Disorders of the Axial Skeleton

The axial skeleton is composed of 80 bones. It is made up of the cranial bones as well as the bones of the thoracic cavity and the vertebral cavity. There are many disorders that affect the axial skeletal system including abnormal curvatures of the vertebral column, spina bifida, cranial malformations, etc.

This week you will research the bones that comprise the axial skeleton and conduct additional research on one disorder that affects this system. Please do not consider osteoporosis or Paget’s disease as those will be addressed in Seminar. Once your research is complete, answer the following:

  • What disorder did you choose to write about?
  • Which part of the axial skeleton does this disorder affect?
  • What are the symptoms of this disorder?
  • What are the long term effects of this disorder?
  • Describe some of the current treatments available for this disorder. Which treatment would you choose and why?
  • Is there any research for new potential treatment options? Explain.

Discussion Requirements and Guidelines:

Discussion responses should be on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the discussion by making frequent informed references to lesson materials. Initial discussion responses should be around 200–300 words. Responses to your classmates or instructor do not need to be that long, but should be substantial (approximately 50 words), go beyond mere affirmation, and serve to further conversation.

To be considered for full credit, at least two or more responses to classmates that are thoughtful and advance the discussion should be made.

When you are ready to post to the Discussion Board, respond to the questions. Your responses should follow the conventions of Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.). Your writing should be well ordered, logical, and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics. All references used should be cited and in APA style.

You don’t have to do an outline. Just 300 words and APA format

BIO1100 Troy University a Fast Food Fun Discussion

/in /by

We all know fast food is not terribly good for us, but we all (at least, most of us) have to resort to it every once in a while. Some of us rely on it for a quick meal during a busy week, others may eat it more than once a day.

Some places seem to be healthier than others, some places aren’t known for being healthy overall, but may offer some “healthier” options.

For this discussion, I want you to pick your two “favorite” fast food meals. Yes, yes, I know some of us don’t eat it much, and maybe a blessed few of us manage to live such a lovely existence that we *never* eat it…but we’ve all eaten it at one time or another. I want you to pick two fast food meals and tell us what they are. Then go to the nutrition information for that restaurant and find this information:

Meal/Items (with sizes):

For each item:

Calories:

Fat:

Saturated Fat:

Trans Fat:

Sugar:

Sodium:

Then total these up for the full meal.

There are actually a couple of ways you can do this…really choose your two “favorite” meals, and see how they measure up. You can also choose your “favorite” meal, and then one that you don’t “love” but get it when you want to eat something a little healthier. This is really an interesting and enlightening exercise for most folks. I am still sometimes surprised when I compare items (The Fresco soft taco is really only marginally healthier than the regular soft taco).

The RDA* (recommended daily allowance) for these materials is:

Calories: 2000

Fat: 45 – 77 g (mostly unsaturated)

Sodium: no more than 2300 mg

Sugars: Men 37.5 g, Women 25 g

*Of course the RDA is going to fluctuate slightly for each person based on many factors. These numbers are averages based on a healthy adult on a 2000 calorie diet.

Think about these questions…Are you surprised about your meal? Was it far less healthy than you thought? Healthier? Did you knock out any of those RDA values for an entire day with just this meal? Perhaps you’ll want to think about how you could shift habits. Which changes would really make an impact? What do you save when you skip the fries? Just how healthy IS that salad? What if I went a day without drinking any sugary sodas or sweet tea? How many calories would I save? Does this make you want to make some changes?

In order to get full credit you must:

  • Provide all required nutrition information (DO NOT copy and paste the entire chart posted by the restaurant. That is cumbersome, takes up too much space, and gives FAR more information than we need to discuss).
  • Give the links to the information sites that you used to get the nutrition information (this information is available on the restaurants’ own sites, as well as many other nutritional information sites…you may want to check a couple of these to see if they agree…).
  • Actually participate in the discussion. If you just post “I am a fully vegan fruititarian and therefore never eat fast food” well, congratulations. You still have to come up with something! send me an email and we can come up with a compromise on some food you can comment on.

This assignment is due Sunday night, 11:59 PM.
