Chapter 6, Problem 28RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The disease rickets is caused by the deficiency of calcium and vitamin D in the body. The child legs become bowed and bent. The process of the ossification of the bone causes the absorption of the calcium and vitamin D in the body. This causes the bones to become stronger and thick in appearance. The bones develop rigidity, flexibility, and strength.
