Curiosity Guide #306 Skeletal System Accompanies Curious Crew, Season 3, Episode 6 (#306) Calcium-Rich Bones Investigation #6 Description Explore the role of calcium in making strong bones. Materials 6 chicken bones 6 containers Calcium tablets Vinegar Procedure 1: Prepare the bones 1) Boil the bones to remove any meat. 2) Soak the bones in 1 part bleach to ten parts water for five minutes. 3) Let the bones dry. Procedure 2: Investigate 1) Place one chicken bone in each of the 6 glasses. 2) Pour vinegar over each bone. 3) Do not add any calcium to the first container. 4) In the second container, add 300 milligrams of calcium. 5) In the third container, add 600 mg calcium, 1,200 mg in the fourth, 1,800 mg in the fifth, and 2,400 mg in the sixth. 6) Leave the bones for 5 days. 7) Compare the results. 8) Drop a calcium tablet into a cup of vinegar. How does it react? My Results Explanation In addition to calcium, bones also contain phosphorous. However, it is the calcium salts that make bones rigid. Acids such as vinegar can dissolve those calcium salts and leave the bone soft and rubbery. In this experiment, the more calcium that was in the container, the stronger the bones remained. Because the mineral calcium provides rigidity to the bones, it is important to eat calcium rich foods like low fat dairy; green, leafy vegetables like collard greens; beans; and nuts. A person between the ages of 11 and 24 should consume 1,200 milligrams of calcium every day. The elderly must be very cognizant of this as well to avoid osteoporosis.

Vegetarian and Vegan Diets and Risks of Total and Site-Specific Fractures: Results from the Prospective EPIC-Oxford Study Tammy Y
Tong et al. BMC Medicine (2020) 18:353 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-020-01815-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Vegetarian and vegan diets and risks of total and site-specific fractures: results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study Tammy Y. N. Tong1* , Paul N. Appleby1, Miranda E. G. Armstrong2, Georgina K. Fensom1, Anika Knuppel1, Keren Papier1, Aurora Perez-Cornago1, Ruth C. Travis1 and Timothy J. Key1 Abstract Background: There is limited prospective evidence on possible differences in fracture risks between vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegetarians. We aimed to study this in a prospective cohort with a large proportion of non-meat eaters. Methods: In EPIC-Oxford, dietary information was collected at baseline (1993–2001) and at follow-up (≈ 2010). Participants were categorised into four diet groups at both time points (with 29,380 meat eaters, 8037 fish eaters, 15,499 vegetarians, and 1982 vegans at baseline in analyses of total fractures). Outcomes were identified through linkage to hospital records or death certificates until mid-2016. Using multivariable Cox regression, we estimated the risks of total (n = 3941) and site-specific fractures (arm, n = 566; wrist, n = 889; hip, n = 945; leg, n = 366; ankle, n = 520; other main sites, i.e. clavicle, rib, and vertebra, n = 467) by diet group over an average of 17.6 years of follow-up. Results: Compared with meat eaters and after adjustment for socio-economic factors, lifestyle confounders, and body mass index (BMI), the risks of hip fracture were higher in fish eaters (hazard ratio 1.26; 95% CI 1.02–1.54), vegetarians (1.25; 1.04–1.50), and vegans (2.31; 1.66–3.22), equivalent to rate differences of 2.9 (0.6–5.7), 2.9 (0.9–5.2), and 14.9 (7.9–24.5) more cases for every 1000 people over 10 years, respectively.

How I Set up My Own Body Farm by Jennifer Dean
How I Set Up My Own Body Farm By Jennifer Dean To prepare for a new forensic science elective at Camas High School, and determined to make this new course an exciting application of biology and chemistry principles, I began by collecting forensic science resources, ordering books and enrolling in the local community college course on forensic science. I spent every extra hour soaking up as much as I could about this field during the “time off” teachers get in the summer. I was particularly fascinated by the fields of forensic entomology and anthropology. From books such as Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach and Dr. Bill Bass’s work around the creation of a human body farm at the University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropology Center, I decided to create something similar for our new high school forensic science program. As we met for dinner after a day of revitalizing workshops in Seattle at an NSTA conference, I shared my thoughts about the creation of an animal body farm with my talented and dedicated colleagues. These teachers have a passion for their students and their work. I felt free to share these ideas with them and know I’d be supported in making it a reality. As the Science Department, we formally agreed to dedicate ourselves to submitting grants to make it a reality. Back at work, I sent copies of the farm proposal to my immediate supervisors, and they responded with letters of support. The next step was getting the farm started—with or without grant money—because the first class of forensic science would be starting in the fall.

Herpetological Journal FULL PAPER
Volume 25 (October 2015), 245–255 FULL PAPER Herpetological Journal Published by the British Identifying Ranid urostyle, ilial and anomolous bones Herpetological Society from a 15th century London well Charles A. Snell 27 Clock House Road, Beckenham, Kent. BR3 4JS The accurate identification of bones from archaeological excavations is critical for the understanding of past faunas. In the United Kingdom, remains from East Anglian fens suggest that more anuran species existed in Saxon times than is the case today. Here, novel methods have been devised to determine the identity of anuran ilia and urostyle bones. These methods were used on remains from a 15th century archaeological site 200 metres north of St Paul's Cathedral, London, originally assumed to be common frog (Rana temporaria) with one possible water frog (Pelophylax sp.) imported as human food. The results suggest that the majority of the ca. 500 year old urostyle remains can be attributed to (in order of likelihood)P. lessonae, R. arvalis or R. dalmatina. The approaches described here complement existing methods and allow for more robust future identifications from zooarchaeological remains. A method is also suggested for taking the effect of growth on different parts of the same bone into account, thereby making bones of various sizes more comparable. Key words: archaeological remains, bones, Britain, identification, ilia, Pelophylax, range, Rana, urostyle INTRODUCTION 2033]).
