Figure 29-1 The skeletal system and its
functions.
4
Calcium
  • Most abundant mineral in body
  • Proper balance and interaction with other
    minerals and hormones is essential to optimal
    function of several body system.
  • Typical body has 12 kg of calcium, 99 of which
    is in bones.

5
Osteoporosis
  • Bones become thinner and weaker during aging
    osteopenia
  • Osteoporosis bone mass is reduced enough to
    cause abnormal functioning
  • Increased incidence of fracture
  • Occurs more often in women than men, often in
    postmenopausal women because of reduced estrogen
    levels

8

    disease some for hypercalcemia of malignancy
    some for postmenopausal osteoarthritis

9

  • Bisphosphonates commonly cause various GI upsets,
    including
