  • Curiosity Guide #306 Skeletal System
    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.

  • Skeletal System Fact Sheet
    Skeletal system fact sheet • At birth the human skeleton is made up of around 300 bones. By adulthood, some bones have fused together to end up with 206 bones. • Human bones grow continually from birth till our mid 20's. Our skeleton's bone mass is at its maximum density around the age of 30. • If broken our bones will re-grow and repair themselves. Often doctors will place a cast on splint to make sure these bones repair straight and true. • The axial skeleton part of the human skeleton has 80 bones. It includes the vertebral column, the rib cage and the skull and helps us maintain our upright posture, by spreading the weight in the head, and upper areas down to the lower areas near the hips. • The appendicular skeletal section of our skeleton has 126 bones. It includes the pectoral (shoulder) girdles, the pelvic girdle and the bones of the lower and upper limbs. Its function is for movement of the body and to protect some organs. • The human skeletal system has six major functions including the production of blood cells, for support, for movement, for protection, for storage of ions and endocrine regulation. • The longest bone in the human body is the thigh bone called the femur. • The smallest bone found in the human body is located in the middle ear. The staples (or stirrup) bone is only 2.8 millimetres (0.11 inches) long. • Like our skin, the human body's bones are also constantly worn down and re-made, to the point where every 7 years we essentially have a new bone.

  • 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.
