Bone fragments are made of calcium carbonate. When calcium carbonate is eaten and enters the stomach, the acids in the stomach will dissolve the calcium carbonate.

What are the different molecular forms of PTH in the body?
PTH is broken down in the body into three different molecular forms: the intact PTH molecule and several smaller fragments which include an amino acid or N-terminal, a midregion or midmolecule, and a carboxyl or C-terminal.
Describe bone physiology and the bone remodeling cycle?
Bone is broken down and built up all the time. This occurs on the surface of all bone types. About 10% of bone is replaced each year. Osteoblasts build bone. Osteoclasts break it down. Calcium is needed for this process.
Compare and contrast the role of PTH hormone and mechanical forces acting on the skeleton?
both PTH and mechanical forces work together in bone remodeling. PTH determines when or if bone is to be broken down or formed. Once the PTH determines this then the mechanisms ( osteoblasts and osteoclasts) will begin to build or destroy in bone remodeling :) hope this helps!
What is a weird named bone in your body?
I will have to say that the most unusual bone in the human body is the hyoid bone in your neck behind the voicebox or larynx. This bone helps keep the breathing tube down your neck nice and open. When a person is strangled by hand, the hyoid is often broken, which lets the breathing tube collapse. First, nearly no normal person even knows it exists. Second, it is a bone that does not touch any other bones. And third, oddly enough, it is a bone that you can touch, an probably do (through the skin, of course) every once in a while, and do not realize it.
Where is food physically broken down in the body?
Well ... it makes you healthy by supplying your body with vitamins and nutrients that are used for all sorts of internal procedures that take part in your body.
Ninety-nine percent of this nutrient is stored within the body in bone and becomes available to other tissues when the bone is broken down during remodeling?
Calcium
Where from hemoglobin formed in human body?
Hemoglobin is produced in bone marrow by erythrocytes and is circulated with them until their destruction. It is then broken down in the spleen, and some of its components, such as iron, are recycled to the bone marrow. Other components, such as the heme groups, are broken down into bilirubin, transported to the liver, and secreted with the bile into the intestine for eventual elimination from the body.
Rocks are broken down into smaller fragments by the atmosphere and other factors in the environment is called?
Erosion
Cartilage in a baby's skeleton is broken down and replaced by which kind of bone cells?
Osteoclasts break down bone and osteoblasts build up bone.
How are fat broken down?
Fats are broken down by the body into glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are then broken down to glucose to provide the body with energy.
The process by which rocks are broken down into smaller fragments by the atmosphere and other factors in the environment is called?
weathering
What are lipids broken down into the digestive sysytem?
it is broken down by the body i think
Why must be food be broken down in your body?
Fat reserves in the body can be mobilized and broken down to release energy.
Is blood produced in a bone?
No. Blood is produced in the Liver, and broken down in the spleen.
Is calcium permanently locked in bone?
No, it is constantly being broken down and rebuilt.
