Which long-term consequence occurs when periosteum tearing continues?

💡 Explanation

Stress fractures commonly result from continuous periosteum tearing because increased osteoclast activity due to *bone remodeling* weakens the bone structure; therefore, stress fractures occur, rather than increased density as bone mass decreases.

• Why does decreased muscle mass (sarcopenia) during aging exacerbate insulin resistance in skeletal muscle?
• During intense anaerobic exercise, which failure mode becomes most likely as the sarcolemma's ability to maintain ion gradients diminishes due to ATP depletion?
