What bones of the pelvis do we sit on?
The bone that you sit on is also known as the sits bones. The scientific name is the ischium which is a large swelling posteriorly on the superior ramus of the ischium.
Why can it take months for a bone to heal?
Because a bone in your body is very rough and hard, the bone's healing time depends on the size of the damage, if the bone is completely snapped then it will take longer then a cut because it is bigger damage whereas a cut can seal itself.
The skin as such is made up out of organic soft material where cells can multiply very fast given the right conditions.
Our bone structure is made up out of specialized cells that absorbs a lot of calcium (and other components) that hardens them over time.
A bone heals quite quick though as in having or getting the cells needed in order to "glue" it back together again. This happens much at the same rate as skin cells would heal up.
It is the process of hardening and strengthening this freshly formed new material that is responsible for the long time it takes.
A broken bone will rarely break at the same place again after it is healed though. The fracture actually make the bone structure stronger where it happened due to "scar tissue" or extra bone material being deposited in and around the fracture.
Skin with scar tissue does not experience this effect and will be weaker for a really long time afterwards, often through life, although not much weaker.
Is the RICE treatment applied to broken bones?
it's not a procedure - it's discharge instructions:
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
What is a strong tissue that holds the bones together?
Calcium makes them strong and they are flexible only at the joints.
Can you bend a bone without breaking it?
You can't bend bones easily because they are rigid. Bones give your body rigidity and hence you're able to move. If they could be bent easily you would be similar to some jelly.
But bones do have a certain amount of flexibility to them. An infant has the most bending capacity. But as we age, the substance responsible for flexibility is replaced by non-flexible minerals. But it is important to remember that they are basically rigid and only some amount of flexibility is possible. If the bones are forced to bend beyond that, then it may result in fractures.
What is spongy bone also called?
spongey bone is flexible but can break very easily. Isnt science fascinating.
What causes holes in your bones?
It can be caused by laying your baby down with a bottle at night or poor diet (too many sweets, for example). Poor dental hygiene such as not brushing their teeth daily can also cause problems. Seek professional advice from a dentist.
What is the dome shaped bone of the skull called?
The parietal and temporal bones form the sides and uppermost portion of the dome of the cranium, and the frontal bone forms the forehead
Is the ulna medial or lateral compared to the radius?
Correct. It is also proximally medial to the radius in pronation, however at its distal end it is lateral.
What is a benefit of blood cord over bone marrow for transplant?
These two transplants are similar because they use stem cells as their way to cure a person's malignant disease. The only big difference is stem cells used in cord blood transplant come from a newborn's umbilical cord. This cord is commonly referred to as cord blood and it is similarly effective as the stem cells found in bone marrow.
One cord blood might not be enough to cure an adult. An adult needs two units of cord blood to get cured.
Right so let's break the first task down; what is happening to her circulatory systemfirst of all.
When you exercise, or play football in this case, you are working your muscles and certain places in the body. When this happens, your muscles respire (burn the FOOD to produce ENERGY) more faster than they would normally, so the demand for OXYGEN and GLUCOSE is increased.
Because the muscles are performing cellular RESPIRATION quicker than the norm, they need oxygen and glucose to reach them faster (glucose and oxygen are the components for cellular respiration), and also they need to get rid of their C02 (products of cellular respiration are CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER) so the HEART is now pumping blood around the body at a faster rate in order to provide these cells with what they need. To summarize, the circulatory system has to work harder and faster during exercise to provide the cells at work with glucose and oxygen and to get rid of the waste carbon dioxide.
Right now the next part of the task asks what is happening to her breathing system (aka respiratory system).
This relates to the explanation I gave earlier; the requirement for oxygen is increased so now the respiratory system (in particular the LUNGS) have to work harder and faster to take in more oxygen and to exhale more C02, thus you begin to breathe faster. To summarize, oxygen is inhaled quicker and carbon dioxide is exhaled quicker, therefore the rate of DIFFUSION is increased.
Oh and for the diagrams you could draw a picture of a girl playing football, then next to that have a picture of her lungs and heart (including the arteries/veins) and show how they are working harder during exercise.
Why does newly born baby have 306 bones?
Simply because some bones 'fuse' together after birth. The baby's skull, for example - if it was one piece - would make childbirth much more difficult for the mother. the skull is in pieces so the baby can squeeze through the birth canal, and the pieces fuse together in the first few months of life.
What causes bones in the human body to become brittle?
Your bones can become brittle from lack of calcium. Calcium levels become low when you don't have many dairy or calcium rich products. Coke, Fanta or any other carbonated drinks are VERY bad for calcium levels and can lower them extremely.
What is the common name for cervical vertebrae?
There are only 2 cervical vertebrae that have common names: the atlas and the axis, they act as the pivot that allows you to turn your head.
How many bones in shoulder bones?
The human shoulder is a joint consisting of bones, muscles, and ligaments. The two shoulders are located beneath the head connecting the arm and the chest. Each shoulder consists of 2 bones, the clavicle and the scapula, and collectively both shoulders account for 4 bones in the body.
What happens if the epiphyseal cartilage is damaged?
Damaged cartilage can float freely around in the bursa without causing problems. It can also get trapped in the joint, causing the joint to lock up. Arthroscopic surgery is the least invasive way to remove damaged cartilage.
The human body has twelve pairs of ribs for a total of 24 individual ribs.
What is the type of joint in which the head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum?
Ball and socket joint (also known as enarthrosis or spheriodal joint)
Are teeth apart of the skeletal system?
cheater!lol
The bones provide support, they work with the muscle to allow movement, they protet organs, store minerals, and produce blood cells.
What bone is located in the centre of your rib cage?
In the posterior position the ribs articulate on individual vertebrae of the spine. I the anterior position they converge on the sternum. There is no bone in the centre of cage made by the ribs.
