Question
Chapter 43, Problem 12TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
Developing a correct training regimen for an older person developing osteoporosis.
Introduction:
The coach has to prepare the correct exercise program for an older person who is developing osteoporosis. Old people suffering from osteoporosis need the right kind of muscle characteristics as specialized muscles would be required in such cases for endurance and strength rather than speed.

In endochondral ossification, who are the two runners? Did each runner begin the race at the same time? Who is in the lead? How does the race end? I have some ideas but cannot decide. I was first thinking condrocytes and osteoblasts with osteoblasts finishing first with the compact bone, but then I was thinking of blasts and clasts as one builds and one removes. Also, I thought, well maybe, cartilage and osteoblasts.arrow_forwardCells in the outer lamella of an osteon receive nutrients: a) by diffusion through the extracellular matrix b) by diffusion from surrounding blood vessels c) by cell-to-cell transfer through gap junctions d) directly from the blood in perforating canalsarrow_forward
