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

Topic 1 In anatomy and physiology‚ one of the things you will learn about is bones. Bones do so much for a person and they can even do things for you after death. This semester we discussed bones. We labeled the human skeleton and that allowed us to be able to see where each bone is and what is does for the body.

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

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
