How does osteomalation differ from Rikets?

Osteomalacia is a condition in adults where bones become weak due to a lack of vitamin D, while rickets is a similar condition in children that causes soft and weak bones. Both conditions are primarily caused by vitamin D deficiency, but rickets specifically affects growing bones in children, resulting in skeletal deformities.


Weaken bones can result from an excess secretion by?

Weak bones can result from an excess secretion of parathyroid hormone, which can lead to calcium being pulled from the bones, making them weaker and more prone to fractures. Additionally, a deficiency in vitamin D can also contribute to weakened bones as it is essential for proper calcium absorption and bone mineralization.


What can happen if calcium is not replaced in bone tissue?

Your bones can become brittle and there is a greater risk of bone fractures.Osteoporosis (gaps, lower bone density, or weak points in solid bones) occurs primarily where calcium is not being added to the bones. Lack of calcium or vitamin D, and lowered estrogen in women, can cause osteoporosis.


What is the calcium and why is important?

Calcium is a mineral that is essential for strong bones and teeth, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. It also plays a role in maintaining a healthy heart and helping with hormone release. A lack of calcium can lead to weak bones and teeth, muscle cramps, and other health issues.
