Contentious BonesA Case Study on the Skeletal System
WH Cliff and AW Wright
Your 80 year-old great aunt, Persis, was placing a canning jar on the top shelf of her pantry
when she stepped awkwardly off the stool and twisted her leg at the hip. She felt a sharp pain in
her hip and, after collapsing to the floor, found she could no longer stand. She was taken to the
emergency room where an X ray showed that the neck of her femur was fractured. More
detailed X ray images revealed reduced bone mass in the head and neck regions of the injured
femur, in the ends of other long bones of the body and in the vertebrae. Surgery was necessary
to repair the fractured femur and a biopsy of the bone tissue indicated that the composition of the
osteoid was normal. Healing of the fractured femur is proceeding slowly.
1. What organ(s) is(are) involved?
2. What primary tissue type is involved?
3. What specific type of tissue is affected?
Trabeculae tissue
4. What specific types of cells produce the normal microanatomy of the tissue?
5a. What is the significance of your great aunt's age and gender?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The condition is the disorder due to osteoporosis.

1. The skeletal system is the organs that is involved.

2. bone tissue or spongy tissue is the primary tissue.

3. cancellous tissue or Trabeculae tissue the specific tissue that is involved in this case. the trabeculae tissues are thin and are disconnected from each other that makes it thin and porous

4. osteocytes and osteoclasts

5. the age of grand aunt as progresses there is increase in resorptive activity  and menopauseleads to low estrogen levels auses low bone density
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

Biology - Understanding the impact of age and gender on bone health.

Explanation:

1. The organ involved in this case is the skeletal system, specifically the bones.

2. The primary tissue type involved is connective tissue.

3. The specific type of tissue affected is the trabecular bone tissue.

4. The specific types of cells that produce the normal microanatomy of trabecular bone tissue are osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts.

5. The significance of your great aunt's age and gender is that as she ages, the density and strength of her bones decrease, making them more prone to fractures.

How do nicotine and tobacco cause cancer? Check all that applyby weakening the body’s immune system
by decreasing blood-sugar levels
by damaging or changing a cell's DNA
by increasing heart rate
by increasing phlegm and mucous production

Answers

Answer:

  • by weakening the body’s immune system
  • by damaging or changing a cell's DNA

Explanation:

Tobacco contains about 60 carcinogens. The vast majority belong to three groups: 1) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 2) aromatic amines and 3) nitrosamines, the latter related to nicotine. Both tobacco and nicotine weaken the immune system of the individual, leaving him susceptible to various diseases. In addition, both tobacco and nicotine can damage or alter a cell's DNA, which can lead to cancer.

Nicotine is not a substance that directly causes cancer. However, nicotine participates in carcinogenesis by acting as an intermediary of macromolecules by its nitrosation [(bonds between nitrous groups and organic molecules), producing as a result nitrosamines (carcinogenic chemical compounds produced from nitrite and amines)] of tobacco.
I would say..

A.) By weakening the body`s immune system.
                 And
D.) By increasing phlegm and mucous production.
