THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin K helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones. Prothrombin is a vitamin K-dependent protein directly involved with blood clotting. Osteocalcin is another protein that requires vitamin K to produce healthy bone tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 3 forms of vitamin K: Vitamin K1 or phylloquinone, the natural version of K1 and phytonadione, the synthetic type of K1. Vitamin K2 or menaquinone. Vitamin K3 or menaphthone or menadione.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin K2 appears to protect the bones more than Vitamin K1, but too little of either is bad for the bones. Studies have shown that poor Vitamin K intake is linked to low bone mass, osteoporosis and fracture risk. Women who consumed less than 109 mcg of Vitamin K per day were found to be more likely to break a hip.
