Why does bone marrow in your bloodstream kill you?
To my best knowledge, I believe it has to do with where the marrow may travel. For example, if the marrow reaches the heart, complications may occur such as Heart Failure or a Heart Attack.
Immediate surgery or open heart surgery would be used to remove the marrow, but there is about a 3-7% mortality rate due to the surgery and the complication resulting of it. These include stroke, and heart and brain damage.
Hi my name is Punkey
"when you get a bone fracture such as you femur and leave it untreated even for one hour some of you bone marrow might leak into you bloodstream causing a fat embolism. it is highly unlikely but very possible and it can and in most cases will kill you. it happens a lot when people get amputation. i am a little worried about it right now because i shattered my right hand, wrist, and both bones in my arm on may,25,2010 and they cant fix it until June 2,2010 my arm hand and fingers are purple and green but i don't feel pain unless i move it and they cant hard cast it because the open wound where the bones came through my skin and because the swelling. it sucks." this is what a fat embolism is just incase you didnt know
-Fat embolism syndrome follows long bone fractures. Its classic presentation consists of an asymptomatic interval followed by pulmonary and neurologic manifestations combined with petechial hemorrhages. The syndrome follows a biphasic clinical course. The initial symptoms are probably caused by mechanical occlusion of multiple blood vessels with fat globules that are too large to pass through the capillaries. Unlike other embolic events, the vascular occlusion in fat embolism is often temporary or incomplete since fat globules do not completely obstruct capillary blood flow because of their fluidity and deformability. The late presentation is thought to be a result of hydrolysis of the fat to more irritating free fatty acids which then migrate to other organs via the systemic circulation.-
What protects the ends of fingers and toes?
Fingernails and toenails are plates of stratified squamous epithelial cells with hard keratin that protect the distal ends of the phalanges. The phalanges are the finger bones.
You are describing finger nails and toe nails. For some interesting nail facts: fingernails grow faster than toenails. The fingernails on the right hand of a right-handed person grow faster than those on their left hand.
Do men have more rib bones than women?
No both sexes have 24 ribs (a set of 12). A very small amount of people have 22 or 26 ribs, (en extra set, or a missing set) at birth.
What bones are in the shoulder?
The shoulder is a point in the body where several bones join, but I'm going to assume you're asking for the correct name of specifically the shoulder blade bone that connects most of those bones in the shoulder together. It's called a scapula.
What is the biggest bone in human body?
The femur (the bone in your thigh) is the largest bone in the body.
What is the anatomical name for the thigh bone?
The anatomical name for the thigh bone is the femur. It is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee and playing a key role in supporting body weight and facilitating movement.
Bone atrophy is a condition where bones lose mass and density, leading to weakening and increased risk of fractures. It can be caused by factors such as aging, lack of physical activity, hormonal changes, or medical conditions like osteoporosis. Treatment may include weight-bearing exercises, medication, and dietary changes to help prevent further bone loss.
How can you take care of your bones?
Drink milk, or eat yogurt or cheese. Keep up up with the "3-a-day dairy" production!
To take care of your bones, a person to should make sure they're consuming a diet that is full of all the vitamins and minerals they need to keep bones strong. The best way to take care of bones is to drink lots of milk since it contains calcium.
have plenty of milk as it has calcium
Exersize alot and drink lots of milk
the bones are stuctural unit of body...care is must be required...because if bones have any deformalities than cause orthoporosis...pain in particular region of body.so we need to exercise a lot and drink lots of milk,and other foods that has calcium in it.and also eat yougurt
People can take care of their bones by exercise, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. Giving your bones nutrient and doing weight bearing exercise will keep you and your bones healthy.
Drink milk and other foods that has calcium in it and of course exercise.
Where would you find the three smallest bones in the human body?
The three smallest bones in the human body are the auditory ossicles found in the middle ear - they are the malleus, stapes, and incus. More commonly known as the hammer, stirrup, and anvil.
A fissure in the skull typically refers to a crack or fracture in the bone of the skull. These can be caused by trauma or injury to the head. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a skull fissure to prevent further complications such as brain injury or infection.
Can you get bone cancer of the teeth?
