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 attaches to bone and causes them to move?
Tendons and muscles. It's the tendons that attach the bone to the muscle.
What vitamin synthesis is aided by sunlight and why is it important in bone health?
Vitamin D deficiency not only causes metabolic bone disease among children and adults but also may increase the risk of many common chronic diseases. Without Vitamin D, the bloodstream cannot absorb calcium from the digestive tract. Without calcium, bone tissue will slowly wear away.
What part of the body is generally effected by osteogenesis imperfecta?
It is a disorder of the connective tissue which causes the bone to be soft and leads to bony deformities and multiple fractures of the bone
What is osseous pathology?
The word osseous refers to bone, and the word pathology refers to the science of causes and effects of diseases. Osseous pathology is the study of bone related diseases.
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 do most bone cancers increase the activity of?
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
What causes leg extension during sexual activity?
An extra "Bone"
Why do athletes have denser bones than non-active people?
Athletes consistently put force on their bones through activity. Force causes tiny electrical currents within the bone. These electrical currents stimulate the bone-forming activity of Osteoblasts. Since Osteoblasts produce bone tissue, this causes the bone to become denser and stronger.
Mature bone grows and is reshaped by the simultaneous activity of which two cells?
The simultaneous activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is what causes the reshaping of mature bone as it grows. Bones are defined as rigid organs.
What happens when stress is applied to a bone it causes what type of activity to occur?
the minerals in the bone produce a weak electrical field that attracts osteoblasts.
What is a bone infarct?
Bone infarct refers to ischemic death of the cellular elements of the bone and marrow.
What is the medical term meaning decreased activity in bone marrow?
Myelosuppression is decreased activity in bone marrow.
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.
What has the author Robert K Martin written?
Robert K. Martin has written: 'The effects of exercise on cellular activity, mineral composition, and architectural structure in canine bone' -- subject(s): Bone, Dogs, Exercise, Physiological aspects, Physiological aspects of Exercise, Physiology
