Question

Mechanical stress occurs in the form of weight-bearing movement and ____________ , and it is required for normal bone ____________ . stress is detected by ____________ and communicated to ____________ . these cells then ____________ synthesis of osteoid, and this is followed by ____________ of mineral salts. bone strength ____________ over a period of time in response to mechanical stress.

Answer 1

Mechanical stress occurs in the form of weight bearing movement and exercise, and it is required for normal bone remodeling. Stress is detected by osteocytes and communicated to osteoblast. These cells then increase synthesis of esteoid, and this is followed by deposition of mineral salts. Bone strength increases over a period of time in response to mechanical stress.
