the calcium level in the blood and in tissues that need calcium to function properly. When the calcium level increases‚ it will cause symptoms that point to hyperparathyroidism. The extra calcium in the blood comes from the bones so fractures can occur. Blood work as well as bone density scanning will be used to diagnose hyperparathyroidism. Treatment at first will try to correct the high calcium level by dilution with IV fluids and Lasix. If the condition is severe‚ the parathyroid gland that is malfunctioning

A bone fracture is a medical condition where the continuity of the bone is broken. Most bone fractures occur because of high force impact or stress. However‚ medical conditions which weaken the bone may also be the cause of a fracture. A crack (not only break) in the bone is also known as a fracture. Among health care professionals break is a much less common term when talking about bones. However‚ both break and fracture mean that the normal bone structure has been disrupted

diet. Both are needed for children to develop strong bones. Any child who does not get enough vitamin D or calcium can develop rickets. It is more common in children of Asian‚ African-Caribbean and Middle Eastern origin because their skin is darker and needs more sunlight to get enough vitamin D. Babies born prematurely are also at risk of developing rickets because babies build up stores of vitamin D while in the womb. Symptoms Fragile bones‚ poor growth and skeletal deformities can all lead

relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the muscular/skeletal system (skeletal‚ smooth and cardiac muscles‚ bones‚ cartilage‚ ligaments‚ tendons) works with other systems to support the body and allow for movement.

Carbohydrates‚ if highly eliminated from the diet‚ are most frequently replaced with protein. The increase in protein very much effects bone health and calcium absorption and excretion. There are conflicting studies as to which way this is influenced. Type II Diabetes – Many treatments for type II diabetes suggest a high carbohydrate

While completing research for this paper‚ I would like to become educated of all the skeletal diseases that exist‚ and their harmful effects to the body. I would like to gain knowledge of the deficiencies of the bones that these diseases create. The skeletal system is a huge part of our everyday lives; therefore I would like to learn about the tolls these diseases take on patients‚ and their everyday lives. Without the bones in the skeletal

The following tissues are found in the human body‚ ordinary loose connective tissue‚ fat tissue‚ dense fibrous tissue‚ cartilage‚ bone‚ blood‚ and lymph. These are all part of the connective tissue. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary type of muscle tissue that is used in contraction of skeletal parts. Smooth

it increases the risk for bone loss and heart disease. Eighty percent of adults with osteoporosis are women (National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases‚ 2006). Osteoporosis‚ often called the “silent epidemic”‚ is a disease that takes a lifetime to develop and consequently a lifetime to prevent. It is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue with no outward signs or symptoms until late in the disease when bones become much fragile and are
