Problem 1: Describe the impact exercise has on bone density. In your post, describe the physiological aspects of bone remodeling, and make sure to explain how exercise impacts this process?
Problem 2: Dr. Mike provides a great short, 7-minute video, on the anatomy of a long bone. This video perfectly coincides with our lecture on bone structure this week. Please discuss something you learned from the video.

Problem 3: This is a very compelling TED talk given by Dr. Nikhil Verma on Youth Sport injuries. In this video, Dr. Verma discusses why it can be more dangerous for children to engage in highly repetitive sports compared to adults. Specifically, he discusses the dangers of repetitive mechanical loading on joint structures of athletes who have not reached skeletal maturity. The focus on joints makes it a great video for this week's discussion. Dr. Verma is a team physician for both the Chicago Bulls basketball team and White Socks baseball team. He is also the Director of Sports Medicine Midwest Orthopedics, at Rush.
