1
Understand the process of bone growth and resorption
MT: Skeletal System
2
What is different between the two bones in the next picture?
4
Ossification Is the forming of new bone
5
Resorption Is the breaking down of old bone
6
Osteoblast & Osteoclast’s Roles in Ossification & Resorption
Osteoblasts in periosteum, build new bone around the periosteum (outside of bone) At the same time, osteoclasts are breaking down bone in the endosteum
7
Results in… A bone with a larger diameter and larger medullary cavity
Allows growth in both length and diameter of bone Allows a change in shape and size of medullary cavity Keeps Ca2+ levels in body balanced
8
-Increased medullary cavity
-Wider diameter -Longer
9
Rate of Ossification/Resorption
Child: ossification occurs faster than resorption, thus bone growth = Bone growth Ossification Resorption
10
Rate of Ossification/Resorption
Adulthood: ossification occurs at the same rate as resorption, thus no overall bone growth = Same size bone Ossification Resorption
11
Rate of Ossification/Resorption
40 yrs and older: ossification occurs at a slower rate than resorption, thus bone depletion = reduced bone size Ossification Resorption
12
Prevention How much calcium do I need? Children and teenagers between the ages of 9 and 18 should aim for 1,300 mg per day. Each 8-oz glass of milk and each cup of yogurt has about 300 mg of calcium. Adults 19 to 50 years of age should aim for 1,000 mg per day. Adults 50+ need 1,200 mg per day. Exercise stresses the bones and keeps them working to build strong bones Proper intake of Ca2+ in diet Don’t get old!
