different types of bone in the human body‚ first we have long bones‚ some being the longest bones available in the skeleton such as the tibia and femur but are also some of the smallest bones such as the metacarpals and metatarsals. The description best suited to long bones would be that they are longer in length than they are in width‚ with epiphysis at either end. (The bones growth plates). The inside of the bone is a spongy like substance known as cancellous bone which is where the bone marrow is found

bleeding because a bone has popped out of his leg this called compound fracture. What is a fracture? The word fracture means broken bone this occurred when the bone snaps into two or bone snaps into several pieces due to excessive force. There is different way a fracture can occur‚ for instance small children are risk of developing fractures due to weak bone because children has lack of calcification and women with menopause develop a condition called osteoporosis due to bone becomes fragile because

Analyze the bone markings of the vertebrae and distinguish among the cervical‚ thoracic‚ and lumbar vertebrae. Vertebrae possess a vertebral body‚ which is anterior in position which are the major weight bearing components of the bone. Attached to the posterior of the body is a posteriorly projecting piece of bone known as a pedicle. There is a pedicle on the left and right hand sides. The pedicle is continuous with the lamina. The lamina from the left and right sides join in the midline and form

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a disease of bone that leads to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced‚ bone microarchitecture is disrupted‚ and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old healthy female average) as measured by DXA; the term "established osteoporosis" includes

Boys of Blood and Bone David Metzenthen David Metzenthen’s Boys of Blood and Bone is a truly ambitious novel. He received his inspiration to write the novel as a tribute to his grandfather‚ to show his respect to those who went to war and to connect young Australians to past history. His novel links the stories of Henry Lyon‚ in the summer before he starts his first year at University and Andy Lansell‚ an Australia digger killed in World War 1. The book contains several messages which should

body‚ as such‚ the organisation of the bone tissue is very important. Bone tissue can be broken down into macroscopic and microscopic organisation. Working from the superficial surface to the median of a bones anatomy‚ macroscopic tissue structure is organised as follows; compact bone‚ spongy bone‚ the medullary cavity and on the surface of the compact bone at the distal and proximal epiphyses of long bones is the connective articular cartilage. The compact bone is the supportive‚ protective shell

BONE CANCER The human body consists of 206 bones. Each individual bone functions differently. The body bones are arranged so that they help to support and guard many organs. The bones too function as a muscle attachment‚ which helps during movement. The most significant function of a bone is being able to produce and store cells in bone marrow. Healthy cells grow‚ split‚ and increase through out the body. Body tissue is made of cells. Nonetheless‚ several cells may be irregular. Although healthy

After bone fracture‚ many chemical and biological processes are triggered in the bone. After fracture‚ a cascade of signaling biomolecules and cellular changes induces bone healing simultaneously and sequentially. Generally‚ the bone healing process comprises four consecutive steps‚ that is‚ inflammation (reactive phase)‚ fibrocartilage callus formation (reparative phase)‚ bony callus formation (reparative phase)‚ and remodeling phase [31]. In the inflammatory phase‚ damage of vasculature results

Project 1.2.3: Bone Detectives Introduction When we think of bones‚ we most often think of the way in which these hard structures support the body‚ how they work with muscles to produce movement and how they protect our internal organs. But the 206 bones of the human skeleton can also tell a story. The specific structure of your bones reveals information about your gender‚ your height‚ your age and even your ethnicity. These biological clues are often the first pieces of evidence scientists

Bone marrow transplantation Bone marrow transplantation is a process used to transfer a soft inner part of bone tissue from donor to recipient. It used for patient with certain leukemia or hematopoietic disease. Bone marrow transplantations prescribed to substitute a mal functioning patients bone marrow with a healthy donated marrow that histologically compatible to patient body to insure the maximum beneficence. Bone marrow aspired from donor then treated and frozen till the recipient is ready
