Understanding Bone Basics and Healing

Why might breaking a bone be considered less severe compared to other injuries?

• Bones heal faster than any other tissue.

• Bones do not require medical attention.

• Bones are more predictable in their healing process.

• Bones are less important than other tissues.

What is the significance of reaching peak bone mass?

• It indicates the end of bone growth.

• It reduces the likelihood of future bone fractures.

• It determines your final height.

• It stops bone remodeling.

What is the first step in the bone healing process after a fracture?

• Weight-bearing exercises

• Inflammation and blood clotting

• Bone remodeling

• Formation of new bone cells

How does weight-bearing activity affect bones?

• It only affects muscle strength.

• It has no effect on bone strength.

• It weakens the bones over time.

• It encourages bone remodeling and strengthening.

Why do astronauts need to perform weight-bearing exercises in space?

• To increase their height

• To improve cardiovascular health

• To prevent muscle loss

• To maintain bone strength in zero gravity
