Anatomy Study Paper
I Search Paper Savannah Clark Michaella Tran
On the topic of skeletal diseases, I have no prior knowledge. I am aware that a skeletal disease is a medical condition that affects the bones, but that is the extent of my knowledge. While completing research for this paper, I would like to become educated of all the skeletal diseases that exist, and their harmful effects to the body. I would like to gain knowledge of the deficiencies of the bones that these diseases create. The skeletal system is a huge part of our everyday lives; therefore I would like to learn about the tolls these diseases take on patients, and their everyday lives. Without the bones in the skeletal system, there would be no movement or structure to our bodies. Although I wish to learn about a variety of skeletal diseases, I have decided to focus on one main disease. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bones to become brittle and weak. This is due to the extensive loss of bone marrow. It is thought of to be the thinning of the bones. The cause of this disease is poorly understood, but it is believed that the bone remodeling process is interrupted by this disease. Fortunately, the disease is treatable, and can be treated with osteoporosis medications. Osteoporosis tends to result in fractures to the wrist, hip and spine. I find this disease particularly interesting because of the fact that the bones become so weak; that a cough is enough to create a fracture. Our bones are made to be strong, supportive, and protective, to think that a disease can make the bones extremely brittle catches my attention. It would become very difficult for a person with this disease to complete everyday activities. Their bodies would become extremely feeble and it would be challenging to live a normal life. I have completed my research by use of the internet. I came across websites that contained detailed information about the diseases. They were very helpful, and beneficial to the production of this
