The skeletal system is essential to the working of the human body. It provides protection and aids with movement, also. Approximately 20% of the human body’s mass is attributed to the skeletal system. This system is mostly comprised of bones, but there are other critical elements included as well. These elements are ligaments and cartilage. The human skeletal system is divided into two parts; the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton is further divided, from superior to inferior…

over 10% of all human deaths.("Bone tumor") It starts out as a small tumor that then grows unrestricted. Because cancer cells replicate endlessly the cancer will spread until it interferes so heavily with the patients bodily functions that they die. Bone tumors can be cancerous. Benign bone tumors are not very harmful and won’t spread. Malignant bone tumors on the other hand are cancerous and will spread. Malignant bone tumors kill 37% of patients within five years.("Bone tumor") At first the…

six bones, plus it is important because it protects our organs. It starts from your skull and it ends at your phalanges. It also helps to move around an support an individual. The skeletal system develops from having up to two hundred and seventy bones when an infant to having two hundred and six bones when an adult.(Zimmermann, 2015) Females and males tend to have different skeletal systems, since women give birth they need a flatter and larger pelvis so the baby has space to come out. Bones…

Background: Large bone defects and infections still represent a major challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Bone infection is a very serious condition resulting in patient suffering, financial burden, and sometimes fatalities. The main cause for bone infection is usually trauma, diabetes and biomaterial-related implant associated infections. Infection is a significant cause for implant failure, impaired functionality, and reduced lifetime of medical devices, resulting in high distress for the…

2. Discussion: Pathophysiology How hip implant is engineered An artificial hip is also referred to as a prosthesis. A prosthesis is a mechanical device that is designed to replace a biological part of the body. Each hip implant is made up two main parts: the Acetabular component or socket replaces the acetabulum. The acetabular component is made of a metal shell with the plastic inner that provides the bearing surface. The plastic used is so tough and slick. The femoral component the stem…

The patella bone is known as the knee cap. This bone helps us walk and keep our balance.The patella is not connected to any other bone. The patella is in the medial area of the leg. The patella is attached…

fractures or closed fractures occur when a bone breaks without breaking through the skin. In general, these fractures are treated with immobilization and may require surgical repair. Compound fractures can also be called open fractures and are named as such because the bone breaks through the skin. These fractures are susceptible to becoming infected and therefore need to be treated with urgent surgical repair. Comminuted fractures are fracture where the bone breaks into more than two pieces.…

axial skeleton is the supporting structure of the skeleton. It provides support and protection for the brain, the spinal cord and many of the organs within the human body. It also provides the body with a distinct shape. Below are the functions of the bones of the axial skeleton. Skull (Cranium): The skull has one main function and that is to provide support for the brain and protection for external damage. There are many…

Bones are in everybody’s body. Just like the organs, they can get infected. The most common diseases of the bones are osteopenia and osteoporosis. Osteochondritis dissecans, though rare, can still pop up and cause more damage to your body. In addition, Osteopenia and Osteoporosis can occur through genetics, but sometimes the environment contributes. First, let’s get down to the basics. Everybody knows that the skeletal system is used for the protection of organs, holds the structure of the body…
