__Dwarfism__
People often talk about traits "running in the family" "meaning if your parents or grandparents have it, you're highly susceptible to it like hair and obvious features. dwarfism runs in families as well but not quite the same way. scientists have figured out nearly 200 different ways its passed down from generations. dwarfism can go through two very broad categories; dominant and recessive. if your parents are diagnosed with dwarfism, and your are as well, your children will not get it because it is not in your DNA. for recessive dwarfism to pass along, you would need both parents to have it, you wouldn't get it, but your children would.

Dwarfism is a condition of sort stature, in the U.S. dwarfism is described as an adult with the height of 4'10" and under. this genetic disorder is classified under two separate categories; disproportionate dwarfism (categorized by an average size torso and shortened arms and legs), in proportionate dwarfism; body parts are in proportion, but shortened.



The most common form of dwarfism is found in about one in every 26,000 to 40,000 babies is anchodroplasia and is evident at birth. some features are; a large head with a prominent forehead, protruding jaw, crowded and misaligned teeth, flat short broad feet and bowed legs.

Some individuals with dwarfism attempt to have surgery, surgery will not fix their genetic mutation, although it wont improve stature it can help to improve complications of the condition.

Dwarfism is a genetic disorder, not a condition, just like many genetic disorders everyday things that come easily to many of usmight be a struggle to those who are affected.

Bones are fed by a network of blood vessels by the circulatory system and nerves (from the nervous system).
==the bones also have four different layers to them; the outer layer is called the periosteum (where the nerves and vessels are located), the next layer is made up of whats called compact bone which is very smooth, the third layer is the cancellous which is not as tough as the second layer and the inner most layer is where the bone marrow is ( the bone marrow is where cells are made).==

==You can get many diseases in the bones from a fracture to a threatening disease. a disease you could get is osteoporosis which makes your bones thin out and very nimble. there are thousands of people every year who suffer damage to their bones in one way or another, accidents or high impact can directly damage your bones by either breaking, fracturing or splitting them which is a very painful experience.==
