    Here is a Transcript of the Video: (Maybe it's gonna help more) Together with muscles, strong bones enable the body to move freely, bones have a solid outer surface called compact bone, the inner bone called spongy bone, because it is less dense then compact bone, and has many small holes like a sponge. Bones contains cells called Osteoclasts that break down bone tissues, other cells called Osteoblasts make new bone tissue using minerals such as Calcium and Phosphate from blood, hormones such as Estrogen growth hormones and Testosterone help keep the number and activity of Osteoblasts higher then Osteoclasts so that more bone is made then removed. Physical forces and pressure during exercise also help bone to grow stronger and denser These processes allow bone to grow strong in children and young adults, people have their strongest, most dense called peak bone mass in their 30s, after this age Osteoclast gradually remove more bone then the osteoblasts make. Osteoporosis is a condition that lead to weaken bones causing them to break more easily, healthy bone is dense enough to support and protect the body and to handle the stresses of movement and minor injuries, however people with Osteoporosis have abnormally thin bones, with larger holes in the spongy bone There are two types of Osteoporosis: Primary Osteoporosis: is usually related to older age as well as reduce amount of estrogen in women Secondary Osteoporosis: Affect both children and adults, it is related to other issues or conditions, such as: Cancer, hormone problems, or use of certain medication A person has a greater risk for either type of Osteoporosis, if they don’t develop enough bone mass when they are growing from childhood to adulthood. Risk factors that can lead to low peak bone mass include: •    A family history of Osteoporosis •    Being White of Asian •    Being female •    A Poor diet •    Certain medication (such as steroids or certain seizure medication) •    Lack of physical activity (and weight bearing exercise) •    Life style behavior (such as smoking, Drinking Alcohol) A person also has a greater risk for either type of Osteoporosis If they have a abnormal amount of bone loss after age 30 Some bone loss is normal after this age; however, a person with the same risk factures for low peek bone mass can be more likely to get osteoporosis as they age. Increased bone loss, is also common in women after the time of woman last period called Menopause, after Menopause, a woman Ovary stop making the hormone Estrogen, with the dropping hormone, bone removing cells called Osteoclasts are more active than the bone making cells called Osteoblasts, bones may break or fracture easily because they are unable to withstand the physical strain and pressure from even normal activities. Common fracture locations in people with Osteoporosis include the wrist, spine and hips Building strong healthy bones through a diet rich of Calcium and Vitamins and getting regular exercise can help prevent as well as treat Osteoporosis. Common medications for Osteoporosis include: Biphosphonates Denosumab Selective estrogen (receptor modulators (SERMS) ) Calcitonin In general these medications act on Bone removing Cells (Osteoclasts) Parathyroid hormone act on Bone making Cells (Osteoblasts) Foods or supplements containing Calcium and Vitamin D

    So if Idubbz truly was diagnosed with osteoporosis he would have likely broken his back when landing on the wheelchair
  • @Papyrusans
    I love how this video is talking about actual osteoporosis and everyone is just making iDubbbz jokes in the comments
  • Wow, this is just great for me lol I'm Asian, female, adopted so I don't know historic conditions, has Scoliosis, AND doesn't do much all day. Wow.

    I learn a lot about simple medical knowledge thanks to this channel. Thank you so much!
  • @akarfa6722
    This chanel is one of my most favorite. Can't thank enough for making these videos.🙏 I wish these are even longer to watch
  • @Scr34m1ngg
    Cant thank this channel more for the ammount of knowledge it has provided me.
  • It's so nice to have this channel in youtube. I am already learning even before I even start my Medical School.
