Study Notes
Bone Building Nutrients
- Factors affecting bioavailability of nutrients include digestive efficiency, nutritional status, concurrent intake of inhibitors/promoters, food preparation methods, and nutrient source.
- Bones are made up of trabecular bone (spongy) and cortical bone (compact), with the majority being non-living material.
- The matrix of bones consists of collagen and other proteins, with a mineral coating that includes calcium, phosphate, carbonate, and other ions.
- There are four main types of bone cells: lining cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes.
- Bone cell action is controlled by hormones, including parathyroid hormone, calcitriol, glucocorticoids, growth factors, and calcitonin.
- Bone development occurs from birth to approximately age 20, with peak bone mass development between 12 and 30.
- Bone modeling and remodeling involve the continual resorption and replacement of bone, controlled by parathyroid hormone.
- Functions of bone include providing mechanical rigidity, protecting organs, permitting ambulation, acting as a homeostatic buffer, and serving as a storage form.
- Calcium is a key nutrient for bone formation and is mostly found in bones and teeth as hydroxyapatite or fluoroapatite.
- Blood calcium levels are tightly regulated by parathyroid hormone and calcitonin.
- Calcium absorption occurs through active transfer and passive diffusion, with factors such as vitamin D status, intestinal transit time, and age influencing absorption.
- Calcium is lost through urine, feces, sweat, skin sloughing, hair, and nails, with a total daily loss of approximately 60 mg.
- Good dietary sources of calcium include dairy products, plant-based alternatives, dried seaweed, almonds, spinach, and calcium-fortified foods.
