The body constantly absorbs and replaces bone tissue. With osteoporosis, new bone creation doesn’t keep up with old bone removal. Osteoporosis is a bone disease, bones become weak and may break from a fall or other serious cases.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

basale - spinosum - granulosum - lucidum - corneum.  

Explanation:

The order of strata in the epidermis:

  • Basale: it is the deepest stratum. It has one layer of cells called keratinocytes, which are stem cells for the epidermis.
  • Spinosum: The keratinocytes in this layer have spiny shapes. They synthesize cytokeratin and lipids. In this layer, we can also find macrophages.
  • Granulosum: The keratinocytes of the previous layer ascend and synthesize keratohyalin, which is in granules. The keratohyalin helps to join keratin filaments. Also, the cells release the lipids synthesized in the previous layer, and they form a barrier that stops dehydration.
  • Lucidum: it is only on thick skin, like the one in the sole of the feet. The keratinocytes in this layer have expelled the nucleus and now are dead cells. The keratinocytes have a flat shape and form a thin layer.
  • Corneum: it is the most superficial layer. It is made of dead keratinocytes filled with keratin in their cytoplasm. It is a thick layer that suffers desquamation when new dead cells filled with keratin ascend from the previous layer.

For what purpose is mitochondrial genomics used
bezimeni [28]

<span>The mitochondria are famously known as the powerhouse of the cell since it is the one that gives the cells energy that is also used by the human being.  This energy conversion is called oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells, including humans.  These organelles also had its own genome, or what we called as DNA which is known as mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA which is present in the mitochondrial matrix.  The role of mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA is to convert the energy from food into any other forms that it thinks the cell can use.  It is containing 37 genes which are all necessary for a normal mitochondrial function.</span>
