus is the middle three of the auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear.
  • The laying down of new bone in the middle ear causes fusion or fixation of the ossicles which leads to Conductive Deafness.

Do the number of osteocytes are greater in primary bone than secondary bone?

Osteocytes grow bone (lay it down) and osteoclasts break down bone. So there will be many more cells laying down bone (osteocytes) in primary bone.


Definition of ossification?

Ossification (or osteogenesis) in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts. It is synonymous with bone tissue formation.

What bone cells in the body remodel the synthetic material and produce new bone?

Osteoclasts are the bone cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing old bone tissue. Osteoblasts, on the other hand, are responsible for producing new bone tissue and laying down the synthetic material. Both cell types work together in a process known as bone remodeling.


What does whittled down to the bone mean?

To whittle is to carve away small pieces of wood, so if you're whittling something down to the bone, you're figuratively carving it away until you get to the bone in the middle.

How does extra bone disappear over time?

Extra bone can disappear over time through a process called bone remodeling. This process involves osteoclasts breaking down old or excess bone tissue, followed by osteoblasts laying down new bone in its place. Factors like hormone levels, physical activity, and nutritional intake can influence the rate of bone remodeling and the disappearance of extra bone.

What are the especially critical years for laying down bone mass for the remainder of life?

The especially critical years for laying down bone mass are typically between the ages of 9 and 18, with peak bone mass often achieved in the late teens to early twenties. During this period, the body accumulates the most bone density, influenced by factors such as nutrition, physical activity, and hormonal changes. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, along with weight-bearing exercises, are crucial during these years to optimize bone health for the future. After reaching peak bone mass, bone density gradually declines with age, making these formative years particularly important.
