Chapter 43, Problem 1ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of a certain drug for an increase in the vertebral area among children having osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) causing bone growth in those children during a 12-month study.
Introduction:
As the name suggests, osteogenesis is a disorder of the bones in the human body due to gene mutation. Collagen is a protein that helps in making the bones strong, which are somehow affected by the defective genes, causing osteogenesis. The disease may be mild to severe in intensity, which means fewer to many bone-fractures per year.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the activation of certain signal transduction pathways
causes calcium to be removed from bones, leaving them brittle and more likely to break
under moderate pressure.
Current research suggests that osteoporosis can be initiated under conditions of low cal-
cium intake in order to increase the availability of calcium for other biological roles in the
body.
Which of the following describes the conditions that would be most likely to initiate
osteoporosis?
A
B
с
D
insufficient amounts of calcium to allow the replication of DNA molecules during cell
division
insufficient amounts of calcium to maintain the membrane potential established by the
sodium-potassium pump
insufficient amounts of calcium ions to facilitate efficient transduction of neuronal
signals
insufficient amounts of calcium to be used in the fixation stage of the Krebs cycle in
photosynthesis

View Available Hint(s)for Part C
Select all of the sentences below that correctly describe the role of minerals in healthy bone tissue and osteoporosis risk.
Select all that apply.
A)Sufficient intakes of magnesium and potassium are associated with increased bone health.
B)Regular consumption of calcium during childhood and adolescence is related to lower bone mineral density in older adults.
C)The most effective way to prevent loss of bone mass and elasticity is to maintain a high bone mineral density.
D)Dramatic weight loss results in less stress placed on the bones, thereby improving bone mineral density.
E)Weight-bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of falls and fractures.
