Bones play many roles in the body — providing structure‚ protecting organs‚ anchoring muscles and storing calcium. While it’s important to build strong and healthy bones during childhood and adolescence‚ you can take steps during adulthood to protect bone health‚ too. Why is bone health important? Your bones are continuously changing — new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you’re young‚ your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone‚ and your bone mass increases.

Bones support‚ move‚ and protect the body; they also give us our features. But without bone cells we would have no bones. Bone cells are the living units that make up your bones and keep them functioning. Bone cells have two major roles‚ which are the production of new bones and resorption or destruction of old bone. They also carry out other small roles. There are four main types of bone cells: Osteogenic‚ which are bone cells that respond to traumas‚ osteoblasts‚ which form bone matrix around themselves

Identifying a Bone Deformity Identifying a bone deformity is fairly easy if the bone is twisted or curved significantly enough that anyone could visually look at it and see that something is definitely wrong. However‚ sometimes‚ the deformities are less noticeable. In these cases‚ a doctor must do a thorough examination of the limb that is being disfigured. Measurements are taken to compare it with the other matching limb. X-rays and bone density analysis tests are sometimes also needed too. Causes

Lab 34-2: 1. The general trend for bone density as a person ages is a steady decline as years pass. This study shows that every decade‚ males and females bone density slowly decreases. 2. Between the ages of 20-50 females lose about 11% of their bone density and males lose about 13% of their bone density. Males do in fact lose more density then females but they lose it at a more stable and steady rate. Females lose less density at more unstable rate going from about 6% (40-50) to about 9%

body‚ as such‚ the organisation of the bone tissue is very important. Bone tissue can be broken down into macroscopic and microscopic organisation. Working from the superficial surface to the median of a bones anatomy‚ macroscopic tissue structure is organised as follows; compact bone‚ spongy bone‚ the medullary cavity and on the surface of the compact bone at the distal and proximal epiphyses of long bones is the connective articular cartilage. The compact bone is the supportive‚ protective shell

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex‚ pose a significant health risk to the patient‚ or fail to heal properly.Bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely but requires a very small fracture space or some sort of scaffold to do so. Bone grafts may be autologous harvested from the patient’s own body‚ often from the allograft or synthetic with similar mechanical properties to bone. Most bone grafts
