By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Calcifying Disorders: An Overview Any build up of calcium in body tissue where calcium is usually not found may be considered as calcification. Calcium is predominantly found in our bones and teeth and uses the bloodstream as a means of travelling to these physiological locations. A very small amount of calcium, approximately one percent, is found elsewhere in the body including muscles and the blood itself. When calcium salts are abnormally deposited in unusual…

What is Clubfoot? Clubfoot is tissue connected to the bone that is shorter than usual, it’s a common birth defect that doctors recommend be treated after birth. About half of children have it in both feet, which makes It harder to walk normal. Surgery isn’t a must but they may need it later on down the road. Boys are more likely to be born with clubfoot rather than girls.…

The annulus is the outer portion of the disc that surrounds the nucleus. It is made up of 15 to 25 collagen sheets which are called the 'lamellae'. The lamellae are 'glued' together with a proteoglycans. These sheets encircle the disc and, in concert with the nucleus, give the disc tremendous axial load strength. The posterior portion of the annulus if further strengthened by the 'posterior longitudinal ligament'. This structure is the final barrier between the disc and the delicate spinal…

1-3 months are used, depending on the course) and the rest in the neck is advisable. In exceptional cases where the spinal cord decompression from the front or by laminectomy may be required and thereafter it may be advisable to merge narrowed by bone graft surgery the segments concerned spine. physiotherapy Once the collar is diagnosed the problem, the…

their lives. My life has changed in the past two years and I have been struggling with a knee problem called Osteochondritis Dissecans, or OCD for short. Osteochondritis Dissecans is a condition where the bone underneath your cartilage dies due to a lack of blood supply. This can cause the bone to crack and loosen and sometimes even completely disconnect from the joint. Not only has OCD taken me out of all my extracurricular activities such as, hockey and soccer, it has also taken a huge toll on…

I chose to write about melorheostosis. This disorder usually affects the arms and legs and is normally only on one side of the body. The common symptom of melorheostosis is irregular bone growth such as thickening and widening of the bones. Since it only effects on side of the body, this causes the limbs to be uneven in length. Other symptoms can include pain, swelling, stiffness, unable to use full range of motion, swelling of the joints and abnormal muscles. The exact cause of melorheostosis…

blood cells contain oxygen which is converted into ATP during cellular respiration. The ATP is needed to perform daily tasks like walking. The skeletal system supports the striated muscle which allows movement to occur. The striated muscle connects the bone and muscle together. The skeletal system relies on the muscular system for calculated movement. For example, the axial skeleton needs muscle to allow movement. 2. Digestive System and Excretory System The digestive system depends on the…

and smooth. Skeletal muscle is the most common of the three, since it’s connected to bone all throughout our bodies. It’s also often considered to be under voluntary control, through nerve signals. "(Skeletal Muscle | Anatomy). A group of muscle fascicles, or muscle cells, are surrounded by a type of connective tissue called epimysium. The muscles are attached to tendons, and those tendons are then attached to bone. Within muscle fascicles, there are groups of muscle fibers. The type of…

Osteosarcoma (osteogenic sarcoma) is very rare bone cancer that begins in the cells that form bones. It most often occurs in the long bones that are in arms and legs. The bones that are infected are immature and have a weaker bone matrix than normal bones, and tumors grow on the infected area. There are 800 new U.S. cases per year, 400 of which are diagnosed in teenagers. The main symptoms of osteosarcoma include bone pain in a certain area, swelling, bone tissue formation, and limping.…
