Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. A medical condition that is characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply is called, what is it? Answer choice. A fibrous dysplasia. Answer choice B scoliosis, answer choice C are three or answer choice. D osteonecrosis. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the correct term for the medical condition involving the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what each of the following medical conditions are characterized by to determine which medical condition involves the death of bone tissue due to that lack of blood supply. And since we are talking about bone tissue, we can recall that a common prefix when dealing with bones is the prefix osteo such as osteoclasts, which are these specialized cells involved in bone resorption or osteoblasts, which are the specialized cells responsible for bone formation. And since we are talking about the death of the bone tissue due to that lack of blood supply, we can recall that a common term known as necrosis involves the death of cells or tissues due to either disease or a lack of blood supply. Since we are talking about the death of bone tissue due to the lack of blood supply. We are talking about osteo and necrosis which we can see in answer choice. D we have osteo which is that bone tissue and necrosis, which refers to the death of that tissue due to the lack of blood supply. So, answer choice D osteonecrosis is the correct medical condition. So it is the correct answer. And we can identify answer choice. A B and C are all incorrect conditions. Since answer choice A which says fibrous dysplasia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal growth of fibro tissue. Answer choice B scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. And lastly answer choice C arthritis is a medical condition that is characterized by inflammation in the joints. So answer choice D is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
