divisions: the axial skeleton‚ the bones that form the longitudinal axis of the body‚ and the appendicular skeleton‚ the bones of the limbs and girdles. In addition to bones‚ the skeletal system includes joints‚ cartilages‚ and ligaments (fibrous cords that bind the bones together at joints). The joints give the body flexibility and allow movement to occur. Bones: An Overview Identify the subdivisions of the skeleton as axial or appendicular. Axial – bones that form the longitudinal axis of

1. Describe bone physiology and the bone remodeling cycle. Be sure to emphasize the two types of bone tissue and the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. During our adolescent years our bones are evolving to become protracted and broader. Therefore‚ formation is occurring until we have reached our peak bone mass. The peak bone mass is usually reached by the age of 30; therefore‚ as we age formation decelerates. Essentially‚ exercising is an ethical verdict‚ especially during our matured

Osteoarthritis... the major culprit The first is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a disease of cartilage‚ the gristle that caps the ends of long bones‚ and which cushions joints to allow gliding. When cartilage wears away‚ in other words‚ deteriorates‚ it causes the bones in the hip to rub against each other. The pain of osteoarthritis is generally felt in the groin. It also may be felt in the buttocks. Patients may have difficulty getting their shoes and socks on and off the affected foot. Getting

infectious disease of periodontum. Gingivitis is a disease which arise when there is an inflammation in the ginigival epithelium as well in the connective tissue. When this inflammation start to cause destruction in periodontal connective tissue and the bone which support the tooth then this situation called periodontitis. The causative factor for both gingivitis and periodontitis is microbial(1). It is important to know that periodontitis is very common inflammatory disease and believed to be the primary

to resorption or deposition of bone‚ whereas the latter refers to the resorption or reinforcement of lamellar bone within the existing osteons \cite{Cowin1976}. \end{sloppypar} Bone Remodelling involves three types of cells‚ osteoblasts‚ osteocytes and osteoclasts. Following the osteoblastic process‚ the osteoblasts develop into lacunae‚ otherwise known as osteocytes. These are responsible for the provision of calcium and other ions between the blood plasma and bone minerals \cite{mclean1968fundamentals}

December 18th‚ 2013 Block 8 Body Tissues Essay There are four major categories of tissues in the human body. Each of them separate into even smaller groups with specific structures and functions. The four major types are epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. They are all necessities of the human body and contribute to many functions our bodies and cells carry out in order to survive. Tissues interact and group together to make up organs which then compose systems

What is it? Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become very weak and brittle. Bone is a living tissue that is constantly being replaced as it is removed. However‚ when the creation of new bone is not caught up with the removal of old bone‚ bones become brittle. Bones can become so weak that falling down‚ bending over‚ and coughing can cause a fracture. Most fractures occur in the hip‚ wrists‚ and spine. Juvenile Osteoporosis is a rare type of osteoporosis that occurs in children. This
