Osteoblasts exemplify a positive feedback process in bone mineral deposition. When new bone is formed by osteoblasts, they release proteins that stimulate further osteoblast activity and mineral deposition. This creates a cycle where bone formation encourages more bone formation.
The radioisotope Technetium-99m is commonly used in nuclear medicine for studies of bone formation. It has a short half-life and emits gamma rays that can be detected by imaging techniques to assess bone health.
Another name for bone formation is ossification.
Achondroplasia is the medical term for a genetic disorder in which there is a lack of formation of cartilage, leading to abnormal bone growth and short stature.
The order of stages of bone fracture healing is formation of a hematoma, formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, formation of a bony callus, and, finally, bone remodeling.
There are four stages in the repair of a broken bone: 1) the formation of hematoma at the break, 2) the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, 3) the formation of a bony callus, and 4) remodeling and addition of compact bone.

Yes, anabolic steroids can promote bone growth by increasing bone density and mineralization. They can stimulate osteoblast activity, leading to an increase in bone formation. However, prolonged use of steroids can also have negative effects on bone health, such as reducing bone strength and increasing the risk of fractures.
