Osteomalacia to Osteopenia to Osteomyelitis to Arthrosclerosis to Arteriosclerosis to so many more!!

Spondylolisthesis -  defined by a slipped vertebra spondylos "a vertebra," and in plural "the backbone," From the gk: “olisthánein" = to slip Spondylosis - involves the separation of the pars interarticularis “Osis” - breakdown of ATHERO + SCLER + OSIS Athero = groats Scler = hardening Osis = diseased condition of atherosclerosis is a medical disorder that damages the lumen of the arteries by plaque deposits. Atherosclerosis is mostly a failure of controlled cholesterol and fat levels in the body. ARTHR- (“joint”) and going through SCLER- (“hard”) ARTHR- (“joint”) and going through POD- (“feet”) Arthropods are invertebrate animals having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages ARTERIO + SCLER + OSIS Arterio = windpipe Scler = hardening Osis = diseased condition of/ breakdown of Arteriosclerosis is a disease that blocks the wall of arteries due to aging. Osteo = bone Arthro = joint Itis = inflammation Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, in which the tissues in the joint break down over time Osteopenia is decreased bone mass osteo=bone penia=poverty Osteoporosis osteo=bone poro=porous/pores Osis = breakdown Osteomalacia Bone Malakos = soft (mal=bad) Osteo + myl +itis = An infection of the bone Bone + muscle/marrow + inflammation Osteomalacia is more common in women and often happens during pregnancy. It's not the same as osteoporosis. Both can cause bones to break.
