Cartilage

Sharks don’t fossilize well because they’re from the class of chondrichthyes meaning their skeletons are made of cartilage, a flexible connective tissue. This is one of the reasons why there is a disagreement over when the first shark first existed. However, shark teeth do fossilize well and sharks produce thousands of teeth in a lifetime. The oldest shark teeth date back to the Devonian Period about 400 million years ago and were found in Europe. Shark scales also fossilize well.…

Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is produced naturally in humans to make cartilage, the tissue that cushions the joints. In normal joints, cartilage provides a protective jacket that covers the end of each bone which in return provides a smooth, gliding surface for joint motion and acts as a buffer between the bones. When the surface layer of cartilage between the bone of a joint is worn down you more than likely will be diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is also known as…

Trigonometry in Medicine Orthopedics is a field in medicine that deals with the musculoskeletal system. If a person is having trouble with their skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, or other connective tissue, they look to an orthopedic surgeon for help. Math is a large part of a orthopedic surgeon's career. This paper will uncover how orthopedic surgeon’s use math in their career. Profession: Orthopedic Surgeon What Orthopedic Surgeons Do and Type of Education: The main…

air, urine may turn black or a dark brown and signs of early-onset osteoarthritis may begin to show. Some people may not know of the condition by the age of 40. Other symptoms include: dark spots in the whites of the eyes, thickened and darkened cartilage of the ears, blue speckled discoloration of the skin, particularly around sweat glands, dark-colored sweat or sweat stains, black earwax, kidney stones and prostate stones, and arthritis (especially hip and knee…

3D printing is a mechanical process where solid objects are created by ‘printing’ successive layers of material to replicate a shape modeled in a computer has been adopted in numerous industries. Many people can benefit from this kind of technology such as wounded warriors that may have lost limbs in combat, or even those that have dysfunctional organs and could use a new organ. The creator of 3D printing, Charles Hull, on August 8th 1984 filed for a patent on his photo solidification apparatus.…

for rhinoplasty include repair of a deviated septum. Cosmetic reasons include removal of a bump in the nose, making the nostrils smaller or larger, making the nose more narrow, making the nose shorter, changing the tip of the nose or reshaping the cartilage. Rhinoplasty can also make the nose larger if that is desired, by using implants. Once your plastic nose job surgery is complete you will have some recovery time; swelling, bruising, and some bleeding are not uncommon. Be sure to implicitly…

Including cartilage wearing and bone loss, other areas such as, kidney disease, enlarged lymph nodes, tonsillitis, and pneumonia can all occur in congruence to one other. In dogs, they quickly become very lame, “…lameness shifts from leg to leg…”(What are the sign of…

Some destructive diseases of the foot could be osteoporosis, condition that causes the bone to become fragile (Osteoporosis, 2014), and degenerative arthritis, breaks down the cartilage in the joints. The two types of charts I am going to produce are fixed and variable kVp. In a fixed kVp system, kVp is held constant. The mAs is varied to achieve the appropriate IR exposure. There are many benefits to a fixed kVp chart. They decrease…

invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. Several main types of cancer include carcinoma (cancer that begins in the skin/tissues that line internal organs), sarcoma (bone, cartilage, fat, muscles, blood vessels, and other connective tissues), Leukemia (blood-forming tissues like the bone marrow), lymphoma and multiple myeloma (cells of the immune system) and central nervous system cancer (tissues of the brain and spinal…

flexibility and the ability of the spine to compensate for extra pressure or injury. Degenerative disc disease can be far more serious in some than in others. Severe cases typically result from a deficiency in collagen, the material that makes up cartilage. It can be aggravated by poor muscle tone, poor posture, and even obesity all which put excessive strain on the spine and the ligaments that hold the discs in…
