The bones of the skeletal system hold the body together‚ give it shape and support weight. They also enable the body to move and provide protection to the vital organs. There are four types of bones found in the human body: they are long bones which can be found in the arms‚ legs‚ fingers and toes‚ short bones which are found in the wrist and ankles‚ flat bones such as those in the skull‚ thorax and pelvis‚ irregular bones such as the bones of the vertebral column and face and sesamoid bones‚ which

Scoliosis :Homeostatic Imbalance The spine is composed of bones called the vertebrae. The vertebrae purpose is to work with fibers to sort the spinal cord. The vertebrae are classified by main regions called the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ sacrum and coccyx. When there is an unusual disease affecting the spine by making an arch it is called scoliosis. Scoliosis is mainly now for its shaped S or C in the spinal column. Its twist and rotation‚have cause deformation in different parts of the section

Anatomy and Physiology Introduction In this assignment i will carry full investigation and analysis on the Skeletal system‚using my class notes‚researching on the internet and reading books. The Skeletal system is the system of bones‚ associated cartilages and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human

This can be approached in two further ways. By tissue systems eg bones‚ joints‚ muscles etc. or by physiological systems eg cardiovascular‚ respiratory etc. Here a tissue approach will be used. Topographical. Involves the study or description of regions and the relationships of the structures within the region‚ eg

mechanical properties‚ it is not bioactive. However‚ PMMA can still anchor prosthetics to adjacent bone through penetration into the polymer by spongy bone3. The spongy bone enters the polymer and forms a cross-linked section referred to as the bone cement interface. The main limitation in the application of PMMA for this anchorage is that it cannot be utilized in prosthesis adjacent to smooth bone. As a result‚ much of the current research on PMMA is the addition of other compounds to make it bioactive

Osteomyelitis What once was considered an incurable condition‚ osteomyelitis is inflammation of bone‚ bone marrow‚ and the soft tissue surrounding the bone caused by infection. The infection can start in the bone by spreading from nearby tissue or traveling through the bloodstream. This infection can also develop in the bone itself if the bone is exposed to germs in any way. Osteomyelitis can be classified as chronic or acute and the treatment for both depends on many factors (“Osteomyelitis”‚ 2014)

Health Assessment Exam #4 Chapter 21: Abdomen (approx. 21 questions) 1. Aortic pulsation a. Normally‚ you may see the pulsations from the aorta beneath the skin in the epigastric area‚ particularly in thin persons with good muscle wall relaxation. b. Marked pulsation of aorta occurs with widened pulse pressure (e.g.‚ hypertension‚ aortic insufficiency‚ thyrotoxicosis) and with aortic aneurysm. c. lateral pulsation with aortic aneurysm pushes the examiner’s two fingers apart. 2.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Brittle Bone Disease Sami Gizara Lakeland High School Honors Biology Block 6 March 10‚ 2013 Current Applications in Science Abstract (Summary and Background) Osteogenesis Imperfecta was a severe‚ congenital genetic disorder which can cause the human bones to be extremely delicate. This disease is caused by a mutation(whether it be deletion or duplication) in chromosome 17q21‚ 31-q22‚ 7q22.1‚ which are the chromosomes that help the body produce the proteins

of your body. Our bones make it possible to move. To help us move better we have four different types of joints. A joint is where two bones meet. The four types are hinge joint‚ ball and socket joint‚ pivot joint‚ and gliding joint. There are also some joints like the ones in your skull that don’t move. You also have four main types of bones long bones like the ones in your
