Support

31
Q

Some bones _______ soft body organs

A

Protection

Movement

33
Q

Fat _______ in yellow marrow, calcium and phosphorus in bone tissue

38
Q

Breaking down and reforming of bone that occurs throughout life to maintain proportion and strength as well as healthy calcium levels

A

Bone remodeling

39
Q

Weakening of the bone that occurs with aging

A

Osteoporosis

40
Q

A disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue

A

Osteoporosis

41
Q

Most common form of arthritis and is caused by mechanical wear & tear on the joint associated with getting older

A

Osteoarthritis

42
Q

Develops when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the joints and other structures of the body. It affects far fewer people but may occur at any age

A

Rheumatoid arthritis

43
