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.
Answer:
I apologize for being a few days late, but I believe the answer is 24.
Explanation:
One gallon has 4 quarts, so half a gallon would have 2 quarts. If you take the denominator of 1/12 and multiply it by two you would get 24.
True
Explanation:Whenever an acid donates a proton, the acid changes into a base, and whenever a base accepts a proton, an acid is formed. An acid and a base which differ only by the presence or absence of a proton are called a conjugate acid-base pair. ... Similarly, HF is the conjugate acid of F–, and F– the conjugate base of HF
