Why does the release of cortisol during the stress response have a negative effect on bone density?
Cortisol increases serum calcium to fuel muscle contraction during the fight or flight responseCortisol reduces estrogen production and triggers early menopause
Cortisol draws calcium out of the bones to increase serum calcium to fuel muscle contraction during the fight or flight response
Cortisol decreases calcium to fuel muscle contraction during the fight or flight response

- Discuss the role of osteoclasts, osteoblasts, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin in bone growth.arrow_forwardGrowth hormone, or GH, is used medically to spur growth in children who are unusually short because they have a GH deficiency. However, it is useless for a short but otherwise normal 25-year-old to request GH treatment in order to grow taller. Why?arrow_forwardIn this model, does the osteoporosis bone have more or less calcium? Explain by providing the possible cause, particularly the hormone responsible for the condition, the functions of the hormone, the type of cell which serves as effectors in the negative feedback loop, and another hormone that is also involved in bone mineralization.arrow_forward
- Describe how bone growth occurs during development.arrow_forwardBone remodeling in adults is regulated and directed mainly by (a) growth hormone, (b) thyroid hormones, (c) sex hormones, (d) mechanical stress, (e) PTH.arrow_forwardBone development continues throughout adulthood. Even after adult stature is attained, bone development continues for the repair of fractures and for remodeling to meet changing lifestyles. Can you explain in details what hormones are critical for bone development and maintenance?arrow_forward
- can you solve histology and embryology questions? for example describe the process of bone formation and bone remodeling and repair explain what would be the result if there were an imbalance between bone reabsorption and formation.arrow_forwardWhat role do biophysical and biochemical context play in development structure for bone in load bearing? (in bullet form)arrow_forwardWhy is it important for bone remodeling to occur?arrow_forward
- How is bone growth affected by the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone?arrow_forwardEstrogena. stimulates a burst of growth at puberty.b. causes a later closure of the epiphyseal plate than testosterone does.c. causes a longer growth period in females than testosterone causesin males.d. tends to prolong the growth phase of the epiphyseal plates.e. All of these are correct.arrow_forwardWhich of the following DOES NOT contribute to bone remodeling and growth? O androgens O parathyroid hormones O vitamin D OHGH O sex hormones « Previous Nextarrow_forward
