There is another type of dense fibrous connective tissue called aponeurosis. Its tendon like and helps anchor and move muscles. The structure is similar to tendons and ligaments, there are bundles of collagenous fibers with lots of fibroblasts (“Aponeurosis”, 2015). The fibers run in several directions. In the knee joint the interosseous membrane of the leg is an aponeurosis that creates a space for the vessels to run through. Specialized connective tissue consists of bone, cartilage, blood and

Bone Mineral Density – Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterised by a low bone mineral density (BMD) and deterioration of bone tissue and strength. This in turn increases bone fragility and its susceptibility to fracture and other injuries. Bone remodelling is the process of continuous bone reabsorption and rebuilding; however, osteoporosis occurs when there is not enough bone formation and/or an excessive amount of bone reabsorption

Ethics Case Study An eight month old girl arrives at an emergency room in which it was discovered that the child had bilateral fractures on her femur. The hospital determined that there was no child abuse present by having a conversation with the mother. They did not base this decision on anything other than the conversation with the mother. The mother informed them that the child complained about the condition after daycare and from this the hospital staff concluded that the child was not being

How you ever thought about how we run, walk, and talk? The organ systems in our bodies are vital for our body to function. These systems work with each other in order to carry out functions that we need. You may wonder how these systems made up of? It’s like climbing down a ladder. First, you have an organism or in this case the human and the humans are made up of organ systems that are made up of organs, tissues, and cells. The skeletal system generates a framework for the body while the muscular

The knee joint consists of three articulations: in the front is paltellofemoral articulation and other two articulations are between condyles of femur and tibia 1,3. When the knee is in full extension, rotation is impossible because the ligaments are tight. They will relax when the knee is flexed over 20 degrees and it will allow rotation 1,3. The main elements for knee stability are tendons and ligaments. Fibrous connective tissue forms a knee capsule, which is padded by a synovial membrane. Suprapatellar

Life is challenging; it has ups and downs and curveballs. Sometimes we get tired of working when nothing seems to get better. When faced with a challenge, we have one option: go for it. We can’t control whether we will succeed, but we definitely won’t make it if we don’t try or if we quit. Many people don’t have the grit to keep trying in the face of failure. When I was in the fifth grade, I signed up for a program called The Girls on the Run. We had to run a 5K race. That meant running

The Hero’s Journey What is the true definition of a hero? Well it’s definitely not always as great as stopping a bomb, or stopping a psychotic villain, it can simply be finishing chores.. I myself can be described as a hero, because I moved, overcame my shyness, and now got many great friends and I don’t live in a sketchy area anymore. See, the story doesn’t necessarily need to be as great as Batman stopping the Joker, it simply has to be defeating a conflict. My (Great Great) Aunt Ferol has always

people in the UK and almost a quarter of doctor’s visits regard this illness. Osteoporosis causes disproportionate bone loss and inadequate bone replacement. The bone loss causes weakness, so osteoporosis often causes fractures in the vertebral column, femur and radius. Osteoporosis is more common in women, with one in three women developing it in their lifetimes. The proportion of men who develop osteoporosis is much lower, with only one in ten who are sufferers. Osteoporosis based fractures are more

I want to be a physician, so I plan to be pre-med in college, and then I will either go straight into medical school or enter an MD/PhD program. I am applying for the Chris Hoffmann Memorial Scholarship to help reduce the amount of debt I will acquire throughout these years of higher education. Helping people gives me purpose, so I will devote the rest of my life to helping people by becoming a physician, volunteering, and doing anything I can. I try to incorporate helping people into every facet
