Term

Definition
| puberty increases what hormone that causes cessation of cartilage proliferation at the growth plate of long bones? |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| generalized increase of bone mass, caused by congenital osteoclast hypofunction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Bone has less mass and is brittle because is no longer being remodeled, caused by immobalized/bedridden, lack of estogen |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| decreased absorption of calcium by the intestine, so calcium-deficiency resulting in rickets or osteomalacia [adults] |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| deficiency in it suppresses endochondral growth of bone, leading to fragility or long bone fractures |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| deficiency in this prevents hydroxylation of proline and lysine, resulting in a weakened collagen fiber content and bone matrix that can't be calcified [scurvy] |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This stimulates cartilage proliferation and bone growth, over secretion leads to gigantism [acromegaly] |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Absence or oversecretion during development/infancy leads to failure of bone growth or dwarfism |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| regulates growth rate, closes epiphyseal plate at puberty, decreased levels play a role in decreased bone deposited and decreased remodeling [osteoporosis] in later life. |
|
|
Term
| parathyroid hormone [PTH] |
|
Definition
| increases osteoclast activity to liberate calcium. Increased serum calcium levels |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| inhibits osteoclat activity, promotes calcium deposition in bone. lower serum calcium levels |
