because the torus is continuous with the mandibular cortex. Torus mandibularis have been associated with age‚ gender and dental status; although both genetic and environmental factors may also play a role in the formation of torus‚ the masticatory system should be considered as the primary essential initiative factor. The research conducted by Uysal‚ Cagirankaya and Hatipoglu determined the effect of gender on Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI) and verified the relationship between

When humans began walking on two legs‚ which caused a series of modifications to take place in the human skeletal system. In humans‚ the spinal cord comes out of the base of the skull‚ called the foramen magnum and goes straight downwards. While in chimpanzees the spinal cord comes out of the back of the skull. The chimpanzees pelvis is long and narrow. Humans pelvis

Premium Bone Skeletal system Muscle
Most of our skeletal muscles are attached to bone on either end by tendons. As the muscles contract‚ they exert force on the bones. This force helps to support and move our body. Normally one end of the muscle is fixed in its position and the other end moves during contraction. The Origin is the attachment site that is stationary during contraction. The insertion is the site that does move when a muscle contracts. When we discuss the position of the Origin and insertion points‚ the insertion

two main properties‚ the mass and the quality of the bone. The bone is a living tissue made up of tough elastic collagen fibers and minerals and contains cells that make and moulds itself in a process called bone resorption‚ it also forms the rigid skeletal framework that protects body organs. Osteoporosis is influenced by various factors such as genetic‚ sex‚ hormones nutrition‚ environment and others‚ As we grow bones tend to form fast‚ and as a result new bones are added to the skeleton than old
