Similar to other types of cancer‚ bone cancer can be life threatening. Doctors are not completely sure what causes cancer‚ but they continue the search to find an answer. There are five different types of bone cancer that can affect people from ages 10-60 years old. Bone cancer can occur in any bone in the

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

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex‚ pose a significant health risk to the patient‚ or fail to heal properly.Bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely but requires a very small fracture space or some sort of scaffold to do so. Bone grafts may be autologous harvested from the patient’s own body‚ often from the allograft or synthetic with similar mechanical properties to bone. Most bone grafts

Chemical Composition of Bone Bone is a very hard material which is capable of bearing a large amount of weight and resisting tension and twisting forces. Therefore‚ this material is both flexible and hard. The hardness of bone is due to calcium deposits in the matrix while the flexibility comes from the organic material of the matrix. We can illustrate these facts by treating two bone samples by two different methods: 1. Soaking a bone in vinegar (dilute acetic acid) removes calcium

up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues‚ that is‚ they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells‚ the gelatin the support material for matrix‚ and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances‚ we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight

Bone Cancer Bone cancer is when there is an abnormal growth in the amount of tissue in a bone. These strange growths can be either benign or malignant‚ but usually malignant. There are two types of bone cancer; primary and secondary. In primary bone cancer‚ the cancer had actually started in the cells of the bone‚ whilst in secondary‚ the cancer has started in a different area and traveled through the body to the bone. The three main types of bone cancer are osteosarcomas‚ Ewing’s sarcomas‚ and

Bone cancer can be primary bone canceror secondary bone cancer. Primary bone cancer started in the bone; the cancer initially formed in the cells of the bone‚ while secondary cancer started elsewhere in the body and spread to the bone. Examples of primary bone cancer include steosarcoma‚ Ewing sarcoma‚ malignant fibrous histiocytoma‚ and chondrosarcoma. According to the National Cancer Institute‚ USA‚ it is estimated that by the end of 2010 there will have been 2‚650 new cases and 1‚450 deaths
