Adipose tissue

The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, in which are held together by a network of ligaments, tendons and cartilage that connect them together. Besides movement the skeleton also provides protection to vital organs such as our brain, our heart, lungs and abdominal organs. Although our skeleton provides us with such protection it is still prone to injury, wear and tear, infections, tumors and other conditions that can damage bone and become life threatening.…

Muscle tissue is one of the four tissues types that exist in the human body. There are three different muscle tissues, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle tissue cells are long, striated, and have many nuclei. Cardiac muscle tissue, just like the skeletal is also in striations. These cells are short and branched. Unlike, the skeletal muscle tissue these cells die single nucleated. They are connected by intercalated discs. Smooth muscle tissue is not striated. Its Cells are short and…

Everybody desires to be at the top of his game even after an injury.I first acquired my McDavid calf sleeve after getting a piece of advice from my friend. It occurred on one Saturday afternoon, I was busy playing basketball with my boys.That day I was off my game because of a small injury, I got while moving my things into my new apartment. We were playing against a team which we have beaten numerous times, but this time, I could not play as good as I used to because of an irritating pain in my…

treatment of alternate, and most importantly, deadly diagnosis. Cellulitis- Cellulitis is an acute bacterial infection causing inflammation of the epidermis, dermis and the underlying subcutaneous tissue. Proximal streaking of the skin can be seen when the infection is spread through the lymphatic tissues and is a very…

The humerus is classed as a long bone and is located in the upper arm, connecting the shoulder to the elbow. The long bone as suggested by its name is long in structure, meaning they are considerably longer then they are wider. The structure for the humerus is typically similar to all structures of long bones, with a shaft, bone ends and membranes. Dyaphysis or the shaft of the humerus makes up the long axis of he bone and is constructed of very high density compact bone (Merieb, 2010). This…

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, or Stone Man’s Disease, is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments, are replaced by bone outside the skeleton when the tissue is wounded. When the extra bone grows over the necessary bone, precise movements are restrained, such as bending the elbow, and rotating the neck. FOP is an inherited disease that progresses over time, hence “Progressiva,” and never gets better. For this disease, there is no cure, only…

dystrophy Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy Zachary Uecker Genetic Disease Abstract Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that targets skeletal muscles and over time, the muscles lose protein and are replaced by fats and connective tissue, making the skeletal muscles unusable. In this paper, the parts of Duchenne’s that will be covered are the method of transmission, statistics about Duchenne’s in the population, the pathophysiology, the body systems effected, signs and…

risk of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are acquired as a result of prolonged periods of immobility during unrelieved pressure which compresses tissues that overlie in bony prominences. The principal factor in pressure ulcer development is excessive tissue pressure that prevents the normal supply of blood to the affected area. The severity of skin and tissue damage will depend on how long the patient had been exposed. Prevention is the best intervention for pressure ulcers. There are several…

Genus Dysteria (Huxley, 1857) Synonyms: Aegyria Ehrenberg, 1838; Ervilia Dujardin, 1841 This genus was first reported by Huxley in 1857. It is a member of class Phyllopharyngea shows characters such as ciliated stage with somatic kineties mostly as monokinetids that each have a lateral kinetodesmal fibril, a reduced or absent, transverse microtubular ribbon. This genus belongs to subclass Phyllopharyngia show characters such as trophonts free-swimming, may be sessile but usually not…
