What is a viral infection of bone that accelerates bone loss?
Osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the bone that can lead to bone loss and destruction. It is not caused by a virus.
What is the function of the navicular bone in the ankle?
Navicular bone is situated on the medial side of foot. The function of the navicular bone is to distribute the weight of the body evenly through the bones in the foot. Arteries running through the foot are also held together by these bones.
Which part of the bone will lead to the greatest loss of strength?
The cortical bone, located on the outer surface of bones, is responsible for providing structural support and strength. Therefore, a loss of cortical bone density will lead to the greatest loss of strength in bones.
What is excessive and abnormal bone remodeling?
Excessive and abnormal bone remodeling refers to a condition where there is an imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption processes. This can lead to weakened bones, increased risk of fractures, and conditions like osteoporosis or Paget's disease. Treatment may involve medications to regulate bone turnover and promote bone strength.
What are some diseases caused by the bone cell?
Some diseases caused by bone cells include osteoporosis (bone density loss), osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bones), and Paget's disease (abnormal bone remodeling). These conditions can lead to increased fractures, deformities, and pain in affected individuals.
What wave length goes through most mater except bone and lead?
X-rays have a wavelength that can penetrate most materials except for dense materials like bone and lead. They are commonly used in medical imaging to visualize bones and tissues inside the body.
Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Does bone remove toxins such as lead and radium from the blood?
Bone does play a role in the storage and regulation of certain heavy metals, including lead and radium, by sequestering them from the bloodstream. However, this process does not actively "remove" these toxins; rather, it can lead to their accumulation in bone tissue over time, which may pose health risks. The body primarily eliminates these toxins through other organs, such as the liver and kidneys, rather than through bone. Thus, while bone can sequester some toxins, it is not an effective detoxification mechanism.
Is lead or bone more dense?
Lead is denser than bone. Lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm³, while bone has a density ranging from 1.7 to 2.0 g/cm³ depending on its composition and density.
What do Bone cysts lead to?
Bone cysts cause fractures and damage to bone tissue
Is lead more radiopaque then bone?
Lead. Even a thin layer of lead blocks most radiation, where bone is fairly transparent at many frequencies.
Can dark matter enter a humans body?
The whole point of dark matter is that it doesn't interact via the electromagnetic force (that's what makes it "dark"). It's therefore largely unaffected by normal matter (except through gravity), and could go straight through your body... or a lead wall, or the Earth... without you even noticing. In fact, if dark matter really exists, that pretty much has to be happening all the time.
What mineral is so dense that X-rays cant pass through?
According to biologists, x-ray beams cannot penetrate through bone mineral because it is very strong and dense. Bone mineral tests are performed to measure calcium levels in the bone.
What is a fracture of the bone?
A broken bone is a bone that has suffered stress. Such stress could lead to several types of fractures.
What is the upper arm bone that is not funny if you lift things in the wrong way called?
The upper arm bone is called the humerus. It's crucial for arm movement and stability, and improper lifting techniques can lead to injuries or strains involving this bone. While it sounds like "humorous," the consequences of lifting incorrectly are no laughing matter!
What is a viral infection of bone that accelerates bone loss?
Osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the bone that can lead to bone loss and destruction. It is not caused by a virus.
What travels through empty space and through matter?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
