SKELETAL SYSTEM

The skeletal system are composed of bones, cartilages, ligament and other tissues that perform
essential functions for the body. It gives structure and support that protects human body. They
are not just the support of the body but they also serve several other vital functions, including
blood cell production and storing fats and minerals. Adults have 206 bones and babies bones are
around 300, they said that that is why the babies bones are too many because they are not more
complex so that it will be easy for the mother to give birth.
I am not familiar with the words Osteogenic, Osteoblasts, Osteocytes and Osteoclasts so I am
thankful that they opened my mind to be familiar with that but I do not clearly understand what
does that words mean when they explained it. But they explained well and clear about the
difference of normal and abnormal cells. Tumor is maybe benign or malignant, benign or not
cancerous and malignant cells are cancerous. Tumor can grow in the different parts of our
skeletal system. Leukemia begin in the bone marrow, it is a cancer of blood, if a person have a
stage 3 leukemia it is impossible for them to live longer unless you have a lot of money. Those
said bone diseases will let us suffer seriously for a very long time.
During their presentation I noticed that they don’t flashed about the statistics of the diseases they
include, they just said that this most happens when you are young or old but not the ratio of
every country, I am just looking for it. They also do not discussed clearly what are the signs and
symptoms and how can it be diagnosed the said diseases. In addition, prevention of the disease
are also not discussed clearly. But their presenter and who did the voice over which Mr. Ting and
Ms. Mazo delivered what are their topics included in their power point and videos nicely. They
should just include and explain well the Lab test procedures, Sign and Symptoms, and
prevention.
I am amazed when they include in their video the folded man in china, I didn’t expect him there.
His story is heartbreaking he do not experience how to do the things normal people can. That is
why when we are still young and alive we should engage ourselves to some exercises and eat
foods that will help our bone to be stronger. We are lucky that our God made us like a normal
person, a person with a complete sets of bones.
