Osteoporosis is a condition in which the rate of new bone made does not match the levels of bone being broken down. The condition is caused by a range of factors in which effects the levels of new bones made. There are a range of factors that cause Osteoporosis, these are Estrogen: If the level of estrogen drops then bone loss accelerates and can lead to Osteoporosis. Having both ovaries removed in a process known as bilateral oophorectomy, results in low bone density. In the case of males,…

The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass and metabolic capacity is extremely important for human health and quality of life (Wolfe RR 2006). Skeletal muscle has distinct metabolic and contractile properties that can be influenced by nutrients uptake, microenvironment, and contractile activity. Plasticity and heterogeneity have also been shown to be hallmarks of skeletal muscle as shown by muscle morphology, fiber type, and oxidative capacity. Age, disuse, fasting and various degenerative diseases…

In its most recent season, Grey’s Anatomy presented an episode in which a married couple, joyfully expecting a child, discovers that their baby has a condition known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) type II. OI is a congenital condition also known as the brittle bone disease, and as the name says it all, it means that the bones of the body experience severe fractures. Due to the severity of the fractures, fetuses diagnosed with OI type II die within a matter of weeks due to cardiac and…

 Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition of skeletal fragility due to progressive loss of bone mass. Losing bone is a normal part of the ageing process, but some people lose bone density much faster than normal. This can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. It occurs in elderly people of both sexes but is most pronounced in postmenopausal women, they lose bone rapidly in the first few years after the menopause (when monthly periods stop and the ovaries…

Body is the outer part of the car. It is consist of chassis and coachwork. Chassis is the structure of the car. It is like a skeleton. The other component of the car mounted the chassis. Coachwork is generally produced by sheet and, protected the car’s other component. Designing of the body is significant. Sports car companies attach importance to body design. The remarkable things are while designing the body; used materials, stiffness weigh of the body and, aerodynamic design.Lamborghini is…

Frozen shoulder is a clinical syndrome of pain and severely decreased joint motion caused by thick-ening and contraction of the joint capsule. The peak incidence is between middle aged people. In Ayurved, the symptoms, etiopathogenesis resembles with Avabahuka. It is a disease characterized by morbid vata dosha localizing around the shoulder joint and thereby causing loss or dryness of shleshaka kapha as well as constricts the siras at this site leads to loss of movements of the arm. Ayurvedic…

femur, patella, tibia and fibula work alongside the pelvis and vertebral column to hold the body up. Protection: The cranium protects the brain, while the ribs protect many of the vital organs such as the heart and lungs. Attachment for skeletal muscle: Skeletal muscle helps move the body for voluntary and automatic movements. For example, to stand up, hold your head up and to breathe. Source of blood cell production: Red blood cells transport oxygen around the body to working muscles and…

Introduction: The dental pulp is a loose connective tissue that is found in the center of the tooth. Its primary function is the formation and support of the dentine that surrounds it (Solómon, 2015). The pulp has the unique reparative capacity where it can cause the differentiation of new odontoblasts and in turn lay down dentine. The pulp can be damaged and this leads to the need for treatment. It can be damaged due to trauma either directly or from restorative procedures, an open restoration…

Although the skeleton is one whole system, it’s split up into two parts. These can be identified as the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. Axial Skeleton The axial part of the skeleton is the vertical, central section of the skeleton which includes the skull (cranium), the vertebral column and the rib cage. The axial skeleton is the supporting structure of the skeleton. It provides support and protection for the brain, the spinal cord and many of the organs within the human body. It…

DISCUSSION Various studies all over the world have been conducted on the estimation of stature from the human skeleton by applying variable methods for the estimation but the easiest and the most reliable method is by regression analysis. In the present study the correlation of body height with both foot lengths and knee height along with a consideration of the age factor varying between 19years to 54 years. The right foot length from 20.7cms to 29.6 cms and the left foot length from 20.5 cms to…
