Skeletal System

Yes, collagen is a major component of bone, ligaments, and tendons. It provides structure, strength, and elasticity to these tissues. The specific type of collagen present may vary depending on the tissue and its function.

Seeding cow cartilage refers to the process of introducing cells onto a scaffold made of cow cartilage to promote tissue growth and regeneration. This technique is often used in tissue engineering to create new cartilage for medical purposes.

It depends on what bones you mean and where they are. Many synovial joints have tiny air pockets which can cause a popping or a crackling sound. I have two knee replacement joints and they pop at times which I was told was normal. Sometimes age can be a factor. There is always the friendly family doctor to ask as well.

The hyoid bone does not articulate with any other bones in the body. It is suspended by ligaments and muscles and serves as a point of attachment for important muscles of the neck and tongue that are involved in swallowing and speech.

In gymnastics, you mainly use your leg bones (femur, tibia, fibula) and arm bones (humerus, radius, ulna) for actions like jumping, balancing, and supporting your body weight. Your spine also plays a crucial role in gymnastics for flexibility and proper body alignment during movements.

The second largest bone in the foot is the talus bone, which sits between the tibia and fibula of the lower leg and the calcaneus bone (heel bone). The talus bone helps to transmit weight from the leg to the foot and plays a crucial role in ankle movement and stability.

The cuplike depression of the OS coxa into which the head of the femur fits is called the acetabulum. It forms the hip joint by articulating with the femoral head, allowing for a wide range of motion in the hip joint.

The bone itself cannot "bend" since it is a formed, hard tissue. But limbs (legs, arms), wrists, hands, fingers, ankles, parts of the feet, the toes, the neck and spine can "bend" or more accurately can flex or extend. Tendons and ligaments form attachments between places where bones meet, and extend into muscles that are on top of/surround the bones. Tendons and ligaments allow for stretching, bending, and straightening.

The inferiormost part of the sternum is known as the xiphoid process. It is a small, cartilaginous extension at the bottom of the sternum and does not fully ossify until adulthood. The xiphoid process serves as an attachment point for some abdominal muscles and provides support to the lower part of the ribcage.

When a baby is born the skull is not a solid dome as it is in adults. it is a collection of bones held together with thick fibrous sheaths. the bones need to be able to mould or float across each other as the baby passes through the birth canal during its delivery, as it is a bit of a tight squeeze.

The skull bones later fuse to become the rigid skull of the adult. you can feel the babies fontanelle or soft spot for months after its birth. the connecting fibrous sheaths are felt as suture lines on the babys skull.

The periosteum is the tough fibrous connective tissue covering of a bone that helps protect and nourish the bone. It also plays a role in bone repair following injury.

Any chance it is something to do with part of one's attitude or mindset? In that case it could be angst.

It's important to have any new lumps or bumps on your dog checked by a veterinarian. While your dog may not be showing signs of discomfort now, it's always best to rule out any underlying issues. Regular check-ups can help in early detection and treatment of any potential health concerns.

The four bones of the leg are the Femur, Patella, Tibia and Fibula. The femur is the thigh bone, the patella is the knee cap, the tibia is the shin bone and the fibula is the other bone in the lower leg which lies behind the shin. Hope this helps =]

The tibia is the larger of the two bones in the lower leg. The fibula is the smaller of the two. The femur and the patella are above it and the tarsus, or tarsals are at the connection to the ankle. See the related link for more information.

the proper name is the cranium

Muscle tissue. You have three types of muscles. Skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles.

Fosamax is a prescription drug used to treat older people suffering from osteoporosis. The drug was designed to increase bone mass which subsequently reduces the risk of bone fractures. One reported side effect with Fosamax is jaw osteonecrosis. A few years ago, studies also indicated drugs like Fosamax for a long time may weaken bones.

it expands as we inhale and contrasts as we exhale...this allows our lungs to fill up with air without pushing on out rib cage

the rib cage moves up and out when inhaling and moves down and in when exhaling.

Don't bother; you'll regret it later (tattoo removal is not enjoyable). But hey, you only live once; It depends on the business and the complexity of the design. The cheapest ones will be about £25 (40 USD). Add about £10 per hour of work. (15-17 USD) You could be looking at £40 to £120 ($70 to $200). A few words of advice: Make absolutely sure the equipment is sterile. Seriously- if you go in the day the guy forgets to check himself, it's as risky as unprotected sex with every customer who used the needle since it was last sterilised. (washing in water, however soapy doesn't count). Think about this very carefully. Think about how it'll look in 40 years, about why you want it and about what it will say about you. Sorry to keep lecturing you on this, but too many people I know have regretted getting tattoos done. Don't go for a cheap company- you may save some money now, but if they screw up, tattoo removal is expensive and very painful (trust me- it feels like holding your skin on a stove for 10 minutes). Think about this very, very carefully first. Tattoos lose their novelty after a few years.

stapes

There are two main catorgories of fractures. Complete and incomplete. A complete fracture is what we would usually refer to as a break (but that is not a medical term). An incomplete fracture is a hairline fracture, when the bone is cracked or patially broken. Another incomplete fracture is a greenstick, when the bone is broken on one side causing it to bend. Some coplete fractures are the simple fracture, where the bone is broken into two, straight across. Then the oblique fracture is very similar except it is broken on an angle. The spiral fracture is broken on an angle the twisted. Compound fracture is when the bone breaks through the skin. The comminuted fracture is a multi-fragmentary fracture.

The three ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) act as a mechanical transformer, transmitting sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear's fluid-filled cochlea. This process helps amplify sound waves and maintain the sensitivity of the hearing system. The ossicles also provide a way to protect the inner ear from loud noises by limiting the transmission of excessive vibrations.

The medial malleolus is found on the tibia bone, which is the larger of the two lower leg bones. It is located on the inner side of the ankle and helps form the ankle joint with the talus bone of the foot.
