Intramembranous Ossification
In the skull, neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells proliferate and
condense into compact nodules.
Some of these cells develop into capillaries; others change their shape to
become osteoblasts, committed bone precursor cells. The osteoblasts
secrete a collagen-proteoglycan matrix that is able to bind calcium salts.
Occasionally, osteoblasts become trapped in the calcified matrix and
become osteocytes.
As calcification proceeds, bony spicules radiate out from the region where
ossification began.

Endochondral Ossification
Involves the formation of cartilage tissue from aggregated mesenchymal
cells, and the subsequent replacement of cartilage tissue by bone.
Can be divided into five stages:

Muscle Fatigue - muscle quickly tires and loses ability to contract; occurs
when muscles run out of energy from aerobic/anaerobic respiration.
Fatigued muscle = (Low levels of oxygen, glucose, and ATP) + (High levels of
ADP and lactic acid (waste products))
Oxygen Debt (Recovery Oxygen Uptake) - extra oxygen the body must
intake in order to restore the muscle cells to their resting state.

DETERIORATION OF THE
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Sarcopenia
a common consequence of
normal aging that describes
a gradual loss of muscle
mass and strength that
may begin at age 30
at the age of 80, muscle
strength decreases by 50%
Sarcopenia
reduction in fiber number
or fiber size or combination
of the two
reduced physical activity
is a key factor
Multifactorial

Protein Synthesis
Declines in protein synthesis involved in reduced protein mass
Not all muscle proteins display change in synthesis rates
separation of muscle proteins showed that Myosin Heavy
Chain (MHC) synthesis rates are less for the middle aged and
old aged
MHC being a key contractile protein, its reduction would lead to
a decline in locomotor function and muscle weakness.

Protein Synthesis
It is not the ability to metabolize proteins that deteriorates over
time
we lose the ability to synthesize our own proteins, and that
process would involve hormones.

Tendon Stiffening
Tendons-Cord like tissue that attaches muscles to bones
Caused mainly by the decrease of water content due to
proteoglycan deficiency caused by aging.
Limits movements
Makes tendons less able to tolerate stress
Is also caused by decrease of elastin which will result in a
decrease in flexibility
