Osteoporosis is a disease of the skeletal system that is often thought to be just a disease of postmenopausal women. Men are carriers of the disease and account for 25 to 30 percent of all hip fractures because of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is on the rise in America and seems to be on a scaling upward trend without signs of slowing. Recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, doctors are performing experiments with the drug alendronate to increase bone density. In this study 241 men, ages…

Title: When the fat content of milk was increased, the mass of the curd produced increased? Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the relationship between the fat content of milk and the mass of the curd produced. Background info: Dairy products are essential to a healthy diet. Dairy products such as milk contain proteins and healthy fats that are very beneficial to the human body. They allow our bones to grow and they also add to keeping our teeth healthy. Milk also…

Hypercalcaemia The abnormally rapid process of bone regeneration associated with Paget's disease can sometimes lead to a build-up of calcium in the blood. This is hypercalcaemia. Hypercalcaemia only occurs in people with Paget's disease who have been confined to bed after having an operation or a fracture. However, even in these circumstances hypercalcaemia is quite rare. Symptoms of hypercalcaemia…

Endochondral Ossification All osteogenic tissue from the neck down is made by endochondral ossification, with the exception of the clavicles. The model that bone will eventually replace is composed of hyaline cartilage, the most common cartilage, this process tends to be more difficult than intramembranous ossification since all hyaline cartilage most be decomposed as bone tissue is created. Everything begins at the primary ossification center, which is located in the center of diaphysis of the…

HuHip Fractures Population at Greatest Risk for Hip Fractures Population at greatest risk for hip fractures is older people with osteoporosis, especially white women. The elderly have weaker bone due to osteoporosis and they are more likely to fall due to conditions such as neurological impairment, impaired vision, poor balance, side effects from medications, institutional living, physical inactivity, and difficulty maneuvering around environmental hazards. After a hip fracture, many are…

Calcium chlorate is a very dangerous chemical. It has the ability to harm whoever is around it. It is important to be extremely cautious and pay close attention to what you are doing when working with this product.

It is produced by the chlorination of milk of lime. It is produced by passing chlorine gas through a…

Calcium is a nutrient that the body needs for the health of its bones. According the Academy of Nutrition one should “build a healthy balance in your ‘calcium bank account.” (“What is Calcium?” n.d.). If one’s intake of calcium is done at different times throughout the day, absorption will be enhanced. But what is too much consumption or supplementation. Storage of calcium is in the bones or skeletal system. “Calcium is also essential for the normal function of muscles, blood vessels, and…

1. Calcium is the fifth common element in the earth’s crust, and is found predominantly in feldspar, calcite, dolomite, and apatite, as a primary and secondary mineral. Calcium is found in lime stone but is also added as lime and in fertilizers. However, Calcium is not added as the soil is insufficient in Calcium, but to increase the pH. Calcium is a macro-nutrient which is essential in plant growth, the functioning of root tips, and is a main constituent in the cell wall. The amount of Calcium…

literature Ksp for calcium hydroxide is 5.02×〖10〗^(-6), which is a relatively large Ksp value. This goes against the “rules of solubility” that labels calcium hydroxide as insoluble. According to the “rules of solubility”, calcium hydroxide should not be soluble in water; however, our results reveal that it does have some degree of solubility at standard conditions. We know this because we started with an initial concentration of calcium hydroxide and no concentration of either calcium or…
