composition of bone mostly consist of inorganic material and collagen fibers. The macroscopic structures of bone is Compact bone‚ Cancellous bone‚ Epiphysis‚ Diaphysis‚ Periosteum‚ Red bone marrow‚ yellow bone marrow‚ and the articular cartilage (Doitpoms.com). Collagen is a triple helix structured protein that is the most prominent protein in the skeletal system. Bones consist of two distinct types of bone tissue such as cancellous and cortical bone. Cancellous bone is also known as spongy bone and is located

Cortical Bone Trajectory Screws for Middle Upper Thoracic: a Anatomico-Radiological Study Introduction Pedicle screw fixation system has been widely used in spinal surgery due to its biomechanical advantage in three-dimensional fixation and short-segment fixation. However‚ Complications such as screw loosening‚ pullout and broken‚ often lead to loss of surgical construct stability‚ particularly in patients with poor bone quality [1-4]. The cortical bone trajectory (CBT)[5] technique is a theoretical

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex‚ pose a significant health risk to the patient‚ or fail to heal properly.Bone generally has the ability to regenerate completely but requires a very small fracture space or some sort of scaffold to do so. Bone grafts may be autologous harvested from the patient’s own body‚ often from the allograft or synthetic with similar mechanical properties to bone. Most bone grafts

Bone Cancer Bone cancer is a disease that occurs on or inside a bone. Usually‚ bone cancer involves a tumor filled with abnormal cells that will occasionally appear on the exterior of the bone. Similar to other types of cancer‚ bone cancer can be life threatening. Doctors are not completely sure what causes cancer‚ but they continue the search to find an answer. There are five different types of bone cancer that can affect people from ages 10-60 years old. Bone cancer can occur in any bone in the

up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues‚ that is‚ they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells‚ the gelatin the support material for matrix‚ and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances‚ we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight

06/20/2013 “Body and Bones” The question for this assignment is what are the steps that the system goes through from childhood to adulthood to reach 206 bones? I don’t think there is an exact science on these steps really. When we are born we have about 270 bones in our body. These bones are soft and called cartilage. As we get older it gets hard and turns into bone. The bone in a baby’s body needs calcium which they get from their milk mainly for

There is a difference of opinion among canine experts as to whether bones should be given to a dog raw‚ cooked‚ hard‚ or soft‚ and even whether they should be given at all. On one point‚ however‚ there is total agreement‚ never give a dog splintering bones from chicken‚ pork‚ fowl‚ and rabbit‚ (although chicken bones that have been cooked in a pressure cooker until they are very soft can be quite nourishing and safe). A marrow bone is the traditional symbol of a treat for a dog‚ and he obviously appreciates

Describe each of these aspects? Cause of death- medical problem that leads to death. Mechanism of death- any weapon or instrument
