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.


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.


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.

Which of the following is a protein secreted by osteoblasts during bone deposition A calcium B vitamin C C phosphorus D collagen E none of the above?

A protein secreted by osteoblasts during bone deposition is collagen. The collagen is put down in layers parallel to the long axis of the bone alternating with layers at right angles to the long axis of the bone, kind of in a cross-hatching pattern.


What is the meaning of ossify?

To form into bone; to change from a soft animal substance into bone, as by the deposition of lime salts., Fig.: To harden; as, to ossify the heart., To become bone; to change from a soft tissue to a hard bony tissue.


What happens to the bone when collagen is removed?

When collagen is removed from the bone, the structure and strength of the bone are compromised. Collagen provides the framework for mineral deposition and helps to maintain the flexibility and resilience of bone. Without collagen, the bone becomes more brittle and prone to fractures.
