A student has learned about aging and the musculoskeletal system. What statement by the student indicates a need for more study on the topic?


▸ Haversian system erodes, the canals nearest the marrow cavity widen, and the endosteal cortex converts to spongy bone.

▸ The remodeling cycle increases because of a decreased ability of the basic multicellular units to resorb and deposit bone.

▸ Cartilaginous rigidity increases because of decreasing water content and decreasing concentrations of glycosaminoglycans.

▸ Muscle ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis declines, although the regenerative function of muscle tissue is reportedly normal in older adults.
