Ligament

There have been many injuries that I have had to overcome.I dislocated my shoulder, then I tore my A.C.L,and then I broke my leg. My injuries have caused me to work through setbacks. They also taught me that every year is a new year and to learn from my mistakes. The last thing they taught me is to make the best out of every situation. My very first injury happened the week of my birthday. I was playing a basketball game and went for a jump ball. When I was on the ground fighting for the ball…

Rosemarie Ingleton doesn’t necessarily advice the oral intake of collagen because it can be deposited to other areas of the body. Collagen does not only exist in skin because it is also an essential component of other connective tissues such as bones, ligaments, blood vessels and the eyes (Wardlaw p476). Another advice of Dr. Ingleton is that if people want to improve their skin they should buy topical collagen and apply it directly where they need it. At the very end of the video, another…

The cavity is termed the cervical canal. It is a spindle-shaped and communicates with the cavity of the body through the internal os, and with that of the vagina, through the external os. The endocervix is the mucous membrane lining the cervix. The cells of the cervical lining secrete mucus to provide a lubricated surface…

What this is, is “a tear or rupture of the ligamentous tissue or outer portion of the disc allowing the inner gel like material to escape the confines of the ligament. This can be a complete or incomplete process meaning: incomplete tears could allow for a bulge whereas a complete rupture of the ligament allows for the gel like substance or nucleus pulposus to exit the disc. Both conditions can create pressure on the corresponding spinal nerves or even on the spinal cord which leads…

Up until that point, I had no career goals, no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and the only thing I knew is that I had a passion for anatomy.…

improve skin texture. At Youth Reflections, micro-needling is performed along with platelet-rich plasma injections. It is called the RENEW procedure. PRP injections have been used in medicine for a long time in order to repair joint, tendon and ligament damage and accelerate wound healing. When platelet-rich plasma is placed back into the skin via microneedling, it stimulates a stem cell response. This response stimulates the production of fibroblasts. The fibroblasts replace cells that have…
