Temporal bone

The skeletal system is essential to the working of the human body. It provides protection and aids with movement, also. Approximately 20% of the human body’s mass is attributed to the skeletal system. This system is mostly comprised of bones, but there are other critical elements included as well. These elements are ligaments and cartilage. The human skeletal system is divided into two parts; the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton is further divided, from superior to inferior…

each individual the basic shape, structure and support. Without the skeletal system the body would just be a blob. It is the foundation for movement because the muscles lie within the surface of the bones. The human skeletal system is a major factor of the body’s mechanism. It’s much more than just the bones and structure, it entails the formation of blood and protection of organs. For example the ribs protect all the vital organs located on the axial region of the body. Overall, the major…

any traumatic injury. Bones provide framework that supports and keeps the body from collapsing. It is the major supporting structure of the body. The bone is classified by their shape or structure as cortical bones are dense and compact and cancellous is spongy. Cortical bones are dense and rigid bones. Its functions are to provide support and stability of the body and to bare body weight. Cancellous bones are also called spongy bones due to its shapes and it is a weak bone. It is found at the…

Clinical Presentation of Paget's disease of bone Symptoms of Paget's disease Paget's disease often has no symptoms and many people don't know they have the condition. The most common symptom is bone pain, but may include joint pain and signs of a nerve being compressed or damaged. Bone pain Bone pain caused by Paget's disease has been described as a constant, dull pain deep within the affected part of the body. The pain is usually worse at night when the patients are lying down. The affected…

Research Paper: Osteogenesis Imperfecta What is Osteogenesis Imperfecta? Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic brittle bone disorder. The disorder is characterized by bones that easily break, due to little or no apparent cause. A classification system of several different types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta is used to diagnose just how severely a person with Osteogenesis Imperfecta is affected. The severity of Osteogenesis Imperfecta varies from case to case, even among cases of the same type of OI…

Bone Types Long Bones: Long bones are dense, hard bones that provide strength stability and mobility. For example the femur is a long bone. A long bone has two ends and a shaft. In the finger some bones are long bones, due to the shape of the bones despite them being short. http://umm.edu/health/medical/ency/articles/long-bones Short Bones: Short bones are as long as they are wide. They’re function of them is to provide stability and little movement. http://www.teachpe.com/anatomy/types_of_bones…

Middle/ Thoracic Spine The thoracic spine joins the cervical spine and extends down past the bottom of the shoulder blades, where it connects with the lumbar spine. The thoracic spine made up of twelve vertebrae, labelled T1-T12 is built for stability, holding the body upright and providing protection for the vital organs in the chest. The most common cause of thoracic back pain is due to muscular irritation or other soft tissue problems, caused by lack of strength, poor posture, prolonged…

liver is bone. Most of of these metastases are caused by breast or prostate carcinoma. Majority of patients with metastatic conditions develop bone metastases that further leads to a pronounced morbidity and mortality as a result of skeletal-related events (SREs) which generally include hypercalcemia due to malignancy, pathological fractures etc and thus involves the requirement for a surgical intervention or radiation treatment in bone . Reports are published for early occurrence of Bone…

the bone that is located at the ends of every long bone, near the epiphysis. It’s made of cartilage and it is where the length of the bone increases. Growth plate injuries only are relevant to young ages because when an adolescent's bone stops growing the growth plate hardens and becomes part of the bone itself. When a growth plate it damaged before ossifying, it may cause problems in the child’s growth of that specific bone. Growth plate injuries can happen the same way as any other bone…

six bones, plus it is important because it protects our organs. It starts from your skull and it ends at your phalanges. It also helps to move around an support an individual. The skeletal system develops from having up to two hundred and seventy bones when an infant to having two hundred and six bones when an adult.(Zimmermann, 2015) Females and males tend to have different skeletal systems, since women give birth they need a flatter and larger pelvis so the baby has space to come out. Bones…
