Osteoblast

As basketball is a weight-bearing activity, the forces placed on bones through the actions of running and jumping stimulate the osteoblast cells to increase their rate of production of new bone matrix. As a result, both bone density and bone mass increase, particularly in the bones of legs, pelvis, and spine. Addition forces are placed on the bones of the shoulders and arm through…

The Endocrine System controls bodily functions that tend to occur over a long time. Taking a similar role to the nervous system to keep the body in a state of homeostasis. Through the use of a negative feedback loop the Endocrine system insures the proper amount of hormone is in the body at any given time. These hormones serve functions from growth to balancing ion levels in the body. The Endocrine system is specifically down to the hormone meant for homeostasis. The Endocrine System is…

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…

ALP is used to remove acidic phosphates, it also creates a pH (Wilson, et al 2015). Many enzymes such as elevated ALP can be used to detect cancers and diseases including jaundice. Bone ALP is an isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase manufactured by osteoblast cells which engage in bone formation (Zhan et al, 2016). The colorless substrate, paranitrophenol-phosphate (pNPP) is used in the experiment. When phosphates from ALP are hydrolyzed, paranitrophenol (pNP), a yellow compound, is produced and a…

The Skeletal System is basically the skeleton that helps support your entire body. In the skeletal system, however, there is more than one form of skeleton: the external exoskeleton of arthropods and the internal endoskeleton of vertebrates. The skeleton itself has 206 bones in the adult human body. The skeleton has two forms: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton supports the center axis of the body and consists of the skull, vertebral column, and the rib cage…

The human skeleton system is a highly dynamic organ made up of a total of 213 bones in adults . It is formed by a mineralized connective tissue and comprises two mainly cellular types: osteoblast-lineage cells, and osteoclast-lineage cells. The skeletal system exerts fundamental functions in the body, such as supporting and providing mechanical protection to soft tissues; storing several minerals (mainly calcium and phosphate), and releasing them in the blood stream when required; harboring the…

Ecological Effects of Chagas Disease and The Triatominae reduviidae By Billy John Muro For Mr. Jose Maldonado Biol 1307 December 6, 2016 Abstract America Trypanosomiasis most commonly known as Chagas disease (ChD) is caused by a protozoan parasite known as Trypanosoma cruzi. This disease affects 7 to 8 million people worldwide. Current treatments such as benznidazole and nifurtimox are partially effective and cause severe side effects, for this reason there is an urgent need to…

the cavity. The sponge absorbs the blood and helps to retain the clot formed. This helps in bone healing and regeneration of bone. In the third Group C of 7 patients autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) was used to fill the cavity. Patient’s third molar tooth is extracted and sent to tooth bank to get it grinded in granule form of 400- 800µm. Sterilization of the material is done. After enucleation and curettage this granular form AutoBT is filled in the cavity and then gingival flap is…

Today I will be talking about the human muscles and skeleton. The human muscles is a very interesting topic because of the ways the muscles control your body is amazing, the skeleton is also good but it’s scary as well because in one move and you can break a bone and it is extremely painful. I hope you enjoy reading my essay and hopefully I am able to provide you with information about your body that you didn’t know about. The human skeleton is a very interesting part of your body. It serves…

neighboring an oval, dotted nucleus having 1 or 2 nucleoli. The next class of connective tissue system is chondroblast, which is an immature cell consists of a cell growing cartilage tissue. Then, the osteoblast states as a cell in which the mature bone cell is developed. It derives from fibroblast as osteoblast forming into a mature state; it will associate with the production of bone. The last class of connective tissue is hemocytoblast defines as the development of any type of blood during…
