<u>Answer:</u>
Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?
A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>
Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?
A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>
Q: What treatments are available?
A: Medication, healthy food.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.
A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.
A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.

Explanation:
In the Precipitation Map of Washington, the dark orange section indicates low rainfall in the region. Using the Shaded Relief Map of Washington, you can tell that this area is flat, possibly a plain. These areas normally don't get a lot of moisture. The Washington Precipitation Map has regions that are dark purple and dark orange. This means that they both get a lot of rain every year. If you look at these areas on the Washington Shaded Relief Map, you can see that these areas with a lot of rainfall are mountainous.
On the Washington Precipitation Diagram, purple/blue means more rain, and orange/red means less rain. Washington's Shaded Relief Map shows the mountains (br)
Answer:
The kidneys take of up more Ca2+ and release vitamin D. The bones release Ca2+. The intestines increase reabsorption of Ca2+.
