Long bone

Periosteal lesions are non-specific changes to the underlying bone that can occur due to a range of diseases or other problems affecting the skeleton (Ortner, 2003). These lesions occur because the periosteum, which is the dense layer of connective tissue enveloping the bone, maintains osteoblastic capability throughout life. The lesions are not restricted to infections, but rather can be a result of any bone formation following a traumatic event affecting the skeleton (Ortner, 2003). Waldron…

Strength training gives you stronger bones, helps controlling your weight, helps your endurance, and helps you concentrate. Strength training causes your bone density to be higher, and you have a chance less likely to develop osteoporosis. The more you strength train the more muscle you gain, which makes you burn calories faster and easier. As you become stronger, then you will not easily fatigue. Building muscle can help you as you age. Strength training helps your body from things like back…

individual, the long bones are particularly focused on due to the small amount of variation between the left and right sides and the estimated size of the long bones at the time of sexual maturity. Long bones can also show signs of trauma that may have been recorded and can allow for a more accurate estimation of stature at time of death. The conversion of centimeters to millimeters was a bit difficult to navigate so to account for intra-observer and measurement error, the long bones where…

and the femur in the lower leg are examples of long bones in the arms and legs. Also there is the ulna in the forearm and the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. Long bones function is to support weight of the body. The femur is the longest bone in the body. Long bones also include the metatarsals, phalanges and the metacarpals. Long bones simplify movement. The flat bones in the body include the cranial bones, ribs, sternum and the scapula. Flat bones have function to protect internal organs…

between dentofacial complex as a whole and the position of hyoid bone in different Angle’s class malocclusion has intrigued and attracted many researchers. The hyoid bone is unique in that it has no bony articulation with any other bone but is instead suspended in the soft tissue via ligaments and muscles (Romanes et al 1983). Different muscles such as infra and suprahyoid muscles and genioglossus muscle influence the position of the hyoid bone (Gray H, 1954) (Yamaoka et al 2003). Brodie…

During the fetal development the first stage of the “bones” is cartilage which resembles bones but is more flexible due to the lack of calcium salts as it develops calcium salts are deposit into it all through until after it is born to life. As a result, the process of gradual replacement of immature bone cells and calcium deposits is called Ossification. 2. What are the roles of Osteoclasts in bone formation? The roles of Osteoclasts in bone formation are as follows, the suffix –clast is from…

Calcium Supplementation in Dogs There are many reasons why owners feel the need to supplement their dogs with certain nutrients. They may be trying to fill holes in their dog’s diet to ensure that the dog is getting the proper nutrition, or they may feel that the life stage that their animal is in requires a higher dosage or certain nutrients or minerals. Whatever the case may be for introducing certain mineral and nutrient supplements into a dog’s diet, it is important to understand the issues…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition of articular cartilage in joints commonly affecting the knees (Sinusas 2012) and slowly develops over many years resulting from mechanical stress (Kisner and Colby 2003). Unfortunately, the risk of developing OA increases with several factors including genetics, increasing age, obesity and female gender (Sinusas 2012). OA causes pain and stiffness in the joints however it is an incurable disease and therefore physiotherapy treatment should focus on…

side of the joint or both sides? What does the pain feel like: aching, stiff, sharp or dull, shooting? How strong is the name? When did this pain start? What time of the day does the pain occur? How long does it last? How often does it occur? Is the…

Introduction: Neonatal bone health is a problem of growing interest and concern because of the increasing recognition of its impact upon childhood, adolescence and even adulthood. Osteoporosis in adulthood often has its roots in childhood. Some forms may be prevented by proper attention to neonatal and childhood bone health. A premature infant likely suffers lifelong decreased bone mineral density as a result of its early birth and the lack of adequate mineral stores that are typically present…
