remodeling.

10) What is found in a Haversian canal?

Answer: Blood vessels and nerve fibers.
Diff: 1 Page Ref: 160

11) Several hormones control the remodeling of bones. Which two respond to changing blood
calcium levels?
Answer: PTH and calcitonin are the major determinants of whether and when remodeling will
occur in response to changing blood calcium.
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 166

12) Why are the bones of young children much more flexible than those of the elderly?
Answer: Bones of children are not completely calcified, with a higher ratio of more flexible
organic fibers. Bones in the elderly are more completely calcified, which gives the characteristic
of rigidity.
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 163-164

13) Bones appear to be lifeless structures. Does bone material renew itself?
Answer: Bone only appears lifeless in gross anatomy. Microscopically, bone is full of cells and
blood vessels that maintain and renew bone tissue. Approximately 5% to 7% of our bone mass is
recycled each week. Up to 0.5 g of calcium may enter or leave the bones each day, depending on
the negative feedback hormonal mechanism and gravitational forces.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 165-168

14) Compare the function of the organic materials in the bone matrix with the function of the
inorganic materials in the matrix.
Answer: The organic matrix contributes to the bone structure and its tensile strength, while the
inorganic matrix contributes to hardness and resistance to compression.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 160-162

15) What are the differences between the diaphysis and the epiphyses of long bones?
Answer: Diaphyseal bone is composed almost entirely of compact bone (except in irregular and
short bones), while the epiphyses are composed almost entirely of spongy bone. The epiphyses
are on the ends of the bone; the diaphysis is the "shank" of the bone. The diaphysis in long bones
has a large medullary cavity, whereas the epiphyses do not.

16) Describe how oxygen is carried from outside a bone to an individual osteocyte.
Answer: Blood vessels enter through the periosteum into a perforating canal. The vessel may
follow along the axis of the bone through a central canal. Osteocytes have long, almost dendritic-
like extensions or arms that reach out through tiny holes called canaliculi. The canaliculi connect
one cell to another and to the central canal. Oxygen leaves the blood vessel in the central canal
and travels through the canaliculi from cell to cell until it reaches the cell in question.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 160

17) How is the beginning of intramembranous ossification different from endochondral

ossification?
Answer: Intramembranous ossification starts in connective tissue from mesenchymal cells that
become osteoblasts. These osteoblasts cluster together into an ossification center. Endochondral
ossification starts with a hyaline cartilage "template." Mesenchymal cells become osteoblasts and
begin forming bone around the cartilage.

Diff: 3 Page Ref: 162-163

18) If your doctor notices a marked decrease in calcium ion levels in your blood, what gland
might he suspect is not functioning properly and why?
Answer: The parathyroid gland normally responds to low calcium ion levels in the blood and
releases PTH, which mobilizes osteoclasts to step up bone destruction, releasing more calcium
into the bloodstream. Persistent low blood calcium level therefore implies insufficient PTH,
suggesting injury or failure of the parathyroid glands.

6.5 Clinical Questions

1) Alice and James adopted a 3-year-old child from a developing country. They noticed that her
legs were bowed and there were some deformities in her cranial and pelvic bones. They brought
her to a physician for a diagnosis. What was the diagnosis, and what was the treatment for the
disorder?
Answer: The child most likely has rickets, a condition caused by poor diet, especially one
deficient in vitamin D. The parents were told to increase her intake of calcium and vitamin D and
to make sure that she gets some sunshine every day.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 171

2) Emily, a 64-year-old formerly obese woman who successfully lost over 100 pounds, was
brought to the hospital suffering pain in her legs, and an X-ray revealed that she had a simple
fracture in her right femur and a crack in her left tibia. Other tests revealed that her bones were
brittle and porous. What might have happened to Emily, and what advice would she have been
given by the physician?
Answer: Emily has osteoporosis, a debilitating bone disease that strikes more women than men
after age 45-50. The bones become weak and brittle due to osteoclast out pacing of osteoblast in
the bone. Emily has been told that she needs to take supplements of Ca, Vitamin D, and do
weight baring exercise.

3) A 75-year-old woman and her 9-year-old granddaughter were victims of a train crash. In both
cases, trauma to the chest was sustained. X rays of the grandmother revealed several fractured
ribs, but her granddaughter had none. Explain these different findings.
Answer: The child had more organic material in her bones, which allows bones to be more
flexible, while her grandmother's bones are extensively calcified, with little organic material, and
are probably thin due to osteoporosis.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 164-165, 171

4) Johnny fractured the lower third of his right tibia in a skiing accident. The soft tissues in the
area were severely damaged and their surgical removal was necessary. After prolonged
immobilization, it was found that Johnny was healing very poorly. The explanation offered by
the orthopedic surgeon was that vascularization of the fracture site was still inadequate and good
healing was absolutely dependent upon an adequate blood supply. Describe how a long bone
receives its blood supply and trace the path of nutrient delivery to the osteocytes.
Answer: Long bones are nourished by nutrient arteries that frequently enter the shaft. Removal
of the soft tissues probably reduced the flow of blood to the affected area. The pathway requires
transport of nutrients from blood vessels to periosteum to Volkmann's canals to Haversian canals
to canaliculi to lacunae.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 158-160

5) People who live in the north should take supplemental calcium with vitamin D. Explain why.
Answer: Vitamin D is manufactured by the skin using sunlight and is needed for absorption of
dietary calcium. People who live in the north where the winter months are severe may need
supplemental vitamin D because of the decreased amount of sunlight exposure.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 166, 171

6) When does prevention of osteoporosis start?

Answer: The prevention of osteoporosis should begin with children. Parents need to provide
children with the opportunity to develop as much bone as they have inherited the ability to
develop. If people increase their peak bone mass as young adults, they will have additional
protection from osteoporotic fractures in the future.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 172

7) If your elderly patient's blood calcium level is normal, does that mean the patient does not
have osteoporosis? Explain.
Answer: No. The level of calcium in the blood is expected to be normal, even in advanced cases
of osteoporosis. The calcium in the bones will be low, but that occurs in order to maintain a
normal blood calcium level.

8) Mrs. Brown was outside on her patio cleaning windows when she fell off her step ladder and
fractured her right hip. She had emergency surgery with an open reduction and internal fixation
of the right hip. Three days postoperatively, she asks you if she will have trouble going through
airport security. What has prompted her concern?
Answer: Open reduction is the correction of the bone alignment through a surgical incision. It
may include internal fixation of the fracture with the use of rods, wire, screws, pins, or nails,
metal items that may trigger security alarms.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 169

9) How can a tooth be moved in a bony socket during orthodontic treatment?

Answer: Because bone deposition and reabsorption can occur, and because bone responds to
mechanical stress (Wolff's law), a tooth can be moved. By applying slight pressure to a tooth, the
bone on the forward side will reabsorb, while the bone on the reverse side will be reformed.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 166-167

10) Explain why swimming is not generally recommended as an exercise to prevent

osteoporosis.
Answer: Mechanical stress and gravity help to promote skeletal remodeling. Swimming is not
considered a weight-bearing exercise. The water, not bones, supports the body's weight while
swimming.
