Muscles
Does a human have more muscles or bones in the body?
The bones are dense, porous and calcified tissue that make up the skeleton and are hard/solid. The muscles are organs made of fibrous tissue and are contractile, meaning they can lengthen and shorten.
What anterior pituitary hormone stimulates general body growth?
The anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates general body growth is called growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin. It is responsible for promoting growth in bones, muscles, and tissues throughout the body.
Does sleeping make you tall?
Yes sleeping does help you to grow taller. This is because during sleep the pituitary gland produces and releases the growth hormone into the bloodstream. The growth hormone cause the bones to become stronger and lengthen.
How does growth hormone affect animals?
Growth hormone in general promotes the development and differentiation of cells and tissues. This is one of the major hormones that causes the leg and arm bones to become longer, the muscles to develop and become stronger and the organs to grow in size as well.
Do growing bones widen as they lengthen?
Yes.
Is the overproduction of the parathyroid hormone?
Hyperparathyroidism or over production of parathyroid hormone causes pain in bones and pathological fractures of bones. Due to this problem, you have increased bone resorption and so that is the result of the same.
Do bones have muscles?
There are muscles attached to bones, but bones do not have muscles.
How do muscles attached to the bones move the body?
Muscles attached to bones contract and generate force, pulling on the bones they are attached to. This force causes the bones to move, resulting in movement of the body. The attachment of muscles to bones via tendons allows for efficient transfer of force and movement.
What hormone produced in excessive amounts causes demineralization of bones and spontaneous fractures?
Excessive production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) can lead to demineralization of bones and increase the risk of spontaneous fractures. This condition is known as hyperparathyroidism.
Why does a racehorse have leg bones which are long?
to lengthen its strides
