Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.
Explanation:
In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.
Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.
Common features of osteoporosis are:
--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.
--> bone pain
--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.
It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.
Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.
Scientists should constantly make observations about the world around them, and think about different causes and contexts for their
observations.

Answer:
Parathyroid (PTH)
Explanation:
In the kidney, parathyroid hormone (PTH) blocks reabsorption of phosphate in the proximal tubule while promoting calcium reabsorption in the ascending loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting tubule. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) promotes absorption of calcium from the bone in 2 ways.
Confirmatory Tests vary, and may be wrong from time to time. As time passes, the test is not as reliable as stated. If the so called "blood" is on a leather surface, blood isn't too prone to sticking to leather, so it may (or may not) be blood.
Answer: c.a decrease in women’s wages
Explanation:
The fertility can be define as the capability of the organism to produce offsprings. As a measure of the fertility, the fertility rate can be calculated by the number of offsprings born per mating event by a mating pair or by the individual organism.
The pyschological factors such as anxiety, depression and stress all are responsible for reducing and limiting the fertility in humans. A decrease in the women's wage is likely to reduce her fertility this can indirectly affect the involuntary functions of the reproductive system. Thus the reproductive system becomes infertile.
