Questions and Answers

What are the main functions of bone?

  • Facilitating muscle movement, aiding in digestion, regulating hormone production
  • Supporting the body, protecting internal organs, serving as a reservoir of inorganic substances (correct)
  • Filtering toxins, synthesizing vitamins, generating energy
  • Producing blood cells, storing fat, maintaining body temperature
  • What components make up bone tissue?

  • Blood cells and plasma
  • Adipocytes and reticular fibers
  • Cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts) and collagenous fibers (correct)
  • Chondrocytes and elastic fibers
  • What is the importance of vitamin D to bone structure and stability?

  • It is important for bone structure and stability, and deficiency can lead to diseases (correct)
  • It primarily affects muscle function rather than bone health
  • It has no significant impact on bone health
  • It only affects bone density in children
  • How is bone described in terms of its rigidity and living nature?

    Study Notes

    Functions of Bone

    • Provides framework for body shape and supports muscles, organs, and tissues
    • Protects internal organs, such as the heart, lungs, and brain
    • Acts as a storage site for minerals like calcium and phosphorus
    • Enables movement through the attachment of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
    • Produces blood cells through the bone marrow

    Components of Bone Tissue

    • Organic matrix (35%): primarily made up of collagen fibers
    • Inorganic matrix (65%): primarily made up of hydroxyapatite, a calcium phosphate mineral
    • Bone cells: osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes
    • Bone marrow: a spongy tissue inside some bones that produces blood cells

    Importance of Vitamin D

    • Essential for calcium absorption and bone mineralization
    • Maintains bone density and strength, preventing conditions like osteoporosis
    • Helps regulate parathyroid hormone, which controls calcium levels in the blood

    Bone Characteristics

    • Rigid yet dynamic: rigid enough to support the body, yet able to change shape through bone remodeling
    • Living tissue: contains bone cells that are constantly being replaced and renewed
    • Highly vascularized: contains blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to bone cells

    Lecture Overview

    • The lecture will discuss the structure, functions, and importance of bone in the human body
