nasty-shy [4]3 years ago
3 0

Rickets is a disease of growing bones. Consequently, it usually is seen in young, weaned, growing pigs in which there is a deficiency, an imbalance, or a failure of utilization of calcium, phosphorous or vitamin D. Rickets usually is caused by a dietary deficiency of vitamin D or phosphorus. And Osteoporosis a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D. More than 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, but most do not realize that they have it.

One of the big differences is one occurs mostly to pigs and the other effects adults.Another difference is one occurs while the bones are growing and the other happens after the bones are already grown. I hope this helps!!!

The type of membrane that protects internal organs from friction is a ________ membrane.
madreJ [45]

Solution:

The type of membrane that protects internal organs from friction is known as serous membrane.

It is the transparent liquid that is found in the body cavities. When looking for a direct location, it is mostly found in the heart, lung, and abdominal cavity. Serous fluid acts as a lubricant for organs. By lying within the membrane near the organ, it helps the organ move easily for functioning and reduces stress and friction the organ may have against other organs. The lungs, for example, constantly move to provide air for the body. This fluid allows for this motion and prevents the wear and tear that might occur without serous fluid.

Although serous fluid is important for lubrication, it also can be very harmful to the body. Some diseases cause the serous glands to produce too much serous fluid. As a result is that the membranes that hold the serous fluids are not allowing the organ to move or function properly. This could not only be serious for our lungs but also for our heart that needs to move to supply blood to the body.  

This is the required answer.

What is the most abundant and most important inorganic compound in the body?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The correct answer is water. Since carbon is the common element of organic compounds, the molecule of an organic material must have at least one carbon atom in its molecule. Water does not contain any carbon atom in its molecule, H2O. So water is only an inorganic compound.  <span>It is the most abundant and important inorganic compound in living material. It makes up about 60-80% of the volume of most living cells.</span>
