Osteoporosis can affect these bones
that we can find
in the pelvis of the human body.
This bone over here is the femur,
the longest bone of the human body,
and it is a truly strong bone.
The compact
bone in the femur,
as well as the spongy bone of the femur,
have an incredibly strong structure
that can bear weight
that is transferred
from the upper part of the body
to the sacrum bone over here
and the hip bone over here.
Osteoporosis causes
destruction of the spongy bone
and the compact bone, and thus
it can lead to fractures
of the human bones
that can ultimately lead to death.
Can you recall
which bone I just
illustrated the fracture?
