Disorder Of Skeleton System

Effect of Calcium Deficiency on Bones:

Calcium deficiency can lead to weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures.
Insufficient calcium intake may compromise bone density and mineralization.
Bones serve as a reservoir for calcium; deficiency may prompt the body to draw calcium from bones.
Prolonged deficiency can contribute to conditions like osteoporosis, characterized by brittle and porous bones.

Ricket:

Rickets is a disorder characterized by soft and weakened bones, primarily caused by vitamin D deficiency. Inadequate vitamin D impairs calcium absorption, leading to skeletal deformities and bone abnormalities in children.

Arthritis:

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints.

Symptoms:

Pain
Swelling
Stiffness
Redness
Decreased range of motion

Common types of arthritis:

• Osteoarthritis:

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, causing pain and stiffness.

• Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation and joint deformity.

• Psoriatic Arthritis:

Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis, causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Causes of Arthritis:

Inflammation
Genetics
Age
Injury
Infection

Role of obesity in arthritis:

Obesity puts extra stress on joints, increasing the risk of arthritis.
Adipose tissue produces inflammatory chemicals that can worsen arthritis.
Obesity is a major factor in the development of osteoarthritis.
Losing weight can alleviate symptoms and slow the progression of arthritis in obese individuals.
