Osseous tissue

Osseous tissue provides essential functions in the body. It protects our vital organs and the bone marrow within this tissue provides our bodies with blood cell production needed to support our other internal organs. Ligaments connect our bones together by joints to allow for our bodies flexibility. In essence, if we didn't have bones, we wouldn't have the proper blood cell production to support our other organs. Without bones we wouldn't have the proper protection against damage to our internal

The trabecular bone is a form of osseous tissue that is found in the proximal and distal ends of long bones, along with the bones of the skull, pelvis, ribs and the vertebral bodies. The trabecular bone undergoes remodeling every two to eight months in order to accommodate the load of physiological stress and mechanical forces on the bone (Huiskes et al. 2000). Bone remodeling is the reshaping or replacement of bone during growth and following injuries such as fractures, but it also occurs in cases

periosteum is located on the outside 5. Most connective tissue, including bone, is highly vascular. Which anatomical structures in Mrs. Morgan’s compact bone house blood vessels? What sign or symptom in Mrs. Morgan’s case is directly related to disruption of these structures by her bone fractures? How is the sign or symptom related to these anatomical structures? 
 The Haversian system houses the blood vessels in Mrs. Morgan’s compact bone. The bone tissue sticking out the skin, the bruising and the extensive

in which provides protection for the remaining sections of the bone. Additionally, I was able to incorporate a representation of compact bone into the model; the unforgiving nature of this tissue greatly aided in supporting the substantial weight. A key component within my model was that of compact bone tissue, due to it’s distinct and useful properties. The outstanding strength and rigidity of this structure allowed for the successful placement of heavier objects in a direct manner, as well as providing

used to analyze trabecular bone at the microscopic and macroscopic level as well as the elastic properties and strength. From the background provided on trabecular bone biology and tissue properties, the major highlights included: cell populations, mechanosensation, mechanotransduction, tissue composition, and tissue elastic properties. In the cellular matrix of trabecular bone, three main multicellular units, osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes, exist. Osteoclasts function in bone resorption

The structure in the middle was identified as an osteon with a Haversian canal in the middle of it. An osteon is a series of concentric layers of compact bone tissue, or lamellae, in the very center is the Haversian canal. The canal contains a sequence of tubes that let nerves and blood vessels travel through the bone. The human tooth was observed under a Wild M32 Heerburg with transmitted light and magnification

Today, there is an enormous amount of understanding of the anatomy of bone formation than it was available to Duhamel du Monceau and John Hunter when they made the then prolific theories of bone growth anatomy. Duhamel proved, in 1742, that the bone is first formed in the periosteum and grows in superposing layers. Hunter, through his experiments showed that bone grows in length by juxtaposing layers and the medullary cavity (Trabecular bone) grows by resorption of inner layers of bone. He also showed

The researchers obtained 36 female rats that were 5 weeks old. These mice were randomly divided into three diet groups, low sodium (LS), normal sodium (NS) and high sodium (HS). The rats were weighed on a weekly basis for a total of 60 days. By weighing the rats on a weekly basis, the researchers were able to determine that there was no significant difference in weight between the three dietary groups, (figure 1). The main conclusion that one can get from this data is that sodium does not have

Task 1 – Bones and Connective Tissue 1.1 Explain the structure and composition of bone tissue A long bone is composed of 6 main parts. The diaphysis, epiphyses, metaphyses, articular cartliage, the periosteum and medullary cavity. (Tortora and Derrickson, 2011). The epiphyses are the proximal and distal ends of a bone that consists mainly of spongy bone. (Tortora and Derrickson, 2011). Originally the epiphyses are separated from the diaphysis by a layer of cartilage that later fuses together

Determining the stature of an individual is a very mathematical process. Height correlates with long bone length (Alcantara) so bioarchaeologists have devised multiple formulas that help estimate the stature of an individual within 5 centimeters of the actual height ("Forensic Anthropology"). Before a bioarchaeologist can use the formula, he or she must measure the length of the long bones. The osteometric board is used to determine this. The long bone is placed on the board with one side touching
