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:
The correct answer is: B, C, D,F, G, H.
Explanation:
Aneuploidy is a defect on the number of chromosomes a cell has. Human cells have 46 chromosomes, an additional chromosome (47) or a missing one (45) is an aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is usually due to a defect during cell division (chromosomes don’t separate). The following disease are examples of aneuploidy:
b. Down's syndrome (trisomy of chromosome 21)
c. Edward's syndrome (trisomy of chromosome 18)
d. Jacob's syndrome (a male with an extra Y chromosome)
f. Turner's syndrome (a female missing a X chromosome)
g. Klinefelter's syndrome (a male with an extra X chromosome)
h. Patau's syndrome (trisomy of chromosome 13)
Myocardial infarction is Heart attack.
Myocardial infraction causes death and disability worldwide.
What is Myocardial infraction?
- Myocardial infraction can be life threatening.
- Myocardial infraction has a host of causes and is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and death in humans.
- Myocardial infraction is categorized according to the region of the heart affected.
- The classification includes left ventricular anterior, left ventricular inferior and posterior.

Your respiratory system relies on your circulatory system to deliver the oxygen it gathers, while the muscles of your heart cannot function without the oxygen they receive from your lungs. The bones of your skull and spine protect your brain and spinal cord, but your brain regulates the position of your bones by controlling your muscles.
