P2 Task two Tissues The tissues are structures formed by a group of billion of cells with a similar structure. A group of cells together form tissues, tissues from organs and organs are form system organs. There are four different types of basic animal tissue: 1) Epithelial Tissue: This tissue is formed of one or a few layers of cells adhere to a basement membrane.…

Sickness is, through the events of Ward’s Salvage the Bones, a recurring theme: Esch realises that she is pregnant and gets sick because of it; and Daddy loses his fingers, getting sick too. Salvage the Bones is a novel set in the mid 2000’s during the previous days before Hurricane Katrina. During Salvage the Bones, illness creates difficulties both in long term and short term that disrupt the family, but after the family overcomes these illnesses, the family becomes stronger. During the second chapter of the book, we become aware of Esch’s pregnancy, a pregnancy which continues affecting her through the book: she is almost unable to outrun the dog chasing her in chapter 4 and continuously feels nauseous.…
In order to become talented in a specific sport it takes practice, patience, and athleticism but over time it is very possible for an ordinary person to achieve this status. However, in order to become the best in the world, that presents a completely different story. Through the eyes of both Tom “Digger” Stapleton and Sadie Jorgensen in Angie Abdou’s novel The Bone Cage, the reader quickly learns the difference between becoming an athlete and becoming an Olympian. Both of these Olympic hopefuls put their lives on hold in order to hopefully achieve this standard of greatness. Neither person has long term goals for the future after the Olympics, they subsist week to week and both have sacrificed the majority of their lives for the opportunity…
The functions of a bone are support, protection, attachment site for muscles making movement possible, storage of the minerals, calcium and phosphate or mineral homeostasis, blood cell production occurs in red bone marrow called hematopoiesis, and energy storage in yellow bone marrow.…
Osteopenia disease is a bone condition in which is characterized by a low density of bones, in which leads to bone weakening and an increased risk of breaking a bone (fracture). Osteopenia and osteoporosis are two related conditions. As saying this the difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis is that in osteopenia the bone loss is not as severe as the osteoporosis disease. This means that someone with osteopenia is more likely to fracture their bone than someone with a normal bone density, but is less likely to fracture a bone than someone with osteoporosis. This disease is very important because bone fractures due to osteopenia and osteoporosis they can be painful.…
The addition of new bone tissue is known as ossification. It is carried out by osteoblast which are the bone forming cells. Osteoblast began by laying an “organic matrix formed from collagen into the area of new bone formation. Mineralization takes place over a period of days to weeks, leading to finalized bone tissue. This bone is remodeled to match the shape of the bone before breakage” (Ossification).…
The boneseed leaf roller moth (Tortrix s.l. sp. chrysanthemoides) is a month in South America that was released in several different locations (New Zealand, Australia) to control the population of the boneseed plant (Chrysanthemoides monilifera ssp.monilifera). The bonseed plant is a destructive plant that overtakes and damages native plants. The plant is thick with daisy like yellow flowers, leathery leaves and black clustered fruit. This plant produces large amounts off seeds that quickly over take the surrounding resources before other plants 4.…
Femur, the bone of thigh, also known as os femoris, is the longest and strongest bone of human body. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of hip bone forming the ball and socket variety of synovial joint-the hip joint, whereas the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and patella forming the knee joint. The anatomy of the proximal end of the femur, in recent years had received the much deserved attention because of the importance of early treatment of congenital dislocation and advent of arthroplasty procedures. Susceptibility to numerous pediatric and adult disorders correlates with variations in the morphological and morphometric aspects of the bone and a proper understanding of the anatomy of this region is…
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 the Greek word meaning to break. Therefore, Osteoclasts are large cells that function to reabsorb, or digest, bony tissue.…
Craniofacial defects such as cleft lip and cleft palate which occur as an isolated condition, or may be one component of an inherited disease or syndrome are among the most common of all birth defects. Cleft lips and palates are frequent congenital craniofacial malformations, with an incidence of 1.5-2.5 per 1,000 live births. Children who have an orofacial cleft require several surgical procedures. Most large defects, also known as critical bone defects are successfully treated with allogenous as well autogenous bone grafts. From these treatment options, autogenous bone graft is gold standard to treat critical size bone defects.…
A hip fracture occurs when the UQ (upper quadrant) of a femur bone endures a break. To cause a fracture, one must fall or have a direct blow to the side of the hip. Many medical conditions such as osteoporosis, or cancer can affect the bone so much so that the bone weakens from loss of tissue making bones fragile enough to break even from standing and twisting. However, a hip dislocation occurs when the femur bone is forced out of the ball and socket joint. To dislocate a hip a fall from extreme heights may occur.…
Stabilized fractures of the tibia will be performed under anesthesia and the bones will be examined by X-ray and microCT at 14 or 21 days after fracture (n=6 per group) to obtain bone morphometric parameters including total callus volume, callus bone volume, callus mineralized volume fracture, callus mineral density, callus mineral content, and polar moment of inertia, . Histomorphometric analysis will be performed on the decalcified tibias stained with Safranin O/Fast Green for the assessment of bone and cartilage volumes as a percentage of total callus volume. For the selective visualization of osteoclast activity in vivo, fractured tibias (n=6 per group) will be paraffin-embedded and stained with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). In addition, RNA will be extracted from the callus of the fracture site (n=6 for each genotype) to determine the expression levels of genes related to osteogenesis (Runx2, osterix, osteocalcin, Dkk1, β-catenin), chondrogenesis (Sox9, Col2a1, Col10) and osteoclastogenesis (TRAP, Opg,…
They help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner. The calcified bones of your skeleton also work with the circulatory system. The skeletal system is…
What exposure have you had to osteopathic medicine? 500 words My first exposure to osteopathic medicine came when I sat down to interview Dr. Andrew Barnosky, an Emergency Physician at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. I then shadowed Dr. Nina Censoplano for a morning round at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at C.S. Mott Children 's Hospital. As I developed an interest in emergency medicine, I shadowed Dr. Ken Bishop for nineteen hours in the Emergency Department at the Beaumont Hospital in Troy.…
