The correct answer is C Osteitis Deformans (also known as Paget’s disease). Paget's is caused by the excessive breakdown and formation of bone, followed by disorganized bone remodeling. This causes affected bone to weaken, resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones. An elevated level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood in combination with normal calcium, phosphate, and aminotransferase levels in an elderly patient are suggestive of Paget's…

Our bones specifically are unique in nature; they reconstruct themselves in a process where cells called osteoblasts regulate bone formation while another pair of cells called osteoclasts regulate resorption of minerals such as calcium and vitamin D. Deterioration of the skeleton is due to enlarged bone weakening by osteoclasts and decreased bone development by osteoblasts, resulting as the diseases known as Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects millions of people and causes burdens to both the…

The Difference Between the Bones of Children and Adults Children go through several stages of growth before they finally reach adulthood, and their bones change along with them. As babies, their bones are softer and more flexible, so that they can bend some to be able to pass through their mother's birth canal. Then, as they grow older, they firm up considerably, but still stay softer than an adults. Children also have a difference in their growth plates that are at each end of their bones.…

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…

equator. An explanation for this is that sunlight is rich in Vitamin D and there is more sunlight near the equator, compared to areas further away from the equator. This research implies that lack of Vitamin D may be responsible for the onset of MS. If a person is deficient in Vitamin D, they may have a greater chance of getting this disease. A key area of interest in patients with MS is whether or not additional doses of Vitamin D supplements will help alleviate some of the symptoms, which…

has low blood calcium levels the parathyroid gland will act and secret PTH which will activate osteoclasts. The osteoclasts will help break down the bone and release the calcium from the bones to the blood stream. While it will also activate vitamin D which will help increase the absorption of calcium from the kidneys and intestines. Therefore, the body will keep the calcium in the blood instead of throwing it out through urine or stool. If the case was the opposite and the blood…

Paget’s disease of bone is a rather uncommon condition that effects less that 1% of the population of the United States, often presenting with no symptoms or discomfort what so ever. It isn’t known what specifically causes this disease, but it is speculated that heredity plays a big part. Paget’s disease of bone is typically pretty manageable when symptoms do present themselves with a variety of pharmaceutical remedies. Paget’s Disease of Bone Paget’s disease of bone is basically…

affect children all around the world. During the 1940s, rickets was nearly eradicated because doctors found that the cause of rickets was vitamin D deficiency. Between 1896 and 2000 less than one third of children that…

72% of the calcium in the U.S. food supply comes from milk and other dairy products. Aside from that, milk has the basic nutrients and is an important source of protein, and it’s thought to be the ‘perfect’ food. As a result, many consider milk a necessary and healthy part of every individual's diet, but that’s not necessarily true. While milk does offers many nutritional benefits, research has proven that milk, and other dairy products, are bad for one’s health. Consumption of milk can lead to…
