ossificans progressive‚ more commonly known as ‘Stone Man’s Syndrome’ or the abbreviation ‘FOP’‚ is genetic disease involving the body’s connective tissue. It is one of the medical world’s most rare and debilitating illnesses. As its common name says‚ Stone Man’s Disease causes “bone tissue begins to grow where muscles‚ tendons‚ and other connective tissues should be‚ effectively restricting movement” (Torres‚ 2013). As a result‚ the boy’s ligaments‚ tendons‚ and muscles form into solid bone. The

composition. Body composition is divided into two separate types of mass fat-free mass which is comprised of all the body’s non fat tissues and body fat‚ fat free mass includes bone‚ water‚ muscle‚ and tissues. Our body fat includes essential fats‚ such as lipids‚ and nonessential body fats‚ these fats make up around five percent of total body weight for men and up to 12 percent for women. Nonessential fat is found mainly within fat cells and adipose tissue‚ below the skin and surrounding major organs. The

altogether. Within the biomedical engineering realm‚ there are multiple subspecialties that graduates have a choice from. Because multiple subspecialties coincide‚ those who decide to develop or test artificial organs‚ can be referred to as tissue engineers. Tissue engineering can be defined as the use of cells and engineering materials to

Osmosis in Potato Tissue Experiment Background Information Osmosis can be defined as the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. The semi-permeable membrane allows small particles through it but does not allow large particles such as sodium chloride. Osmosis will continue until a state of equilibrium is reached i.e. there is no area with a higher or lower concentration than another area

Cartilage and bone are both stiff connective tissues which form an essential structural component of the body of animal organisms‚ including human beings. However‚ they are also quite different in both composition and function. Bones are extremely hard‚ dense tissue which provide a supportive frame for the body ‚ as well as serving as production and storage centers for cells and minerals‚ whereas cartilage is a more flexible tissue found in more specific locations of the body‚ essentially midway

(P4) Cardiovascular System Cardiac Hypertrophy The heart increases in size and volume; this allows more blood to enter the heart allowing a greater amount of oxygenated blood to be pumped to the working muscles. To withstand the large amount of blood‚ the left ventricle becomes thicker

Chronic inflammation has been shown to be a consistent pre-cursor to many metabolic diseases‚ such as obesity‚ fatty liver disease‚ atherosclerosis‚ insulin resistance‚ type II diabetes‚ degenerative disorders such as dementia‚ airway disease and some cancers.1 The relationship between diet‚ and more specifically refined carbohydrates‚ and chronic inflammation has been of high interest in the media in recent years. This interest could have a lot to do with the alarming rate that these metabolic
