| Abstract | Koštani sustav građen je od kostiju, hrskavice, ligamenata i tetiva. Ključne funkcije za koje je zadužen koštani sustav su potpora i pokretanje tijela zajedno s mišićima, zaštita unutarnjih organa, skladištenje minerala te hematopoeza. Bolesti koštanog sustava su česte u populaciji, a njihovi uzročnici su raznoliki (dob, prehrana, genetika, hormoni itd.). U ovom radu obrađene su neke od bolesti koštanog sustava, kao što su koštani tumori i metaboličke bolesti kostiju. Tri su spomenute vrste koštanih tumora, a to su: osteosarkom, osteoblastom i osteoklastom. Uslijed poremećaja ravnoteže određenih minerala u kostima, prvenstveno kalcija, dolazi do razvoja različitih metaboličkih bolesti kostiju od kojih su obrađene sljedeće: osteopenija i osteoporoza, osteomalacija, rahitis i Pagetova bolest kosti. |
| Abstract (english) | Skeletal system is built of bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. The key functions that the skeletal system is responsible for are the support and movement of the body together with the muscles, protection of internal organs, storage of minerals and hematopoiesis. Diseases of the skeletal system are common in the population, with various causes (age, diet, genetics, hormones, etc.). Furthermore, this paper examines some of the diseases of the skeletal system, such as bone tumors and metabolic bone diseases. There are three types of bone tumors mentioned, and those are: osteosarcoma, osteoblastoma and osteoclastoma. Disorders of the balance of certain minerals in the bones, primarily calcium, lead to the development of various metabolic bone diseases, of which the following have been described: osteopenia and osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rickets and Paget's disease of bone. |
