Bone Marrow Bone marrow is soft, gelatinous tissue found in hollow spaces in the interior of most bones. It is highly vascular and enriched with many blood vessels and capillaries. The average weight of bone marrow is about four percent of the total body weight (Bone Marrow Anatomy). Bones that contain bone marrow are: the hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae, shoulder blade and thigh bone. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells. It is the place where new blood cells…

Osteosarcoma? Osteosarcoma is a type of cancer of the bones. It is the most common type of cancer in children and teens. This cancer begins most often in the wide ends of a long bone, or femur, tibia, upper, lower legs, humorous the upper arm, it can also spread to the lungs and skull. It is primary called bone cancer, and when it is spread to another site it is called secondary or metastatic bone cancer. There are several types of bone cancer which includes. Chondrosarcoma, cancer of the…

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is the part of the body that regulates most hormones. Some of these pituitary tumors produce excessive hormones, which regulate important body functions, while others restrict some of the normal functions of your pituitary gland, thus decreasing hormone production. Around 20% of the human race have pituitary tumors. A lot of these tumors do not cause symptoms and are never diagnosed during a person's…

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…

The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, in which are held together by a network of ligaments, tendons and cartilage that connect them together. Besides movement the skeleton also provides protection to vital organs such as our brain, our heart, lungs and abdominal organs. Although our skeleton provides us with such protection it is still prone to injury, wear and tear, infections, tumors and other conditions that can damage bone and become life threatening.…

the site of attachment of major muscle tendons to bone and are subjected primarily to tensile forces. (Physeal Injuries) Apophyses contribute to bone shape but not to longitudinal growth. (Physeal Injuries) Longitudinal growth, which occurs during childhood and adolescence, occurs at the growth plates where cartilage proliferates in the epiphyseal and metaphyseal areas of long bones, before undergoing mineralization to form primary bones. (Normal Bone) The growth plate is located between the…

attaches muscle to over the counter bone. it's miles flexible, hard and fibrous and it can withstand tension. A ligament extends from bone to bone at a joint, whileover the counter a tendon extends from muscle to bone. Tendons and muscle mass work over the counter and exert a pulling force. Tendons and ligaments are tough and fibrous, however over-the-countery may be called tender tissue, due to overover the counter overover the counter smooth compared with bone. If over-the-counter sheath…

physical and emotional sequelae. Maxillofacial trauma is a cause of grave concern due to the increasing road traffic accidents, violence and sports injury. The unique position of mandible on the face makes it one of the most commonly fractured facial bones. Mandibular Fractures are the most common fractures treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Fractures of mandible occur more commonly than any other fractures of facial skeleton. (1) Fractures through the mandible at the level of the…

Abstract A bone fracture is one of the most common large organ injuries to occur to humans and animals alike. When a bone is fractured, a unique and thorough regeneration of tissue takes place to repair it. There are two types of ways that a bone fracture can be repaired: direct bone healing is when the bones are intervened and set into place to allow for repair, indirect bone healing is allowing the fracture to heal naturally without any intervention from a third party. This paper will review…

hundred six bones that make up around fifteen percent of all body weight. They are vital for a body’s regular activities, so it can be very devastating when the bone is harmed from disease or injury. Many have suggested some factors that contribute to the harming of bone, but one of the most prevalent ones is caffeine. The purpose of this paper is to describe the anatomy of the human bone, discuss the health of bones, and show caffeine’s effect on the calcium in bones (“Bone Anatomy”). Bones…
