Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells that can go dormant when not needed.

Answer: A and G
 Fan-beam DXA and pencil-beam DXA are both types of bone densitometry scans that use X-ray technology to measure bone density.

Answer: C
 WHO stands for World Health Organization, which provides guidelines for the diagnosis of osteoporosis based on bone density measurements.

Answer: D
 SPA stands for single-photon absorptiometry, a type of bone densitometry scan that measures bone density using a radioactive substance.

Answer: F
 Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle due to loss of bone mass and density.

Answer: H
 Osteoclasts are bone cells that break down and reabsorb bone tissue, which can contribute to bone loss and osteoporosis.

Answer: I
 NEXT stands for "non-invasive evaluation of the x-chromosome in osteoporosis," a genetic test that can help predict the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Answer: J
 Small stature is a risk factor for osteoporosis, as individuals with smaller bones have less bone mass and density to begin with.
