    As a young man, I have had many collisions in life. Whether it was from sports or from an auto accident, I have been very lucky to not receive any broken bones. When I was in a serious automobile accident last year and walked away unharmed, I wondered how my body was able to withstand all that force, while my car was half its size. I learned that the bone is a very strong material that makes me function. My bones form a skeleton that provide the framework of my body. There are long, short, flat,...
  • Prevent Osteoporosis
    649 words
    Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a significant health problem that affects more than 25 million women in the United States and potentially 200 million worldwide. This disease is characterized by diminishing the structure of the skeleton (particular the " spongy' bone). This results in an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis develops silently over a period of years, eventually progressing to a point where a fracture can easily occur causing pain and disability. This disease is characterized by lo...
  • Vitamin D And Calcium

Forty-four million Americans suffer from osteoporosis; sixty-eight percent of that number are women. A couple risk...
  • Stem Cells From Cord Blood Transplants
    668 words
    After a typical delivery the umbilical cord and the blood within it is discarded. Now researchers have discovered that this blood contains valuable stem cells which can be used in the treatment of several blood disorders. Stem cells are simply undeveloped cells that develop into platelets or red and white blood cells. Stem cells will continue to produce blood cells for an indefinite period of time after transplantation. Until the discovery of stem cells in umbilical cord blood and placentas, bon...

It is the activator of the stirrup that sends vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The largest muscle is the latissimus dorsi. This muscle is the flat est muscle of the back that moves during arm movement. The deltoid muscle is a triangular shaped muscle of the shoulder that forms the rounded flesh of the out...
  • Stop Bone Loss
    508 words
    Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a health ailment which causes bones to become so porous that they can break easily. Osteoporosis literally means 'porous bones'. The bones in our skeleton are made of a thick outer shell and a strong inner mesh filled with collagen [protein], calcium salts and other minerals. The inside looks like honeycomb, with blood vessels and bone marrow in the spaces between bone. Osteoporosis occurs when the holes between bone become bigger, making it fragile and liable to bre...
  • Broken Ends Of The Bone

    Injury report: Open fracture of the Radius. A triathlon involves swimming, running and then biking a set track. A triathlete fell from his bike during training, due to the wet road. He landed awkwardly on his bike. His Radius was broken because he landed with his arm on the handle bars of the bike. The force at which he landed on the handle bars caused his Radius to break and pierce the skin. A cracked bone is called a fracture. Fractures are most likely to occur in the limb bones. (Radius and U...
  • Mass Density Of Bone

The system consists of Bone a highly sp...
  • Bones In The Joint Move
    720 words
    Intro - slide 1 - acetate 1 The skeleton of a human foetus is formed from tough but flexible cartilage that acts as a blueprint for bone construction. During ossification (the changing of cartilage to bone) which begins before birth, the cartilage is broken down and the resulting space is filled by bone building mineral salts and protein fibres secreted by bone cells. Humans have a bony endoskeleton made up of 206 bones, although we are born with up to 300, but many of these fuse during childhoo...
  • Rate Of Increase In Bone Mineral Density
    672 words
    Calcium Supplementation and Increases in Bone Mineral Density in Children Scientists have found that peak bone mass in childhood is a major cause of bone mineral density in adulthood and may decrease the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporotic fractures are those caused by a disease (Osteoporosis) which causes bones to be extremely porous. There are however other factors, such as Genetic and Environmental, that play a major role in determining peak bone mass. Studies done have implied that ...

    Why Do We Yawn The definition of yawning is to open the mouth involuntarily with a prolonged, deep inhalation of air. Yawning is a normal response to fatigue and drowsiness, but excessive yawning can be caused by a vaso vagal reaction and may indicate a heart problem. Normal yawning may be induced to cleanse the brain. At the deepest part of the breath when the lungs have the greatest force, the lungs fill up the ribcage, then lift the ribs. The ribs lift the spine and the force is transferred f...

  • Bones And Skeletal Muscles

    Muscle is almost half the body's weight. Muscles are the part of our body that allows us to move. They are attached to the bone by tendons and other tissues. When the muscles contract, they pull on the tendons that pull on the bones and cause our limbs to move. There are more than 640 muscles, and they hardly ever work alone. Muscles can get shorter and pull, but they cannot push. The way they work is as a team. They pull the body part one way, then the other part pulls it back again; therefore,...
