resurge of incidents being seen? Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children also known as Osteomalacia in adults‚ usually because of a vitamin D deficiency or genetic condition. Vitamin D is what promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the Gestational Intestines tract. When a person has a vitamin D insufficiency it makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorous levels in the bones. There are several different

positioning of individuals. The spinal column is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. In between the bones there are joints that connect these together. A ligament connects bone to support joints. Muscles work by the fibers they contain contracting; this makes the muscle shorten. When the muscle shortens it pulls on the tendon and then on the bone to which it is attached. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones in limbs are covered with tissue. Not moving an individual correctly can

done in the bone marrow. 2. What is the difference between osteoclasts and osteoblasts? Osteoblasts create bone‚ while Osteoclasts break them down. The osteoblast is found on the surfaces of bone and is involved with bone deposition. The osteoclast is usually found in depressions (Howship’s lacunae) at the surfaces of bony tissue and is associated with bone resorption; it is a large multi-nucleated cell derived from blood monocytes 3. How many bones do we have in our body? 300 bones at birth

The Aging Musculoskeletal System When the bones lose mass and become brittle it is called osteoporosis. Loss of bone density accelerates in women after menopause. Mrs. Smith is an 84 year old thin‚ small boned woman. Muscles‚ bones and joints are affected by the ageing process. Osteoarthritis‚ osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis are more common in older people. Exercise to increase muscle and bone fitness can reduce or reverse the risk of disability and disease.

1. Describe bone physiology and the bone remodeling cycle. Be sure to emphasize the two types of bone tissue and the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. During our adolescent years our bones are evolving to become protracted and broader. Therefore‚ formation is occurring until we have reached our peak bone mass. The peak bone mass is usually reached by the age of 30; therefore‚ as we age formation decelerates. Essentially‚ exercising is an ethical verdict‚ especially during our matured

minerals are stored in bones? Solid mineral crystals in your bones impart them with the strength and rigidity to support your body and withstand powerful physical stresses. Calcium and phosphorus are the most abundant minerals in your bones‚ together forming calcium phosphate crystals. Your bones contain roughly 99 percent of the calcium and 85 percent of the phosphorus in your body. Other minerals stored in your bones include magnesium and fluoride. 2.)Which type of bone provides a large‚ flat
