Calcium channel blocker

In the experiment, I tested how soapy water would affect the amount of droplets the penny can hold. The results of my experiment show that the penny holds less droplets of soap water. When the soap is added to the water, the soap collides with water breaking down the tension. As a result, it harder for the droplets to hold together. To find whether my hypothesis was right, I did several of trials to figure out whether my hypothesis was correct. The trials were used to show how soap can change…

Of the most abundant elements together 98 percent of the 8 elements form the mass of the earth’s crust, ocean and atmosphere. Two of the most abundant elements of the eight are calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are located on the periodic table located both in group 2 sharing the same family meaning that they share chemical property’s as well as the same valence electron because of their location and family relation to the period table. The alkaline metals are a reactive group of…

regulation”(cefic). The compound earlier stated, hydroxyapatite contains both calcium and phosphorus, which are critical for growth and development of the bone structure, as well as the maintenance throughout life. Phosphorus is a mineral acid found in many different foods naturally; however, the amount found in diet soda is unnatural. Elson M. Haas, a medical practitioner, stated that phosphorus is supposed to relate to the amount of calcium in a 1:1 ratio. In contrast, diet sodas can create an…

Fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal disorder in which bone forming cell fail to mature and produce too much fibrous or connective tissue. Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bone disorder in which scar tissue develops in place of normal bone. This can weaken the affected bone and cause it to fracture.Fibrous dysplasia is linked to a gene mutation that affects the cells that produce bone. The mutation occurs after conception, in the early stages of fetal development. Which means the mutation isn't inherited…

Have you seen that bony lump at the inside of your big toe joint? If you did, you are most likely to have a bunion. This enlargement is actually a misalignment of your big toe joint, which can have additional bone formation in some cases. Such misalignment makes your big toe to point outward going to your small toes. Bunion, or medically termed as hallux valgus, is a progressive condition that worsens over time. There is a less common bunion called bunionette or tailor's bunion, which is…

Osteoarthritis is a worldwide chronic condition that has impacted the lives on many people today, causing pain, deformity, and difficulty with daily physical tasks. This chronic condition is, “believed to have a genetic cause or predisposition, and is caused by wear and tear on a joint. The cartilage wears away and exposes the bone.” (Rosdahl and Kowalski, 2006, p.1235) This chronic condition generally targets individuals with obesity and it is most commonly found among women. The…

during Fetal Development. During the fetal development the first stage of the “bones” is cartilage which resembles bones but is more flexible due to the lack of calcium salts as it develops calcium salts are deposit into it all through until after it is born to life. As a result, the process of gradual replacement of immature bone cells and calcium deposits is called Ossification. 2. What are the roles of Osteoclasts in bone formation? The roles of Osteoclasts in bone formation are as follows,…

○ Headache. ○ Dizziness. • Back or neck pain with numbness or weakness, especially if you have bone metastasis in your spine. • High levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia). When bone is destroyed, calcium is released in your blood. Symptoms of hypercalcemia include: ○ Constipation. ○ Thirst. ○ Nausea. ○ Sleepiness. DIAGNOSIS This condition may be diagnosed based on: • Your symptoms and medical history…

Parathyroid gland disorders is an endocrine disorder, and your endocrine system is the one that handles the hormone levels in your body. This disorder has an impact in the level of calcium that is found within your body, and it can either be too high or too low. Your bones aren’t the only part of your body that requires calcium…

The thesis I have chosen to write about on a commonly held misconception is that cracking your knuckles will give you arthritis. I feel that everyone has, at some point in their lives heard the phrase “cracking your joints will give you arthritis”, even now that this misconception has been proven false many people still say this or believe it. Joint cracking can arise from the negative pressure pulling nitrogen gas into the joint, the sound can also arise from tendons snapping over tissues due…
