Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The types of bone diseases that can occur due to an effective barrier to U.V radiation.
Introduction:
Calcitriol (vitamin D) is necessary for calcium absorption by the small intestine and it is produced by a person's own body, but it is induced by U.V radiation. In the absence of U.V radiation, the individual develops vitamin D disorder which causes bones softening.

Identify two bone diseases you would expect to see if the epidermis were a completely effective barrier to UV radiation and a person took no dietary supplements to compensate for this. Explain your answer.
A bone such as your humerus or your femur is a metabolically active and live organ. Explain how proper exercise and adequate nutrition can strengthen the growth of a bone?
name one body area where a strong needle can be inserted to extract biopsy samples of red bone marrow. why?
During the Industrial Revolution, as children spent littletime outdoors and most of their time working in factories,increasing numbers of them developed a bone disorder calledrickets. Rickets is caused by inadequate intake and absorptionof vitamin D. Based upon your knowledge of skin function,why do you think these children developed rickets?
