Polymethylmethacrylate‚ or PMMA for short‚ is a polymer consisting of the monomer methyl methacrylate that has been around since the 1930s1. PMMA is a polymer that has a high impact strength‚ is scratch and shatter resistant‚ and is relatively lightweight1. Because PMMA can also be formed into a transparent thermoplastic and has a glass transitions temperature of 130oC‚ this polymer served as a glass substitute in its early uses1. Other beneficial characteristics of Polymethylmethacrylate include

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

The bones and circulatory system are usually the parts of the body that are longer and the ones that are changed because of the disease. There are many things that can cause a disease. Marfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene. The gene produces a protein that is essential for formatting the elastic fibers found in connective tissue. About 75 percent of people with Marfan syndrome inherit

A lot of people have heard the terms aerobics and anaerobic‚ but most people don’t know what those terms mean. These two terms refer to the presence and absence of oxygen. Our bodies cells choose to get the energy that they need using oxygen to fuel metabolism. During an aerobic activity the muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobics the muscle cell doesn’t rely on oxygen to fuel the muscle contractions. It relies on its natural body chemicals. Aerobics is a low
