Back (Answer)

Connective tissue Cellular Hydroxyapatite 35% , collagen

#11
Front (Question)

Bone cells: Bones are a dynamic tissue continually degenerating and re generating Osteo- build bone Osteo- are the mature bone cells Osteo- break down bones O? = functional unit Bone Adaptation to stress (weightlifting) builds bone ? Electrical activity produced by bone minerals is detected by osteo? Osteo? migrate to the area of activity and produce new bone.

Back (Answer)

Osteo blasts Osteo cytes Osteo clasts Osteon Density Osteoblasts Osteoblasts

#12
Front (Question)

Loss of bone mineral density: Loss of BMD due to ageing is - Bones grow - and thinner The osteo- activity decreases while the osteo- activity remains the same Between -0 and -0 years degeneration begins Females lose - % / decade Males lose - % / decade Loss of bone density beyond functional threshold is called ?

Back (Answer)

Osteopenia Weaker Osteo blast , osteo clast 30-40 8% 3% Osteoporosis
