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…

Osteoarthritis Definition of osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis occurs when the loss of protective cartilage that covers the ends of the cones causes cones to rub together during movement, producing pain (ARC Nursing Assistant Training, 2013, p276 Box 16-1). It is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people across the world. While it can affect any bone in the body, it is most commonly found in the joints of your hands, knees, hips, and spine. Although there is no know…

body, synovial membranes, joints, cartilage, tendons, 4 ligaments, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial cruciate ligament (MCL) and the lateral cruciate ligament (LCL). There are also sac like pouches called menisci which are like Dr. Scholls for the knee. Over time the joints and cartilage in the knee will start to wear down due to osteoarthritis (hopkinsmedicine.org, nd). While the break down is occurring of the cartilage and joints, the femur and…

consists of a joint capsule, a joint cavity and a layer of cartilage over the ends of two joining bones. These joints are lined with synovial fluid. The articular cartilage over the joint ends absorbs jolts as it acts like elastic and it also provides a smooth surface for the joints to move frictionlessly. This fluid also helps in lubricating and protecting the bones. Cartilage is softer and much more flexible than a bone. The major role of cartilage is to form a model for later growth of the…

vertebral column and thoracic cage. Additionally, the appendicular skeleton consists of one hundred and twenty six bones that are part of the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, upper and lower limbs. Bones are connected to joints, ligaments, tendons and cartilage, which makes up the human skeletal system. The skeletal system has three major functions, which include, support, protection, and movement. Although all adults contain the same amount of bones in the body, males and females have a slight…

maintain its purpose. We need our knees to support our body weight, have the ability to perform a squat and even something as simple as walking (Sanville, Nicholson, & Driscoll, 1994). The main parts of the knee are bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilages, and a joint capsule. All of these parts of the knee are made of collagen, which is fibrous tissue and continues to break down as the body goes through the aging process (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013). Since the knee bears so much weight and does not…

Stingrays has been around for more than a 100 millions years. Stingrays have a many unique features like there skeleton, it has cartilages instead of bone. However thats not what so dangerous they have a very venomous tail. They fire their tail forward with alot of force and will release the poison when pierces the skin. There eyes are right on top of their body but they don't use them for hunting prey. They don't eat so very much and they eat anything living and small. They are very lazy and…

Analyze the bone remodeling process and the minerals involved in that process. Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found. Condyle- it is a large rounded prominence fitting into a fossa. This type of bone marking is a process that forms joints forming i.e. the medial condyle of the femur (Mid Lands Tech, 2016). Crest- it is slightly risen with protruded ridges. This type of bone marking is a process to attach…

palatine tonsil embedded on each lateral mucosal wall. The tongue itself has a lymphoid tonsil on its posterior surface- the lingual tonsil. The laryngopharynx extends from the superior border of the epiglottis to the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage, where it becomes continuous with the esophagus. Its anterior portion has the inlet of the larynx and the…

system trying to heal the joints there can be a loss in red blood cells and slight fevers this can cause joint deformation if not treated. Some forms of arthritis are caused by loss in cartilage in your joint. Cartilage is the tissue near your joint that supports the shock on your joints when they move. Without cartilage your joint gets injured and eventually becomes deformed if not…
