Great job! Try this question next

Where does bone growth primarily occur?

select the correct answer

At the growth plate near the epiphysis

At the surface of bones

In the bone marrow

You're on a roll!

Great job!let's make sure we understandthe main job of bones is to protect and support organscells that are responsible for making new bone tissue are osteoblastsgrowth in long bones happens at the growth plateslet's learn how that happens!

How do bones grow?

Long bones grow through a process called ossification.it begins with cartilage which is gradually replaced by bone.osteoblasts are the cells responsible for creating new bone while osteoclasts break down old bone tissueGrowth occurs at the epiphyseal plate, also know as the growth plate, where cartillage is turned into bone until the bone reaches its full length.

How do bones grow?

okay! I got it!

The process of bone growth from cartillage

I knew it!Let's move forward

Bones grow through ossification. Here's how it works:

Great! Let's review the main ideas!

• Catillage Model: bones start as cartilage, a softer tissue that serves as a blueprint for bones.
• Osteoblasts: These cells create new bone material by replacing the carilage with bone tissue.
• Osteoclasts: They break down old bone to make way for new growth; ensuring the bone remains strong and healthy
• Growth Plates: found at the ends of long bones (the epiphysis), these areas are where new bone cells are added.

What do osteoclasts do?

select the correct answer

build new bone tissue

break down bone tissue

quick questions!

show me how!

exactly! osteaclasts break down old bone tissue. This process is important for maintaining healthy bone because it allows for the removal of old damaged bone, making way for new bone!

exactly! great job!

I got it!Let's move forward

Protein

Vitamin C

Calcium

Lifestyle choices and diet can influence the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts in bone development.There are essential nutrients needed for strong bones! can you think of one that has the most impact on bone development?

What food do you think has the most calcium?

Correct! calcium is so important for healthy bones in babies and adults!

Correct!

Milk is a great source of calcium which is vital for building strong bones. Calcium helps to harden bone tissue through osteoblasts!Other calcium rich food include yogurt, cheese, and leafy greens like spinach!

Makes sense! I'm ready to review!

Good try! Although eggs do have calcium, they don't have the highest amount. Try again!
