Have you ever gone to the doctor and ended up needing to get an MRI? If you have, did you know what it was or what it was meant to do? If you knew what it was for, you probably didn’t know the science behind how it worked. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. Well an MRI is used for taking pictures to diagnose you. It is used on your chest, abdomen and pelvis. So pregnant women doctors might do a body MRI to safely monitor the baby. The MRI has a strong magnetic field. Which can be…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, progressive, degenerative joint process where the articular cartilage layer on the ends of bones at the joints deteriorates, and the bone plate gets thicker and more sclerotic. Additionally, this affects the joint’s protective mechanisms including ligaments and muscle. OA is manifested as a monoarticular or polyarticular phenomenon and is often asymmetric. It can occasionally appear as a more generalized disease. OA usually begins asymptomatically when the…

found in the bones, muscles, skin and tendons, where it forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure. Lupus is a collagen vascular disease that causes unique symptoms in each patient. Additional symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest pain, headaches, and dry eyes. People with lupus may have long periods of remission without symptoms. Symptoms can flare up during times of stress or after prolonged exposure to sunlight. Osteogenesis imperfecta also known as brittle bone disease, is…

material that fits under the arch of the foot and goes up the sides of the leg. The liner of the brace may be made of a soft gel-like material, or it may be inflatable. The liner lets the brace fit the ankle well without causing pressure on the ankle bones. HOW TO PUT ON A STIRRUP ANKLE BRACE To put on a stirrup ankle brace: Place the bottom of your foot on the bottom…

Osteochondrodysplasia is a group of unusual hereditary disorders of the bone, connective tissue, or cartilage. In this disorder growth and evolution of cartilage, bone, and connective tissue are impaired. Osteochondrodysplasias can be passed down by the parent to the offspring. This disorder causes the skeleton to flourish abnormally and the results can lead to dwarfism. The chances in someone having osteochondrodysplasia is one in every 4000 to 5000 births. This disorder is not developed as…

medical records to match past injuries to the history of the remains; however, such records are not always available to match with remains (Sauer 1992: 105). Unlike the other specialists called in on cases with remains, forensic anthropologists use the bones to look to the bio cultural context including the significance and the patterns present in the location of the find as well as the elements present on the skeleton (Sauer 1992:…

job, creating a seamless rhythm with one another, bringing energy, nutrients and life to a sack of flesh, blood and bones. It’s absolutely amazing to learn and understand how the body is made up of so made different and ever-changing things but can function as a whole. In this paper I will explain how just one mineral can play a massive role in keeping your nerves, muscles and bones healthy. Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate varied biochemical reactions in the…

Limbs and girdles are rings of bones that attach each limb pair to the axial, or central, part of the skeleton. The hands are attached at the wrist joints and the feet are attached at the ankle joints. The hand contains 27 bones divided into carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The foot contains 26 bones divided into tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. Who knew a hand and a foot individually have so many bones? Unlike scaffolding, which is the regrowth of bones, bones change all the time. They…

Bone is the main structural component of the body. Bones protect the body, they are the framework of the body, and they make it where on is just not a blob on the floor. A lot of time when one gets cancer in the bones it is an advanced form of cancer that has spread from elsewhere in the body. This is called metastatic cancer.(cancer.org) Other types include cancers that start in blood cells of the bone marrow. True bone cancers start from tumors, and are called sarcomas. (cancer.org)…

that when you work with a team things get done a lot more efficiently and less work gets put on one single person. In this case the synovial joint is surrounded by the following structures: Tendons which attach our muscles to the bone, ligaments which attach bone to bone, Bursae, which are small sacs of extra synovial fluid that provide extra cushion and protection to the synovial joint. These structures help facilitate and support the joint when it needs it the most. Plus the ultimate health of…
