    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…

    How To Read Literature Like A Professor Summary

    In Thomas C. Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Chapter 12 is dedicated to symbols, and how they are not concrete. Symbolism is all about interpretation, which makes them difficult to understand. Foster says the most difficult thing about symbolism is that everyone wants to have one concrete answer. He argues that symbolism has multiple gray areas, and a majority of people confuses symbolism with allegories. Allegories are things that stand for one certain thing.…

    Summary Of How To Read Literature

    The fourth chapter of How to Read Literature is “Interpretation,” which happened to be the longest chapter of this book. Eagleton gave the reader a very well-known example of the poem, "Baa, baa, black sheep.” He presented his argument, in this case, his literary theory in a quite interesting way. Eagleton pointed out that you can’t write with any interpretation. His argument for the chapter was that the work you write much be true, depending on the context. It is understood that interpretations will happen now and then, but you must not allow the narrative to be so ignorant and biased to one meaning. Like the rest of the chapters in the book, Eagleton used a book to give an example. The chapter allowed the reader to realize that works being…

    Contentious Bones

    5b. Bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old sex-matched healthy person average.) The term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. Osteoporosis is most common in women after the menopause, when it is called postmenopausal osteoporosis, but may develop in men and premenopausal women in the presence of particular hormonal disorders and other chronic diseases or as a result of smoking and medications, specifically glucocorticoids, when the disease is called steroid- or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP or GIOP).…

    Sci 241 Week 2

    Osteoporosis has been associated with breakage in the hip, wrist, pelvis and other parts of the bones. Osteoporosis is more common in women than men and everyone has bone loss as they get older; however, consuming enough or adequate amounts of calcium early on in age can delay the effects of the bone loss. When there is not enough calcium absorbed in the body, the body begins to take away from the stored calcium in the bones in order to help maintain normal functions in the body, thus, causing the breakage in areas of the body. Supplements that contain calcium and vitamin D can help with the health problem and help or prevent many people from serious breakages when they fall. The FDA released a claim in 2003 stating that, "Adequate calcium throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis" and "Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life" (Office of Dietary Supplements, National Institutes of Health, n.d.). In order for a person to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, they must first consume the recommended daily dosage of calcium which starts out at 200 mg for a baby until they are six months old, than from six months to 12 months it becomes 260 mg. Once they become a year old it is recommended to consume 700 mg until the age of three, than from the age of four-eight it jumps up to 1,000 mg. Once they hit the age of nine it is recommended to consume 1,300 mg until a person reaches the age of 19, than it goes back down to 1,000 mg and that is adequate until the age of 51 for males and 70 for females. It has become a very stated fact that calcium plays an important role in the health and well-being of our bones. I have not read any risk thus-far on taking calcium to help treat and delay the side effects caused by…

    How To Read Literature Like A Professor

    Thomas C. Foster indicates in “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” that usually when a blind person shows up in a piece of literature, he can see into the spirit and divine world, and can see things that the hero of the story is unable to see. While I don’t believe love is spiritual, I do believe that it takes a special eye to see it. In “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, Augustus’ best friend Isaac is losing his eyesight to cancer, and essentially going blind. Even though Isaac is losing his eyesight, he is still able to see and understand the complex relationship that Hazel and Augustus share with one another, and he can clearly see the enormous amounts of love that they have for each other just by being with them. I feel that Isaac…

    The Aging Musculoskeletal System

    Osteoporosis is a bone disease that can get worse with time. Your bones become fragile due to losing bone mineral density and bone mass. People do not realize this disease is occurring because they cannot feel their bones becoming weaker ("What is osteoporosis," 2011). Osteoporosis is most likely caused by three imbalances in the human body. Cause number one is a low magnesium/high calcium ratio. Cause number two is your female/male hormone is low. Cause number three is a low thyroid function ("The causes of osteoporosis,").…
