§The initial stage in bone production is the secretion of collagen molecules and ground substance by osteoblasts.
§The collagen monomers polymerize rapidly to form collagen fibers.
§The resultant tissue becomes osteoid
§As the osteoid is formed, some of the osteoblasts become entrapped in the osteoid and become quiescent osteocytes.
§Within a few days after the osteoid is formed, calcium salts begin to precipitate on the surfaces of the collagen fibers.
§The precipitates first appear at intervals along each collagen fiber, forming minute nidi that rapidly multiply and grow over a period of days and weeks into the finished product, hydroxyapatite crystals.
hope thats good enough :)
What else can I help you with?
What three steps are involved in clastic rock formation?
Weathering and erosion break down pre-existing rocks into sediments. Transportation of these sediments by water, wind, or ice to a new location. Deposition and compaction of the sediments to form layers, followed by cementation to create a solid clastic rock.
The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called?
deposition
Is it erosion or deposition when materials drop out of wind or water?
Deposition. Erosion is the process of wearing away or carrying away materials, while deposition is the process of dropping or depositing those materials in a new location.
Why there is low deposition rate in sputter deposition?
Low deposition rate in sputter deposition can be attributed to factors such as low sputter yield of the target material, insufficient power or pressure to sustain sputtering, inefficient target utilization, or poor target-substrate geometry leading to inefficient material transfer. Increasing any of these factors can help improve the deposition rate in sputter deposition.
What are the synonyms for weathering erosion deposition?
Weathering: disintegration, decomposition, deterioration Erosion: abrasion, corrosion, scouring Deposition: accumulation, sedimentation, deposit
What is the deposition of calcium salts in bone tissues?
ossification.
What cellular activity causes increase in bone mass?
osteoblasts secrete matrix; bone deposition
Who exemplifies a positive feedback process happening in bone mineral deposition?
Osteoblasts exemplify a positive feedback process in bone mineral deposition. When new bone is formed by osteoblasts, they release proteins that stimulate further osteoblast activity and mineral deposition. This creates a cycle where bone formation encourages more bone formation.
What is peak bone mass?
Peak bone mass occurs at ~30 years of age. Afterwards, bone loss starts to outpace bone deposition.
What is the condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition leading to the bone becoming more porous and brittle?
Osteoporosis is the condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition, causing bones to become porous and brittle. This can increase the risk of fractures and other bone-related issues.
How is delta formed-all the steps?
Deltas are created by deposition.
What do you call the deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue?
The deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue is called mineralization or calcification. This process helps to strengthen and harden the bones, making them more rigid and able to support the body.
What are 4 steps for a sedmentary rock to form?
Deposition, Compaction, Cementation and Lithification
What is bone deposition?
it is the formation of bones. This is the principal role of calcitriol. It requires both calcium and phosphate.
What are the steps on how weathering and erosion and deposition work together?
they all do the same thing, i think
Which cells secrete collagen and stimulate calcium phosphate deposition?
Osteoblasts are responsible for secreting collagen and stimulating calcium phosphate deposition during the process of bone formation.
The addition of new bone on top of existing bone to increase bone thickness is called?
The addition of new bone on top of existing bone to increase bone thickness is called appositional bone growth. This process involves the deposition of new bone tissue on the outer surface of existing bones.
