  3. Common Diseases and Disorders of the Skeletal System (cont.) • Kyphosis – humpback • Lordosis –swayback • Osteogenesis imperfecta – brittle-bone disease • Osteoporosis – thin, porous bones

  4. Common Diseases and Disorders of the Skeletal System (cont.) • Osteosarcoma – bone cancer from osteoblasts • Paget’s disease – bones enlarge, become deformed, and weak • Scoliosis – an abnormal S-shaped curvature of the spine
