Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bone weak and brittle. This condition is due to not having enough calcium in the bones. The bones tend to shrink and are easily broken. People with osteoporosis often have backs that are bent.

1. What do you call the condition that makes bone weak and brittle?





2. What happens to the bones when a person has osteoporosis?





3. What can you notice about a person who has osteoporosis?








Level#2

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bone weak and brittle. This condition is due to not having enough calcium in the bones. The bones tend to shrink and are easily broken. People with osteoporosis often have backs that are bent. This is because their bones have grown weak with age and their skeletons have become bent. Osteoporosis have several different causes. One main cause is a diet that is low in calcium. Over time, the body takes the calcium it needs from the bones. The bones are weakened by the loss of calcium.

1. Explain the cause of osteoporosis and what happens to the bones as a result.






2. Why do people with osteoporosis often have bent backs?

One main cause is a diet that is low in calcium. Over time, the body takes the calcium it needs from the bones. The bones are weakened by the loss of calcium. Another cause is a decrease in certain hormones as people get older. This may be why osteoporosis usually affects middle-age and elderly people. It is a more common problem among women than men. Studies show that getting calcium in the preteen and teen years is especially important for avoiding osteoporosis.

1. When you fracture a bone what have you done to it?





2. Name the two kinds of fractures that a person can have.






3. When you have a closed fracture how is the bone broken?








Level#2

Have you ever had a broken bone? Broken bones are called fractures. There are two kinds of fractures: closed and open. A closed fracture means that the bone is broken in place. In an open fracture, the skin and muscle around the broken bone are torn. Most fractures will heal if they are set in a cast. The cast hold the broken bone in place so the bone can grow back together. In very bad breaks, pins are sometimes placed in the bones to help the bone heal.

Level#1

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals from the foods you eat.

1. What two things to cells do to bone tissue?






2. What is released from bone, when it is broken down, for use inside the body?






3. How does the body replace the minerals that are lost from bone when it is broken down?








Level#2

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals from the foods you eat. The building up and breaking down of your bones changes the size and shape of your bones as you age. At some point in your life, you may go through "an awkward stage" because of the way your bones grow. The first bones to grow quickly are usually your foot bones. Then, your arm and hand bones grow quickly.

1. What two jobs do cells do to change how bones grow?





2. What happens when bone tissue is broken down and how does the body replace the minerals bones lose during this process?





3. Because your bones do not grow at the same time, what does this cause?

Then, your arm and hand bones grow quickly. Because of this uneven growth, arms, hands, and feet may look too big for the rest of the body. This does not last long. After a while, the rest of the body catches up.

1. Explain what happens when bone is broken down and what the body does to replace the minerals that are lost in this process.

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals from the foods you eat.

1. When bones are broken down, what happens to some of the minerals that were inside of the bones?






2. What do bones do, that allows your body to get bigger, as you get older?






3. What two jobs do cells do that allow your bones to grow and change?








Level#2

Bones grow and change. Some cells help build bone tissue. Some cells break down bone tissue. When bone tissue is broken down, some of the minerals inside bones are released into the body for use. However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals from the foods you eat. The building up and breaking down of your bones changes the size and shape of your bones as you age. At some point in your life, you may go through "an awkward stage" because of the way your bones grow. The first bones to grow quickly are usually your foot bones. Then, your arm and hand bones grow quickly.

1. What two things do cells have to do to allow your body to grow and change over time?





2. What does the body do with the minerals that are released when bone tissue is broken down?





3. How does the body usually replace the minerals that are lost when bone tissue is broken down?

At some point in your life, you may go through "an awkward stage" because of the way your bones grow. The first bones to grow quickly are usually your foot bones. Then, your arm and hand bones grow quickly. Because of this uneven growth, arms, hands, and feet may look too big for the rest of the body. This does not last long. After a while, the rest of the body catches up.

1. Describe the process that goes on that allows a person to change their size and shape as the grow older.





2. Explain the two jobs that cells do to allow bones to grow and change, and what happens when bone tissue is broken down.







3. Explain, what happens when bone tissue is broken down and how the body replaces minerals bone lose during this process.

Level#1

The centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones are not as hard as compact bones. These softer parts of bone are called spongy bone. They even look like sponges because they are filled with many spaces. The spaces are filled with connective tissue and blood vessels.

1. What is the name of the softer parts of bone?






2. What does spongy bone look like?







3. What are the spaces in spongy bone filled with?








Level#2

The centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones are not as hard as compact bones. These softer parts of bone are called spongy bone. They even look like sponges because they are filled with many spaces. The spaces are filled with connective tissue and blood vessels. Although they are softer than compact bones, spongy bones are quite strong. The spaces in them form a support structure that is lightweight. Spongy bones provide support to areas in bones where there is great pressure and stress.

1. How are the centers of flat bones and the ends of long bones different from compact bones?






2. Describe the insides of spongy bones.







3. List three specific ways that make spongy bone unique








Level#3

They even look like sponges because they are filled with many spaces. The spaces are filled with connective tissue and blood vessels. Although they are softer than compact bones, spongy bones are quite strong. The spaces in them form a support structure that is lightweight. Spongy bones provide support to areas in bones where there is great pressure and stress. The centers of your bones are filled with marrow. Marrow makes blood cells. Marrow is red or yellow in color. Red marrow actively makes red blood cells. Yellow marrow is not active. It is found in the center of long bones. Yellow marrow is made mostly of fat cells.

1. Explain what spongy bone looks like and has inside of it.






2. Explain the unique structure of spongy bone to a person who know nothing about it.







3. Explain where bone marrow is found, what it can look like, and the differences between red and yellow marrow.
