Chapter 6, Problem 3CRCAQ
Carlos went to weight-lifting camp in the summer between seventh and eighth
grade. He noticed that the trainer put tremendous pressure on participants to
improve their strength. After an especially vigorous workout, Carlos's arm felt
extremely sore and weak around the elbow. He went to the camp doctor, who took
X-ray photos and then told him that the injury was serious because the� end, or
epiphysis, of his upper arm bone was starting to twist off." What had happened?
Could the same thing happen to Carlos’s 23-year-old sister, Selena, who was also
starting a weight-lifting program? Why or why not?

At his ninety-fourth birthday party, Jim was complimented on how good he looked and was asked about his health. He answered, “I feel good, except that some of my joints ache and are stiff, especially my knees and hips and lower back, and especially when I wake up in the morning.” A series of X-ray studies and an MRI scan taken a few weeks earlier showed that the articular cartilages of these joints were rough and flaking off and that bone spurs were present at the ends of some of Jim’s bones. What is Jim’s probable condition?
Why is it important to engage in weight-bearing exercisesbefore the epiphyseal plates close?
Brittle bone disease occurs in individuals who are missing a certain type of collagen and is characterized by bones that break easily, among other problems. Explain why not having enough collagen in your bones makes them easier to break.
