Rickets Disease
Payton Moore Hormones in the body play an important role in bone growth and development. Many hormones play a role in this but a particularly important one is vitamin D. Vitamin D plays a role in skeletal health because it regulates normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus (Chanchlani 2020). …

How Ciliopathies Impact Skeletal Development
The topic of my project is how skeletal growth is hormonally regulated. A large part of what allows hormones to be regulated properly is primary cilia. Primary cilia are a type of cilia, organelles which project from the apical surface of cells and are largely responsible for transmitting signals. They …
Bone Density In Astronauts
Annalee Coryell Astronauts have a very unique experience when they are in space, their bodies experience something very unique as well. The lack of gravitational force in space takes a toll on the bodies of astronauts. Because of the usual lack of gravitational force on our bodies that we …

One of those functions is attention, which can be divided into three categories: sustained, divided, and focused (1). Sustained attention is the ability to …
The Progressive Stages of Osteoporosis
Bones provide structure, protection, and mobility for the body. However, as we age, the balance between bone formation and breakdown shifts, leading to conditions like osteoporosis (the silent disease). This condition weakens bones over time, increasing the risk of fractures. My poster board, illustrates how osteoporosis progresses through four stages, …
