A long bone grows in thickness as bone tissue is deposited beneath its what?
Periosteum. The periosteum is a dense fibrous membrane that surrounds the outer surface of bones and is responsible for generating new bone tissue, contributing to the growth in thickness of long bones.
What hormone causes calcium to be deposited in bone?
calcitonin and PTH
What component of bone secretes a substance in which minerals are deposited?
Osteoblasts are the bone cells responsible for secreting a substance called osteoid, which is a matrix made up of collagen and other proteins. This osteoid provides the scaffold where minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, are deposited to form solid bone tissue.
What are the minerals deposited by living cells called?
Shell, bone, a reef.
What bone structure has inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance?
Matrix
How does excercising increase bone mass?
Bone is deposited or strengthened in response to copressional forcesit is forced to carry. bone is contually being remodelled within the body and if the compressional load is reduced such as when u astronauts go into space or, a person is placed on bed rest for a long time then changes in the bone density may be seen on x-ray this is decalcification and the bone becomes less dense. If a person starts to train heavily for instance an athlete then the bone responds be laying down more bone to become stronger. The bone is deposited by cells known as osteoblasts. Therfore as long as the exercise is against weight resitance and gravity then it may be used to make bones stronger. however exercise in water such as swimming is not as effective as the compressional forces of gravity are reduced.
What is another name for tubular bone?
long bone
When shooting in netball what bones are used?
the bones used in shooting in netball is the humerus (long bone), ulna (long bone), radius (long bone), wrist - carpals and metacarpals (short bones), femur (long bone), patella (flat bone), tibia (long bone) and the fibula (long bone)
What happens if too much calcium is deposited in the bone?
Too much calcium makes the bones brittle.
What cause blood calcium to be deposited in bone as calcium salt?
Answer is Vitamin D.(1,25 bihydroxycholecalciferol. )
What class of bone does femur belong to?
The femur is a long bone.
What is bone when it is first built?
When bone is first built, it is primarily composed of a flexible, organic matrix called osteoid, which is mainly made up of collagen fibers and ground substance. This osteoid is initially soft and unmineralized. Over time, minerals such as calcium and phosphate are deposited within this matrix, leading to the hardening and maturation of the bone into a rigid structure known as mineralized bone. This process is essential for providing strength and support to the skeletal system.
