What do you call the deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue?
calcification
What is the hard tissue that contains calcium?
Bone tissue appears almost exactly like the cross section of a tree. Each individual tree represents the functional unit of bone connective tissue, or an osteon. The center circle is called the Haversian, or central, canal. The blood and nerve supply of bone (remember, it's a living tissue; therefore, oxygen is delivered to bone via red blood cells and carbon dioxide is taken away) runs through the Haversian canal.
What can happen if calcium is not replaced in bone tissue?
Your bones can become brittle and there is a greater risk of bone fractures.Osteoporosis (gaps, lower bone density, or weak points in solid bones) occurs primarily where calcium is not being added to the bones. Lack of calcium or vitamin D, and lowered estrogen in women, can cause osteoporosis.
What does calcetonin do?
Calcetonin is a hormone that stimulates the absorption of serum calcium by bone tissue. It is an antagonist of Parathyroid Hormone, which stimulates the release of calcium from bone tissue into the blood stream to make it available for muscle contractions, neural impulses, and assisting in blood clotting factors.Source: Medical-Nursing Care, 3rd ed.
What happens through the action of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption or the breakdown of bone tissue. They secrete enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral component of bone, allowing the release of stored calcium and other minerals into the bloodstream. This process helps maintain calcium homeostasis, remodel damaged bone, and play a role in bone growth and repair.
What is the structue of the bone?
its calcium and tissue
Which two minerals are stored in major quantities in bone tissue?
Calcium and Phosphorus are both stored in major quantities in bone tissue.
Where in the body do you find the tissue bone?
You find a tissue bone in bones as well as calcium
What does tissue consists of?
bone tissue is either spongy bone or compact bone. they are made of calcium, protein and vitamans
What tissue has lacunae and calcium salts?
bone (osseus) tissue
What tissue has lacuna calcium salts and blood vessels?
Osseous tissue has calcium, salts, and blood vessels.
What tissue has a matrix that contains collagen and mineral salts?
Bone is not connective tissue. Instead, connective tissue -- ligaments and tendons -- connect to the bone.
What is the nutrent that assit in forming bone and tissue?
Calcium
What kind of tissue bone?
Bone cells are called osteocytes, and the matrix of the bone is made of calcium salts and collagen. Bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body.
What is the calcium-phosphate salt that mineralizes bone tissue?
Hydroxyapatite
What can result if calcium is not replaced in bone?
Osteoporosis
Which kinds of tissues make up bones?
Osseous tissue, or bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. Osseous tissue forms the rigid part of the bone organs
