osteochondrosis dissecans. There are a wide variety of theories to what exactly causes the development of these lesions but observably osteochondrosis is endochondral tissue that has failed to properly ossify thus creating abnormal cartilage on the bone, often seen in joints. (Kane, 2012) Of the many theories proposed on the topic, special focus should be given to the nutritional implications, effects of various training programs, and the genetic inheritance factor. Nutrition is critical to the…

The two critical needs in treatment to treat osteosarcoma is to prevent relapse into osteosarcoma and better treatments after surgery. Current treatments in osteosarcoma involve surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, the chances of cancer relapses are extremely high. Thus, we need more efficient post-surgery treatments to prevent relapsing of a much stronger cancer. Several new drugs for chemotherapy are being tested to provide better results but none of the drug alone has shown…

and types of bones and tissues it contains. The chapter talks about the different groupings of our bones and the function that each group is responsible for. They also explain the bone structure and the way our bones are connected to cartilage that allows different the different kind of movements we make. Finally the chapter closes by discussing the internal processes happening within our bones such as the way our bones grow and develop from the time we are born and also the way our bones can…

an organism. It’s made of the bones inside our body and the tissue that connects them. The function of the skeletal system is to provide support and protection for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and the heart.

Shubin states that, “Tiktaalik has a shoulder, elbow, and wrist composed of the same bones as an upper arm, forearm, and wrist in a human,” showing its connections to the human body. He then moves onto the history of our hands, referring to Sir Richard Owen’s discovery that there was a fundamental design in all vertebrate land animals along with many marine animals. Limbs had a one bone, two bones, and several little bones structure which penguins, bats, seals, whales and even dinosaurs had.…

of horse racing injuries. The cause of knee fractures is hyper-extension resulting from fatigue or poor confirmation. Another is bucked skins, caused by concussion on immature legs. Bucked shins are an inflammation of the tissue covering the cannon bones and often occur in young horses in early training. Bowed Tendon (a.k.a. Tendonitis) is a strain due to deep footing, fatigue, low heels and long toes, hyper-extension or improper training. An inflammation of the tendon or tendon sheath, usually…

HIV and diabetes. Resting the affected joint is mostly used for treatment to prevent any trauma issue. Traumatic injury is also another cause of this condition. The inflammation irritates because the sacs does not fit in and small area between the bone and functionary…
