Osteoporosis - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim
Consider how the bones are structured, the role they play in the body, the causes and impact of osteogenesis and osteoporosis, and the ways in which science is working to help with bone regeneration. According to the article, stem cells and other lab-made materials are now used in the lab to create bone cells.
HydroxyColl, a synthetic-bone-graft substitute, can attract stem cells to grow new bone cells. In the videos, you learned that one of the common diseases that affect the skeletal system is osteoporosis.
Using the information from both videos and the article, the initial post is using the following prompt. Your initial post needs to address each discussion point.
1. Describe the normal process of osteogenesis for compact and spongy bone using the three different types of bone cells and their functions. Then, explain how injecting HydroxyColl into the knee joint will help the process of osteogenesis. Be sure to include details of the regeneration process.
2. Compare how the different osteocytes in both compact and spongy cells are affected in osteoporosis. Don't forget to include how organic materials like calcium and phosphorus are affected by osteoporosis.
