What are the cells responsible for active erosion of bone minerals?
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. They break down bone tissue by secreting enzymes and acids that dissolve the mineral components of bone. This process is essential for bone remodeling and maintenance of bone density.
In contrast to compact bone tissue Type of bone tissue that contains a latticework of thin columns of bone?
spongy bone tissue
In contrast to compact bone tissue this type of bone tissue contains an irregular latticework of thin columns of bone?
spongy (bone tissue)
What are the 2 forms of bone composition?
compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue
What are osteoclasts responsible for?
They absorb (or resorb) bone. Bone is active living tissue that is constant remaking itself. The osteoclasts break down and resorb old bone while osteoblasts lay down new bone to take its place.
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
Is bone an example of nerve tissue?
Bone is quite different from nerve tissue. It is not an excitable tissue.
What is the effect of exercises on bone tissue?
What is the effect of exercises on bone tissue??
What are the compositions of the bones?
compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue
What happens to bone tissue if not used?
It is technically impossible to NOT "use your bone tissue". Because the skeleton is built of bone tissue it is in constant use.
The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called tissue?
The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called trabecular or cancellous bone tissue. It is less dense than compact bone tissue and contains a network of bony trabeculae that provide structural support and help in bone marrow production.
Is a bone a active tissue that heals rapidly?
Bone is both an active, or organic tissue, and inorganic in composition. There are basically 3 types of cells found in bone- osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteophytes. They are involved in the production, maintenance, and tear down of bony tissue. The minerals that make up a bone are never static, always being changed to suit the forces applied to a bone (such as strength training). Typical healing time for a bone, in a healthy person, is 6-8 weeks. It will be longer in someone with osteoporosis.
