Put the steps into the correct order to trace knee degeneration.
- As the splits in the fiber layers deepen, abrasion of the cartilage continues, eventually exposing the underlying bone.
- Splits develop in collagen fiber layers and the color of the cartilage changes from glistening white to mottled gray or yellow.
- Areas of the splits become softer than normal.
- Bone grows at the margins of the articular surface, forming osteophytes, which may grow into the joint space.
- As the cartilage continues to erode, it is replaced by bone infiltration, and the bone beneath the cartilage becomes more dense and sclerotic.
- Hemorrhage and bone necrosis occur; repair takes the form of scar tissue.

Now that we have studied the various types of vaccines, consider the current resurgence of diseases like the measles. How can we convince the general public and possibly even ourselves, that immunization is a necessary preventative measure for diseases that have serious complications? Is there a different schedule that we should consider? Are some forms of vaccines safer than others? Should we spread out the inoculation schedule to prevent confusion of a young person? (Include terms such as live attenuated, killed or inactive, subunit, toxoid, conjugate, complications of measles, risks to others if uninoculated, risks to individuals that do get inoculated). You are encouraged to use your text and outside sources to develop your informed answer. Use facts and concepts.
