called picolinic acid‚ a product derived from amino acid tryptophan ‚ is said to stimulate bone formation rather than just stop bone destruction like other earlier medications. What effects does it have on the endocrine system? Osteoporosis does not have an effect on the endocrine system it’s self‚ but can normally occur to do other occurring endocrine disorders in the body due to abnormalities in growth hormones and various other disorders. What is the incidence? Worldwide‚ osteoporosis causes more

Present the detection and segmentation of bone fracture using Fuzzy-c Means and Multilevel wavelet algorithm. Bone Fracture detection has become a research area in the medical imaging system. Bone fracture detection helps in finding the fracture in the various body parts like hand‚ leg‚ and rib fracture etc. The system is consisting of four stages to detect and segment a fracture. An efficient algorithm is proposed for bone fracture based on thresholding and fuzzy C-Means segmentation and morphological

CHEMICAL SIGNALS MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS Endocrine System: a system of glands that secrete hormones to regulate body function Hormones: chemical messengers or regulators • they are released by cells in one part of the body and affect cells in other parts of the body to speed up or slow down processes. Endocrine Hormones – are produced in glands and secreted directly into the blood and distributed by the circulatory system. Makes hormones and regulates the pituitary gland Pineal gland (makes serotonin

Chapter 4 • Bone fufills two important mechanical functions 1. Provides framework that supports and protects other body tissues 2. Forms a system of rigid levers that can be moved by forces from attaching muscles • Major building blocks of bones 1. calcium carbonate- 60 to 70 percent of dry bone weight 2. Calcium phosphate- 60 to 70 percent of dry bone weight 3. Collagen 4. Water- 25 to 30 percent of bone weight • The building blocks gives

protection for the body as most of us may know. However‚ bones also function as a storage place for many essential life sustaining minerals. Calcium is the main mineral that bone is primarily composed of‚ and is very essential for other important body systems. When calcium levels are not adequate in the body from diet alone the body taps into the bones to get the calcium that cells organs nerves and muscles need. When the amounts of calcium are enough for the body‚ then bones can continue the remodeling

A synovial joint also known as diarthrosis‚ joins bones with a fibrous joint capsule. It is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones‚ constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity‚ and surrounds the bone articular capsule. The articular capsule keeps the bones together structurally‚ and an inner layer‚ the synovial membrane‚ which seals the synovial fluid. Synovial cavity all diarthroses have the characteristic spaces between the bones that is filled with synovial fluid. Joint capsule

Bone‚ in the human body‚ performs a number of mechanical and physiological functions‚ including mechanical support‚ movement and protection of vital organs. It is a complex tissue that undergoes constant repair and remodelling to its micro-architecture caused as a result of biomechanical forces imparting trauma and homeostatic insults. [1] The basic unit of bone is an osteon‚ which is made up of concentric lamellae of compact bone surrounded by a Haversian canal. There are two components to bone

What is Titanium? It is the 22nd element on the periodic table and labeled Ti. Titanium is strong‚ light‚ and rustproof which is what makes it so important and diverse. The original application for this metal was in the military aerospace industry specifically because of its efficiencies in structural qualities‚ a result of titanium’s strength and density. It has become the metal of choice for many different applications. According to Titanium Industries‚ Inc.‚ Titanium was actually first used
