Skeletal system

FGFR3 works to maintain the structural integrity inside the connective tissue. ACH mainly affects the skeletal system, which is why people who inherit the mutated FGFR3 gene are smaller than the average person. ACH only affects two organs in the body which are the bone and cartilage. This affects the skeletal system because, it makes the cartilage unable to convert to bone tissue. People with ACH usually have short arms and legs. Without having ACH your cartilage…

It comprises approximately 80% of the total skeletal tissue mass and is most common in the long bone shafts, or diaphysis, of the body (limbs, appendicular skeleton) [7, 8]. Cortical bone is characterized by a slow turnover rate, with a high resistance to bending and torsion, providing a great compressive…

tissue that needs replacing as it dies of. Paget’s disease of bone is a condition that rapidly accelerates the process of bone regeneration which causes symptoms ranging from soft bones to abnormal bone growth. Paget’s disease can affect the skeletal system anywhere from the head down to the legs and anything in between. Abnormal bone growth on the skull often leads to headaches and even hearing loss; soft bone tissue…

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder that affects the skeletal system. The disorder affects the bones, it makes them fragile and easy to break. OI has many different types; type I one being the most common and mildest, and type II is the most severe. The first case of OI was found in a partially mummified infant's skeleton found from ancient Egypt. In 1835, Jean Lobstein made the term for osteogenesis imperfecta and was the first to correctly understand the causes of the disorder.…

-The Skeletal System 1. Explain how and when bone is remodeled. Include the cells and hormones involved in the process. • Bone remodeling is essentially a lifelong process. The mature bone tissue is removed and replaced the new bone tissue. This promotes healthy bones and can also reshape the bones from injuries like fractures. Osteoblasts secrete new bone tissue while osteoclasts break down the old bone tissues. The body signals the correct amount of growth through parathyroid and growth…

Objectives  The composition of bone  The structure of a long bone  Classifying the types of joint found in the body  Description of synovial joint  How joint operates  How two different systems communicate for normal functioning of a joint  Description of a disease involving the musculoskeletal system  A case study of a primary piece of research regarding the disease/condition  A conclusion and Recommendation  Diagrams The Composition Of Bone The bones are made up of several…

the human body. The mechanical properties of bone tissues must be considered as very hard and lightweight material. Mechanical behavior of bone can be explained using composite method. Bone tissues are structural and supportive tissues of the body system. It is actually made up of the composite material which is the calcium phosphate in termed of hydroxyapatite that give bone their rigidity…

Alexia Gillis Midterm Case Study 1. A hemorrhage is an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel. A fracture is any loss of continuity of bone. Proximal is situated close to or nearest the point or attachment or origin to the trunk of the body. Diaphysis is the shaft or central part of a long bone. 2. The humerus is a long bone located in the upper arm. It is classified as a long bone because the bone is longer than it is wide. The occipital bone is located on the posterior inferior part…

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is the gradual process in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue. They become less dense as tissue is lost and become weak and more prone to fractures. This may be due to a variety of factors and usually occurs during old age. Women are more susceptible to the development of osteoporosis. Women are more susceptible to developing osteoporosis, women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis in their lifetime. Causes: Low oestrogen in…

Analyze the bone remodeling process and the minerals involved in that process. Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found. Condyle- it is a large rounded prominence fitting into a fossa. This type of bone marking is a process that forms joints forming i.e. the medial condyle of the femur (Mid Lands Tech, 2016). Crest- it is slightly risen with protruded ridges. This type of bone marking is a process to attach…
