On average it is estimated that the portion of a T-Bone steak that is bone is 15% of the total weight. Therefore, A 16 Oz T-Bone steak would have approx.

14.6 onces of meat, the remaining 2.4 onces would be bone.

A T-Bone should cost less per pound than a Strip Steak because you are paying for bone in the weight of the T-Bone.

The shape of long bones, which includes a cylindrical shaft and enlarged ends, helps distribute forces evenly along the bone's length. This design allows for better absorption and dissipation of impact or stress, making the bone less susceptible to breaking. Additionally, the bone's compact outer shell and spongy inner structure provide strength and flexibility to resist fractures.

The lateral malleolus is formed by the fibula, while the medial malleolus is formed by the tibia. These bony protrusions are located on each side of the ankle joint, providing stability and support to the joint.

The 'Ulna'. It's your 'funny bone' bone, more or less.

No, breasts do not have bones. They are primarily made up of fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and ligaments. There are no bones in the breast area.

There is a rumour going around that the bone in your buttocks is called the "bootius maximus" As a "bootius maximus" is a joke term from "booty" and maximum meaning a good looking and large female rear end, the person supplying you with the answer may have been setting you up for future embarrassment. Like using the term on WikiAnswers as the correct answer.

The muscle (not the bone) in the buttock is the gluteus maximus (or glutæus maximus) The bones of the hip are the ilium, ischium, and pubis. If you include the vestigial human "tail" you would add the coccyx comprised of three to five separate or fused vertebrae (the coccygeal vertebrae) below the sacrum.

A knee strain is an acute injury in which tendons and ligaments become stretched or torn. Most strains occur because of direct blows to theknee, extreme bending or twisting of joints, or overuse through repetitive activity. The most common symptoms include pain, swelling, loss of mobility, and a lack of strength. Depending on the severity of a knee strain, an individual may be able to ease symptoms and recover with rest and simple home remedies. A serious strain usually requires immediate medical attention, surgery, and several weeks of physical therapy.

Bone Marrow - Apex

Various - but I guess you are after the mineral portion - thus Calcium

Second Answer from an editor: Your bones are made of osteoclast which include calcium. Your teeth are made of dentin and that has calcium in it too. When you get cavities germs and bacteria can invade and erode the dentin and it is not replaceable as bones can regenerate new bone osteoclast cells. That is what causes bone fracture re-fusing. Too bad teeth cannot regenerate dentin.

Osteoporosis is a disease caused by the loss of bone calcium, leading to bones becoming weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures. It is most commonly seen in postmenopausal women and the elderly. Regular weight-bearing exercise and sufficient dietary calcium and vitamin D intake can help prevent or manage osteoporosis.

Capillary refill refers to how quickly the color returns to the external capillary bed following pressure that has been applied to an area. A brisk capillary refill means that the color returned to the capillary bed rather quickly.

Its a heelbone that's how it's spelt

The tough fibrous sheath around the bone is called the periosteum. It is essential for bone growth, repair, and nutrition.

Long bone: the ends are called the epiphysis, the shaft is called the diaphysis. There is articular cartilage on either ends. The long bones distally and proximally have red marrow. There is yellow marrow in the diaphysis. The yellow marrow is mostly fat. On the surface of the bone is a periosteum which covers the endosteum. The center is called the medullary cavity.
The epiphysis is made of spongy cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. It is connected to the bone shaft by the epiphyseal cartilage, or growth plate, which aids in the growth of bone length and is eventually replaced by bone.

The stapes bone in the middle ear contains an apex (which connects to the incus bone) and a base (which connects to the oval window of the inner ear).

Common disorders that may affect the bones of the hand include fractures, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and trigger finger. These conditions can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited range of motion in the hand. Proper diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional are important for managing these disorders effectively.

Yes, bone remodeling affects both compact and spongy bone tissues. It involves the removal of old bone by osteoclasts and the formation of new bone by osteoblasts, leading to changes in bone structure and density. The process helps maintain bone strength and repair microdamage.

Hydroxyapatite is a mineral compound that plays a crucial role in providing the hardness and stiffness to bones. It contributes to bone strength and density, making it an essential component for overall bone health and structure. Moreover, hydroxyapatite also serves as a reservoir for important minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for various biological processes in the body.

There are a number of conditions that can result in pain associated with the rib cage. The possible conditions range from less serious, but very uncomfortable, muscle spasms (intercostals, serratus ant. or post., iliocostalis, etc.) or inflamatory disorders (costochondritis) to more serious primary pulmonary pathologies. Your best option would be to make an appointment with an osteopathic or chiropractic physician who will be able to determine the appropriate course of action for your specific condition.

Yes, the calcaneus is considered part of the appendicular skeleton. It is the largest bone in the foot and is located in the hindfoot, contributing to the structure and support of the foot and ankle.

It is known as the iliac crest. It is located at the superior (upper) edge of the ilium. In females, the iliac crest is longer, and curves outward (laterally) more so than in males. This is part of the wider structure of the ilium in females, than in males, which accounts for wider hips as a norm.

Overactive bone marrow refers to a condition where the bone marrow produces an excessive number of blood cells. This can lead to conditions such as polycythemia vera, where there is an overproduction of red blood cells, or essential thrombocythemia, characterized by an excess of platelets. Treatment aims to regulate blood cell production to prevent complications such as blood clots or bleeding disorders.

1995 Merck put it out. It is said to re-build bone. It does NOT re-build bone. To explain it simply as possible; there are two types of bone cells that live in our bones that regulate the building and dissolving of our bones. Purpose; is when a bone is put under stress (carrying something heavy, jogging etc.) it stimulates the osteoblast to build bone or strengthen that area under stress. So it takes minerals out of our blood stream ( mainly calcium ) and deposits them in our bones, so strenghtening that area of bone. If there is not enough minerals in your blood stream to do this than the ostoeblasts can not do its job of re-building the bone. Or if you never put your bones under stress it doesn't signal these osteoclast to go to work, causing bones to weaken.

Our bones also has cells that dissolve bone. There is a purpose for them too. They help dissolve the old or dying bone cells. Also if our blood levels of calcium get too low they go to work dissolving bone so it can then be picked up by the blood stream and used where needed in the body. Every time you move a muscle and every heart beat (muscle) calcium is needed for the body to preform these functions. Our heart couldn't beat with out enough calcium in our blood. Fosamax and similar drugs KILL these osteoclasts. At first it seems to be working in building bone, because none is removed even the worthless dead cells. Dead bone cells have no strengh, they crumble under pressure. When the dead and dying cell begin to build up you end up with dead debre, being a perfect host to bacterium and other harmful things. Plus you loose strengh. Xrays APPEAR to us as if there is more bone. Well there is, dead bone.
