Osteoporosis exists; they have no knowledge of what this disease is about or how to prevent it. In the article “c-Maf and you won’t see fat” Laurie McCauley defines Osteoporosis as “a metabolic bone disease that results from an imbalance between the process of bone formation and bone resorption‚ leading to reduce bone mass and increased susceptibility to fracture.” And according to Matthew Taylor‚ in his article “Osteoporosis: An Opportunity to Serve” Osteoporosis was “only officially recognized as a disease

1. Compare bone to cartilage tissues relative to its resilience‚ speed of regeneration and access to nutrients. Bone tissue is composed of mainly of calcium phosphate‚ making it very hard and resistance to compression‚ and It regenerates slower in comparison to cartilage. Bone is also a reservoir for minerals and has an interior that forms blood cells. Cartilage contains no blood vessels and relys on the surrounding connective tissue to bring in nutrients. 2. Describe in proper order the

The other three joints are less mobile (low motion joints) but do experience torsional forces that affect the overall health of the hock. Bone spavin usually affects the two most distal lower joints of the hock [distal intertarsal (DIT) and tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints]. What is bone spavin? Bone spavin is a common‚ often painful
