Level#1

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones 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 is osteoporosis?





2. What causes osteoporosis and what happens to the bones?





3. How could you tell by looking at a person that they have osteoporosis?









Level#2

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones 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 has 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. What causes osteoporosis and what happens to the bones as a result?





2. What does a person with osteoporosis look like and what is the cause?





3. What is the main cause of osteoporosis and how does it happen?

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones 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 has 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. 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. Explain how you can tell if a person has osteoporosis and what caused it to happen.







2. Explain one cause of osteoporosis and how this cause creates this condition.







3. Explain another cause of osteoporosis and who it usually affects.

Level#1

Have you ever had a broken bone? Broken bones are also called fractures. There are two kinds of fractures: closed and open. A closed fracture means that the bone is broken in place.

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 also 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 the muscle around the broken bone are torn. Most fractures will heal if they are set in a cast. The cast holds 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.

1. Describe the two types of fractures that can happen to a bone.





2. Describe what a cast does for a broken bone.





3. Explain what is sometimes done to help a very bad break heal properly.

Follow these first aid steps: Do not move the broken bone. Do not move the person if you can help it. Keep the person warm. If there is bleeding, cover the broken skin with a clean bandage. If you see a bone outside the skin, do not try to force it back inside. Wait for a doctor. Get help as quickly as you can.

1. Explain the two types of fractures that can happen to a bone.





2. In the case of a very bad fracture, what can be done 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 form the foods you eat.


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





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





3. How does the body replace the minerals that are lost form 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 form 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?







Level#3

However, your body normally replaces those minerals with minerals form 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. 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.






2. Explain what the building up and breaking down of bones causes.






3. Explain what happens as a result of the uneven growth of certain parts of the body.
