“Bones Never Lie” is a fictional novel written by Kathy Reichs. This novel focuses on two main characters - Dr. Temperance Brennan and Detective Andrew Ryan. The two are trying to solve a murder case just been linked to one thousands of miles away. They linked these two to the murder because both of the children had facial tissue under their fingernails, and it matched one another. The two bodies have lots of things in common, other than the facial tissue. For one, they were posed nicely, and had

European Journal of Physiology, focuses on the effects that weight training has on bone formation. Their target study group were young and mostly inactive women. The purpose of this article was to study and analyze if weight training had any effect on the hormones that affect bone growth in women. These hormones include estrogen, testosterone, parathyroid hormone, and growth hormone. All these hormones affect bone growth and are secreted using a negative feedback control system that is affected by

naturally based elements that can potentially replace and be integrated into the bone tissue, for medical purposes. These elements should be similar in characteristic and structure of the bone tissue, so that they can effectively replace the tissue and help stimulate bone growth and cellular growth, in order to maintain bone homeostasis. In order to achieve compatibility, factors such as 3-D polymeric structures within bone scaffolding, cellular composition and many other aspects should be considered

11/30/14 Osteoporosis is a devastating bone disease in which bones become porous and brittle and are more susceptible to fractures; according to Johnell O and Kanis JA (2006), “Worldwide, osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds.” Osteoporosis is the result of several factors including diet and lifestyle choices, age, disease and medications, but the underlying cause is due to bone loss occurring faster than the body can

and movement. Our bones form a tower of skeleton arrangement designed to keep humans standing upright and balanced. The skeleton is partitioned into the axial skeleton, which encompasses the “bones of the skull, the vertebral column, and the thoracic cage” (E.N. Marieb 2015). The second partitioning of the skeleton is the appendicular skeleton (E.N. Marieb 2015), which include the bones of the limbs and the bones responsible for holding the limbs to the axial skeleton. The bones in the skeletal system

“Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, either as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D” (Mayo Clinic, 2016). The main causes of osteoporosis are aging, menopause, and lack of vitamin D and calcium. The standard symptoms include bone fracture that occurs more easily, stooped posture, and loss of height over time. With osteoporosis, the general medications are bisphosphonates, and unfortunately osteoporosis

Viking, the word conjures up images of well built men with long hair and braided beards wearing firs and horned helmets, holding axes and shields, ready to battle so they can return home to consume bountiful feasts. The word brings to mind fanciful stories like Beowulf where these very same men fight beasts after a night of stuffing their gullets and consuming large amounts of mead. There are so many stories about these warriors that many of them have become legendary individuals, but there is so

the jaw bone, affects soft tissues that support the prostheses, facial esthetic changes, decreased masticatory performance, and diet related health problems and psychological aspects of a total tooth loss. Basal bone forms the dental skeletal structure, it contains almost most of the muscle attachments, and begins to form in the fetus before the development of teeth. Alveolar bone (bone that surrounds teeth) first appears when hertwigs root sheath of the tooth bud develops. The alveolar bone cannot