No, bone cancer does not affect teeth because teeth are not made of bone tissue. However, there are types of cancer that can affect the mouth and jaw bones, but these would not be considered bone cancer of the teeth specifically.
What do you call the breaking of a bone?
The breaking of a bone is called a fracture. It can range from a hairline crack to a complete break, and can happen due to trauma, overuse, or medical conditions like osteoporosis.
Why are hollow bones stronger than solid ones?
Summary Controlled Failure of Hollow Rock Cylinders in Uniaxial Compression Detailed consideration is given to the behavior of hollow rock cylinders loaded in uniaxial compression. Elastic stress distributions calculated by the finite element method show that radial stresses are considerably lower in hollow than in solid cylinders, and that the uniformity of the stresses can be improved considerably by using loading platens having the same cross-section as the specimen. Servo-controlled uniaxial compression tests carried out on solid and thick-walled cylinders of white Tennessee marble show no essential differences in the behavior of the two specimen types with similar strengths and fracture phenomena being observed. In tests carried out in servo-controlled, stiff, and conventional machines, the progressive formation of large numbers of short subaxial cracks is followed by the development of macrofractures such as slabbing and shearing well past the peak of the stress-strain curve.

The human body has about 208 to 214 bones. As a person ages from newborn to adult, some bones fuse together and the total number of individual bones in the body becomes less.
Why do women who are covered in their clothes exhibit problems with their bones?
Women who are covered in their clothes may exhibit problems with their bones due to a lack of exposure to sunlight, which is needed for the body to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for bone health and calcium absorption. Additionally, limited physical activity and poor posture from restrictive clothing may contribute to bone problems.
It means that there is a storm coming. When a cold front comes in and you have arthritis, your bones will ache. As people age, their joints get looser and these pockets of less tight tissue can detect changes in barometric pressure and let people know of approaching rain. People who have had joint surgury know the experience as well. When a storm approaches, the barometric pressure changes as the storm front either moves a cold or warm front out of the way. This change can be felt hours or even days ahead of an approaching storm system.
What are the major organs of the skeletal system?
The major organs of the skeletal system are bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Bones provide support and structure to the body, while cartilage cushions joints and absorbs shock. Tendons attach muscle to bone, and ligaments hold bones together at joints.
What do bones first develop as?
Bones first develop as cartilage models which gradually ossify into bone through a process called endochondral ossification. This process involves the replacement of cartilage with bone tissue, resulting in the formation of the mature bone structure.
The rib cage is a bony structure that protects vital organs, such as the heart and lungs, from injury and damage. It also provides support for the upper body and plays a role in breathing by expanding and contracting to allow the lungs to inflate and deflate.
How many bones articulate with femur and patella?
The femur articulates with two bones: the patella (kneecap) and the tibia (shinbone). The patella acts as a protective covering for the front of the knee joint and provides leverage for the muscles that extend the knee joint.
How many bones are humans born with?
Humans are born with about 270 bones, as a child grows and develops, some of these bones fuse together. An adult human typically has 206 bones.
Adult men typically have 206 bones in their body. This number can vary slightly from person to person due to individual differences and variations.
The nasal cavity is part of the human respiratory system.
Also known as the nasal fossa, it is a small air-filled chamber behind the nose, connected via the pharynx to the larynx (voicebox) and the trachea. Above and in front of the nasal cavity are the sinuses (paranasal cavities), located inside the facial bones.
The nasal cavity is lined with a mucous membrane that helps keep it moist (and helps prevent drying out of the lungs). Small hairs in the nostrils filter dust from the air you breathe.
How many bones does a flamingo have?
A flamingo has around 201 bones in its body. This includes the bones in their wings, legs, neck, and spine which aid in their unique ability to stand on one leg for extended periods of time.
How does the skeletal System interact with the Nervous System?
The skeletal system helps mobilize the body by providing attachment sites for the muscles; producing levers. The nervous system tells the skeletal muscles what do do. So, by controlling the muscles, the nervous system indirectly interacts with the skeletal system.
i agree with that because i know the nervous system does do that that was a good answer. but do you know when you grow real old and your bones cant stand up any longer you get osteperosis
i love the sketetal but i dont agree. with her answer because my grandmother is really really old older than you can imagine and she has healthy bones she does not have osteoperosis so i don't agree.
