Peak Bone Mass
The skeleton is a dynamic structure, as deposition of tissue and withdrawal of it are happening constantly and simultaneously. However, these two functions are not always at a balance. During childhood and young adulthood, the deposition of bone is happening at higher rate than the withdrawal. This means that bone mass would rise until it reaches a maximum around 30 years of age, and then it beings to decline. This maximum of strength and bone density is known as Peak Bone Mass. Since previous research has proven that a high peak bone mass reduces osteoporosis, it is essential to study the nutritional practices of young adults within our community.

    Qnt 561 Week 4 Study Guide

    ANSWER: Bone brittleness results from a decrease in the rate of protein synthesis and in the production of human growth hormone, which diminishes the production of the collagen fibers that give bone its strength and flexibility. As a result, inorganic minerals gradually constitute a greater proportion of the bone extracellular matrix. Loss of bone mass results from demineralization and usually begins after age 30 in females, accelerates greatly around age 45 as levels of estrogens decrease, and continues until as much as 30% of the calcium in bones is lost by age 70…

    Module 4 Report

    Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, but needs other nutrients in order for it to be absorbed better and use properly. To metabolize calcium the hormones that help in that process are the parathyroid hormone and the modified steroid calcitriol a form of vitamin D, which promote better absorption of the calcium ion into the body’s circulation system and the counter balance protein hormone calcitonin promotes a decrease in circulating calcium. Calcium homeostasis is achieved by three central tissues, the kidney, intestines and bones. The hormonal target for calcium balance in bones is the osteoclast which can mobilize calcium to the body and phalanges by secreting proteolytic enzymes and acid onto the bone matrix in response to stimulation of the parathyroid hormone and…

    Bone

    I enjoy reading Fae Myenne Ng 's Bone. I find her novel easy to read and understand. Although she included some phrases the Chinese use, I find no difficulty in understanding them, as I 'm Chinese myself. The novel Bone is written in a circular narrative form, in which the story doesn 't follow the linear format where the suspense slowly builds up and finally reaches a climax stage. Rather the story 's time sequence is thrown back and forth. I find this format of writing brings greater suspense and mystery to the reader. When I read the book, my mind was always wondering what reasons or causes made Ona commit suicide, and this made me want to continue reading the book to know the outcome. The happenings in the story do portray reality of the lives of Chinese immigrants in America, their hardship and difficulty in adapting American lifestyle and culture. For the younger generations, adapting the American culture and lifestyle is much easier than for the older generations. This is shown in the book and it also happens in reality, which is another reason why I like this book. This is a fiction novel, but the story told is like a non-fiction book; giving readers a sense of realism. As a Chinese reading Bone, I understand the narrator 's feelings and predicaments. Although she is an Asian, her thinking lies more on the American side. Leila wants to move out to stay with Mason but yet she fears leaving her mother alone and also of what her mother might say in regards to a girl staying with a man before marriage. In Asian culture, cohabitation is not popular and widely accepted. In the book 's narrative hierarchy, I find the narrator placed herself at the top, always wanting or hoping that things were done her way or that she should know everything of what 's going on. Mason is placed second, while her mother is placed third. I don 't blame her for placing Mason above her mother. It is quite natural because once you 've found a mate to be with for life,…
