Brett has lived in Alaska virtually his whole life where it is winter many months out of the year and cloudy. Brett is now 78 years old and his bones are weak and he is subject to having broken bones. Why?

Because there is little sunlight, Brett produces little vitamin D throughout his life, so he did not absorb calcium properly. This made his bones weaker since his bones had to constantly release calcium into his bloodstream

Draw a bone with a transverse fracture.

Bone should be drawn with a fracture straight across it.

Draw a bone with a comminuted fracture.

Bone should be drawn with many little pieces broken within the fracture

Breaks down (erodes) bone

Mary has been a soccer player her whole life. Beth has lived a very sedentary (inactive) lifestyle. Explain what may be the difference between the two of them once they both reach menopause and why.

Mary may have stronger bones because she put more physical stress on them throughout her life. Beth may have weaker bones because she did little physical activity and put no stress on her bones during her lifetime.

Matt does not have a lot of calcium in his diet. Stephanie drinks a lot of milk and cheese. Explain what will happen to each person as they get older using all of these words: hypocalcemic, hypercalcemic, osteoclasts, osteoblast, parathormone, calcitonin

Matt - He is hypocalcemic due to lack of calcium, which will cause the release of parathormone, which signals osteoclasts to break down bone and release calcium into the bloodstream. He may have weaker bones as he ages. Stephanie - She is hypercalcemic due to high calcium levels. This will stimulate the release of calcitonin, which will stimulate osteoblasts to form bone and store excess calcium. Her bones may be stronger as she ages.

Matt is 57 and recently had a bone density exam. After reviewing the results, the doctor put Matt on a daily vitamin. Explain what the doctor saw and why the doctor prescribed a daily vitamin.

Matt had low bone density, perhaps this is caused by osteoporosis. The doctor prescribed calcium, vitamin D, A, and C to promote healthy bone maintenance.

One of these types of bone cells "transforms" itself into one of the other types of cells. Explain this.

Osteoblast build matrix around themselves until they are fully surrounded by matrix (a lacuna), and then they are considered a mature bone cell, known as an osteocyte.

Immature, or matrix-depositing, bone cells are referred to as ___________.

Osteoblasts

__________________ deposit bony matrix around themselves in place of the membrane/cartilage.

Osteoblasts

When a bone breaks, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and osteoclasts all have a "job" to do. Describe each "job."

Osteoblasts- built and deposit new bone tissue Fibroblasts- create collagen Osteoclasts- dissolve bone fragment

Bone cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood are called _____________.

Osteoclasts

Explain how your bones maintain homeostasis throughout your entire life. Use the words osteoblasts and osteoclasts in your explanation

Osteoclasts continually break down bone and osteoblasts continually build bone back up throughout our lives.

Mature bone cells, called ___________, maintain bone in a viable state.

Osteocytes

Name the three different types of bone cells and their responsibilities.

Osteocytes - responsible for bone quality, call osteoblasts to work when needed, they are mature bone cells that are surrounded by lacuna (their boney chambers) Osteoblasts - bone forming cells that lay down the matrix around themselves. Once they are surrounded by matrix (lacuna), they are considered osteocytes (mature bone cells) Osteoclasts - breaks down/erodes/dissolves bone tissue

Describe how osteocytes, lacuna, and canaliculi are related. What type of bone tissue are they all found in?

Osteocytes are mature bone cells that live in lacuna and are connected to other bone cells through tiny channels in the matrix called canaliculi. They are all found in compact bone.

Betty, an 82 year old woman, broke her hip at the neck of the femur and fell. After coming to the hospital, the doctor took a bone density x-ray of her and found out that she has osteoporosis. She is obese and smokes regularly. Explain osteoporosis and how certain factors she has contributed to this. In addition, explain how sex hormones are related to osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis - condition in which bones weaken & can break easily due to loss of calcium. As estrogen drops, bones lose more calcium Smoking leads to increased calcium loss She is obese and not physically fit, so she probably has put little stress on her bones, which makes them weaker.

Compact bone is made of ________, which are cylindrical shaped and run vertically through the whole bone.

osteons
