Shin splints is medically known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)‚ refers to pain in the shins - the front lower legs. Shin splints occur during physical activity and result from too much force being placed on your shinbone and connective tissues that attach your muscles to the bone.They can be caused by a number of different things‚ irritated and swollen muscles from overuse. It can also be caused by stress fractures‚ which are tiny breaks in the lower leg bones. Shin splints are very common

Studies Chapter 4 John Doe’s Story: A. What types of tissues form the surface of the dead man’s skin? Muscle Tissue How does the structure of the skin normally protect the body? It is composed of cells that can contract to generate the physical force needed to move body structures and generate heat that warms the body. B. As the body was being moved‚ skin slid away from the underlying connective tissue. What is the normal function of connective tissue? It protects and supports the body and its organs

Lab 4 Histology Name AL List the four types of tissue found in the human body and give an example of each. 1. Epithelial 2. Connective 3. Muscular 4. Nervous Epithelial tissue What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue? it never has contact with another cell‚ it always has a free surface. They contain no blood vessels (avascular) and depend on underlying tissues for needed nutrients and oxygen sources to maintain homeostasis. it is usually very thin for this reason

Notes on histology Histology Lecture 1 Histology is the study of tissues: in our case‚ it means study of tissues which make up the human body. Tissue is defined as a group of cells which perform a common function. All the cells in a given tissue are not necessarily identical or similar e.g. blood is a type of connective tissue but it has many different types of cells. However‚ tissue also contains two other components i.e. ground substance (or matrix) and fibres. Despite the complexity of

(5 points) The most basic characteristics of the epithelial tissue is that it covers the surfaces of the body whether internal or external. It acts as a protective covering or boundary for such surfaces‚ including the outer layer of the skin‚ as well as the inner surface of the hallow organs like the stomach‚ colon‚ and blood vessels. Other characteristics is that it is made

Tissues Tissues are sets of the same cells carrying out particular functions these include; epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle and nervous. Epithelial tissues are the inside layer of internal and external surfaces and body cavities‚ including ducts carrying secretions from glands. They may be composed of some layers of cells‚ called compound epithelia or just a single layer which is known as simple epithelia. The lowest or bottom layer of cells is attached to the basement membrane for support and

CONNECTIVE TISSUE (SPECIALIZED) I. Abstract In this experiment‚ identification and classification of different types of connective tissue was performed. Also‚ cells and extracellular matrix was to be identified in them. For this‚ different already prepared slides were chosen and observed under the microscope to then identify the different parts. II. Introduction Apart from the bone and cartilage‚ the rest of the specialized connective tissues are divided into 4: Muscle tissue‚ Adipose

connective tissue. The name means “soft connective tissue that progressively turns to bone.” FOP is a result of a mutation in the body’s tissue repair structures‚ which will cause fibrous tissue to turn to bone‚ or become ossified‚ randomly or upon tissue damage. In the majority of cases‚ any injury can cause the affected joints to become frozen in place indefinitely. Removal of the newly ossified tissue is counterproductive‚ as the attempt at repairing the tissue will simply signal the tissue to regrow
