Term
a metabolic skeletal disorder in which reduced bone mass and increased bone fragility lead to an increased risk of fractures, disability and death
Definition
ostoporisis
Term
In osteoporosis, bone is lost more quickly through the _ than it can be produced resulting in reduced _
Definition
remodeling process, bone mineral density
Term
cells that break down bone
Definition

Definition
osteoblasts
Term

Term
There are two types of osteoporosis:
Definition
primary and secondary
Term
Primary osteoporisis may either be:

Type 1 or Type 2
Term
Type 1 osteoporosis is associated with
Definition
menopause
Term
Type 2 osteoporosis is associated with decreasing bone formation that accompanies the:
Definition
aging process
Term
has been linked to estrogen deficiency resulting in increased calcium reabsorption from bone as the lack of estrogen renders the body more sensitive to PTH
Definition
Type 1 osteoporosis
Term
typically results as the kidnesy lose their ability to rpocess vitamin D, causing decreased calcium absorption, which in turn increases sensitivity to PTH and bone reabsorption
Definition
Type 2 osteoporosis
Term
occurs as the result of a disease process or a deficiency or as an effectct of a drug that affects calcium, vitamin D, or sex hormones
