Bone stress is when there is a lot of stress applied to the bones. Bone stress can be demonstrated with a plastic fork between two polarizing filters. The light that is polarized between the filters shows the bone stress. When you bend the transparent plastic fork, the light shows the stress in the fork in a brightly colored display.

What is thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone?

Thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone could be caused by conditions such as bone spurs or calcaneal stress fractures. Bone spurs are bony outgrowths that can develop in response to pressure or stress on the bone, while stress fractures are tiny cracks that occur due to repetitive overuse or sudden increase in physical activity. Both conditions may result in thickening of the bone surface.


How does weight-bearing influence the bone repair process what effect does weight bearing have on orientation of the haversian system?

Weight-bearing stimulates bone remodeling by creating mechanical stress which activates osteoblasts and osteoclasts to build and resorb bone in areas of stress. Weight-bearing influences the orientation of the Haversian system by causing the deposition of bone tissue along lines of stress, aligning the Haversian canals parallel to the direction of mechanical load to increase bone strength and adaptation to stress.


The structure of bone tissue suits the function Which of the following bone tissues is adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress?

Compact bone tissue is adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress due to its dense structure and arrangement of osteons. These osteons are aligned in the direction of stress to provide strength and stability to the bone. This compact arrangement makes it ideal for weight-bearing and resisting tension.


What is a break that occurs from repeated stress to a bone over time?

The medical terminology for this is a "stress fracture".stress fracturestress fracture


What does osteon compact bone tissue are aligned along?

Osteons in compact bone tissue are aligned along the axis of stress to provide structural support and strength to the bone. This alignment helps to distribute mechanical forces and resist bending or twisting during movement.

Bone constantly remodels and redistributes its matrix along lines of?

Bone constantly remodels and redistributes its matrix along lines of mechanical stress to maintain its strength and integrity. This process involves the removal of old bone tissue by osteoclasts and the formation of new bone tissue by osteoblasts. The alignment of bone matrix along lines of mechanical stress helps to optimize bone strength and adapt to the external forces acting on the skeleton.
