Topic 1: The Skeletal System: When Problems Arise

The skeletal system is composed of 206 named bones in the body. The bones form the framework of the body, but also have many other important functions such as mineral storage, protection of vital organs and blood cell production. As this system is so complex, much can go wrong and have an impact on the overall functioning of the body.

This week, you will research a disorder or disease of the skeletal system this can be related to the overall system, the axial skeleton, or the appendicular skeleton (list the name of the disorder in the subject line of your main post). Please do not discuss any joint-related issues no credit will be given for off-topic responses. Since osteogenesis imperfecta was already discussed in Unit 4, please do not choose this topic for this Discussion Board.
