35 questions

Osteoporosis

Objective:  Students will analyze the factors that lead to, symptoms, and consequences of osteoporosis

1

Warm-Up: Compare and contrast osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

1

Record your brainstorming here!

Part 1: Case Study Research
With your small group, work through the case study that you were assigned.  Decide amongst yourselves who will fill the following roles:

Reader - Reads the text out loud
Timekeeper - Ensures group returns to the Google Meet on time
Manager - Ensures that everyone's voice is heard and that all are working on the same question
Spokesperson - Shares out in the large group, if needed

You do NOT need to complete all of the scenarios!  You will be in one group while working on the questions, then will share your findings in your usual group later on.  You only need to answer the questions for your case study!!

Directions:
Read the prompt, then decide as a group how to divvy up the research.  Answer the questions that go along with your case study:

Groups A and B:  Scenario A (Marissa), questions 3-9
Groups C and D:  Scenario B (Jeremy), questions 10-18
Groups E and F:  Scenario C (Eleanor), questions 19-25

1

Part 2: Summarize
Complete questions 26 - 27 on your own

1

First: Brainstorm. DRAW a summary of the case study in the space below.

1

Next: Process. Write our a four sentence summary of your case study. Include the following in your summary:
Age of patient
Suspected cause of osteoporosis in the patient
Lifestyle changes that could be made by patient
Other therapies or treatments that could slow osteoporosis in patient

1

Finally, do some searching for an image that best sums up your case study. Think about what terms would be best to include in your search.

Take a screenshot or save your image, then post it in the space below:

Part 3: Case Study Share Out and Analysis
Next, you will share with your "normal" group your findings from the case study.

Take turns reading your summaries to your group members.  Share your pictures with your groups.

Start with Marissa, then Jeremy, then Eleanor.

1

Write a short summary of both the patients your group members taught you about.

1

Examine the picture below, focusing on the roles of calcitonin, PTH, and Vitamin D

Use the diagram to answer questions 31-32

1

What questions do you still have about osteoporosis?

Examine the picture below, focusing on the roles of calcitonin, PTH, and Vitamin D

Use the diagram to answer questions 31-32

Which of the following best describes the relationship between calcium, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone (aka Parathormone or PTH)?

Calcitonin causes the removal of calcium from blood stream and and into bone tissue

Calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland and decreases calcium levels in the blood.

Calcitonin causes the removal of calcium from bone tissue and into the bloodstream

PTH is released by the parathyroid gland and increases calcium levels in the blood.

PTH is released by the parathyroid gland and decreases calcium levels in the blood.

Calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland and increases calcium levels in the blood.

What is the relationship between calcium, Vitamin D, and bone growth?

Calcium increases Vitamin D absoprtion from the intestines, thus increasing the amount of calcium D present in the bloodstream. This decreases bone growth

Vitamin D decreases calcium absoprtion from the intestines, thus increasing the amount of calcium present in the bloodstream. This allows for more bone growth

Calcium increases Vitamin D absoprtion from the intestines, thus increasing the amount of Vitamin D present in the bloodstream. This decreases bone growth

Vitamin D increases calcium absoprtion from the intestines, thus increasing the amount of calcium present in the bloodstream. This allows for more bone growth

Which of the following best describes the relationship between menopause, estrogen, and bone growth?

Menopause increases estrogen levels, thus increasing osteoclast activity.  This decreases bone growth

Menopause decreases estrogen levels, thus increasing osteoclast activity.  This decreases bone growth

Menopause decreases estrogen levels, thus increasing osteoblast activity.  This decreases bone growth

Menopause increases estrogen levels, thus increasing osteoblast activity.  This decreases bone growth

False

Only women can be diagnosed with osteoporosis
