Long bone

Better! Living with chronic pain can stifle you in so many ways, from constantly feeling discouraged and overwhelmed to not wanting to eat right or exercise. If the chronic pain you're dealing with is related to your back, shoulders, knees or other bone-joint problems, consider finding the wellness you seek with the help of a chiropractor. Chiropractic treatment is the third most common form of medicine in the United States, right behind physicians and dentists. The following five benefits of…

There are many bone disorders that humans have. One bone disorder is bone spurs. Bone spurs are projections that form on the edges of the bone. The projections that form are very bony. The bone spurs appear when bones meet with other bones. They also may start to form on the bones of the spines. People think that the word “spur” means sharp but it actually stands for another bone. A spur is smooth but is very painful and causes wear and tear on the bones. Bone spurs are common in the hips,…

predispositions, gender, previous trauma or injuries, workplace environment, obesity and other medical conditions affecting the joint and it's cartilage. The symptoms vary from slight creaks in the joint, pain, swelling and the loss of cartilages between bones. Sitting for longer periods of time can also trigger severe stiffness in the joint. As OA is a degenerative joint disease there is no outright cure. Upon detection of the symptoms, a sport medicine doctor may order imaging - X-rays - when…

There are many bones in the human body, the bones make up the skeleton that provides structure and support for the body. This paper will list some major bones and the muscles that are connected to these muscles. The first major bone on the list is the tibia, which is located in the lower leg. The muscle that connects to the tibias origin is the hamstring, which helps with flexibility and strength in the legs. Another muscle would be the clavicle which is in the insertion of the trapezius…

Osteogenesis and the stages of bone development The early stages of bone development. Osteogenesis, also known as ossification, is the process in which bone forms. In the early stages, the ‘skeleton’ is made up of loose fibrous connective tissue membranes and hyaline cartilage, and are already in the shape of bones, these are the site where ossification will begin. This provides the foundation for subsequent ossification, starting in the 6th or 7th week of embryonic development. They will…

Metastatic bone disease is explained by Mercadante (1997) as disease that develops when there is abnormal metabolism within the bone with increased osteoclast activity. Patients with bone metastasis often present with pain, they are also at an increased risk of hypercalcaemia, fractures and in some cases metastatic spinal cord compression, all of which compromise the patient's functional status, quality of life, and survival. Clinicians should utilise the World Health Organization analgesic…

class of connective tissue system is chondroblast, which is an immature cell consists of a cell growing cartilage tissue. Then, the osteoblast states as a cell in which the mature bone cell is developed. It derives from fibroblast as osteoblast forming into a mature state; it will associate with the production of bone. The last class of connective tissue is hemocytoblast defines as the development of any type of blood during embryonic…

development. During development, the fetal bones are made up of cartilaginous tissue, which is like osseous tissue, except it is more flexible. The absence of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces makes it less dense. As development continues, the process of the depositing of calcium salts into the cartilaginous tissue occurs, and continues throughout their life. Ossification is the gradual replacement of cartilage and its intercellular substance by bone cells that are immature, and calcium…

A metabolic bone disorder. Occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” When viewed under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a honeycomb. When osteoporosis occurs the holes and spaces in the “honeycomb” are much larger than in healthy bone. The bones have lost density or mass and contain abnormal tissue structure. As bones become less dense, they weaken and are more likely to break. This occurs from a lack of calcium and phosphate…

It comprises approximately 80% of the total skeletal tissue mass and is most common in the long bone shafts, or diaphysis, of the body (limbs, appendicular skeleton) [7, 8]. Cortical bone is characterized by a slow turnover rate, with a high resistance to bending and torsion, providing a great compressive strength, which contributes to its protective and mechanical role. It forms a thick…
