Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The loss of calcium and other minerals from the bone extracellular matrix that occurs with aging is known as osteoporosis. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Osteoporosis: This is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density and mass, leading to fragile bones. ‖‖ b ⋮ Bone Remodeling: Bones are constantly being remodeled through a balance of bone resorption (breakdown) by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. ‖‖ c ⋮ Aging: With aging, the rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation, leading to a net loss of bone density. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Osteoporosis ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle due to the loss of calcium and other minerals from the bone extracellular matrix. This process is accelerated with aging as the balance between bone resorption and formation is disrupted. ⚹◊What role does osteoclast activity play in the loss of calcium and other minerals from the bone extracellular matrix with aging?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
