Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason in which a person experiences a dramatic decrease in bone density in a weightless environment along with suggestions to slow the loss of bone tissue.

Introduction

Bone density refers to the amount of bone minerals in bone tissue. To determine the bone density, one can measure the gram of calcium and other bone minerals that how they are packed into the bone segments.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The concentration of calcium ions in the blood and tissue is quite stable because of a continuous interchange between blood calcium and bone calcium. Describe how calcium is mobilized in bone tissue.
Using a cause-and-effect sequence, explain how an inadequate intake of dietary calcium or vitamin D can cause bone resorption. Also, describe the cause-and-effect sequence whereby an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D may promote bone deposition.
a) Describe age-associated changes in human bone and their consequences in terms of physiological function  b) Discuss how keeping physically active may help to maintain physiological function in human bone during the ageing process
