Skeletal System

Oh, dude, pinkies are small because they are the runt of the finger litter. They're like the little sidekick that never quite made it to the big leagues. But hey, they still serve a purpose, like when you need to delicately sip your tea or awkwardly stick it out when you're pretending to be fancy. So, yeah, small but mighty in their own little way.

Corticomedullary differentiation on medical diagnostic imaging is the visualisation of the difference of intensity (MRI) , echogenity (Ultrasound) or attenuation (CT) between the cortical and medullary tissue in an organ.

For Example;

The kidney has a cortex (the peripheral tissue) and a medulla (central to the cortex). On an ultrasound scan, the cortex should look whiter (more echogenic) than the medulla and thus, you should be able see and differentiate between these two different tissues judging by their color..

Loss of corticomedullary differentiation is what its called when both cortex and medulla are seen as the same shade of grey and one can not see any change of color (any change in shade of grey tones as most diagnostic images are black and white) on the border of cortex and medulla.

Skeletal muscles are the muscles that move bones. They are also known as voluntary muscles because you can consciously control them

A cricket has an exoskeleton, which is a hard, external skeleton that provides support and protection for the insect's body. The exoskeleton is made of a tough, waterproof substance called chitin. As the cricket grows, it sheds its exoskeleton in a process called molting, allowing it to grow larger and develop a new, larger exoskeleton.

Oh, dude, if the windpipe was a muscular tube without those fancy cartilage rings, it would probably collapse when you try to breathe in, like a sad deflating balloon. You'd sound like a wheezy accordion trying to play a tune. So, yeah, not a great scenario for your respiratory system, but hey, at least you'd have a unique party trick, right?

Oh, dude, when the volume of the rib cage decreases, it means you're exhaling or squeezing into a really tight shirt. Like, your lungs are getting smaller, pushing air out, or you're just trying to impress someone with your slim-fit attire. So yeah, it's either a biology thing or a fashion statement, take your pick.

The treatment for a fracture of the greater trochanter typically includes the following options:

1. **Conservative Management**: This may involve rest, pain management with medications, and physical therapy to restore function.

2. **Surgical Intervention**: In cases of displacement or significant pain, surgery might be necessary. Common procedures include:

   • **Internal Fixation**: Using screws or plates to stabilize the fracture.

   • **Total Hip Replacement**: In severe cases or in older patients, a hip replacement might be advised.

Reducing a dislocated collar bone is a simple task in many cases. A common method is to lie the patient on their back, with the affected shoulder at the edge of table. A sandbag is placed between the shoulders to raise the spine. The arm should be brought out straight and pulled gently. This should only be attempted by a skilled person. There are many other ways that this can be done. If they fail, surgery may also be required.

The small parts that make up your spine are called vertebrae. The vertebrae are the individual bones that stack together to form the spinal column

There are a couple of slang terms for this skin that are not really acceptable for this site. However, the actual term for this skin is olecranal skin (the olecranon is the projection of the ulna behind the elbow).

Patella!! ---- There are three bones that make up the knee joint: the distal end of the femur, the proximal end of the tibia, and the patella, which is a sesamoid bone within the quadriceps tendon that helps provide better leverage for extension of the knee.

Vinegar affects bone density on a couple of fronts. First off is that it makes otherwise "insoluble" calcium soluble. That makes it able to be absorbed by the body. This can be witnessed in the old high school experiment where you dissolve eggshells in vinegar. The reaction is:

CaCO3 + 2CH3COO -> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O +CO2

Once paired with vinegar, the calcium takes on the form of calcium acetate, which is soluble, so the calcium is absorbed and able to be utilized by bone.

A second, lesser known reason, is that the main acid in vinegar, acetic acid, lowers the amount of phosphorus the body can absorb. Phosphorus is a strong acid from meats and beans and grains unlike the weak acid of vinegar. Normally a certain amount of calcium will cleave to a certain amount of phosphorus and they will cancel each other out. When vinegar gets involved, less calcium is needed to cancel out a greater proportion of phosphorus and therefore less phosphorus is absorbed. If too much phosphorus came through, calcium would have been taken from bone to neutralize it.

This is one of the reasons a children's bones grow so rapidly. Children have a high ratio of good bacteria in their colon that synthesize acetic, as well as lactic, and other acids from the fiber or lactose that is eaten. As we grow older we don't eat the right foods to support these guys. On a side note, that is one of the reasons Honey is good for bones as well. It specifically feeds these guys and keeps them cranking out acetic acid.

Finally, while an acid, vinegar is like fruit in that the end product is not an acid at all. Once all of these reactions take place, the end products as you can see above are water and CO2. We breath out the CO2 into the air and end up with a net positive of base.

The outermost layer of your skin (epidermis) is part of flat epithelial tissues called stratified squamous epithelium. This part is flat and is covered with cuticles to make your skin waterproof. These cells are dead so they don't require any blood to be given to them. The layer beneath them (dermis) has many capillaries and blood vessels.

they have 300 in total

Napier's bones is a manually operated calculating device created by John Napier of Merchiston, Scotland for the calculation of products and quotients of numbers. The method was based on lattice multiplication, and also called rabdology, a word invented by Napier. Napier published his version in 1617.

Ode to the Skeletal System

Beneath the skin, a hidden frame,

The skeletal system, silent and tame.

A steadfast guard, a structure true,

Supporting the body in all that we do.

From cranium high, a vaulted dome,

To phalanges guiding hands that roam.

Each bone a story, a crafted piece,

A legacy of strength that will not cease.

The vertebrae stand, a column's might,

Flexing and bending, day and night.

Protecting nerves in their winding course,

A pillar of life, a steadfast force.

Ribs encircle, a cage so grand,

Shielding the heart with a gentle hand.

Their rhythm echoes with every breath,

Guarding life from the grasp of death.

The pelvis, a cradle, a basin wide,

Balancing life with strength and pride.

Femurs stretch, a bridge below,

Bearing the weight as we run and grow.

Joints connect, a dance divine,

Where bones meet and paths align.

Ligaments bind, tendons pull,

A marvel of motion, powerful.

Oh skeleton, quiet, steadfast friend,

Your work continues till the end.

A frame for flesh, a partner in grace,

The silent hero of the human race.

Well, well, well, look who's curious about anatomy! The smaller bone in the lower leg is called the fibula. It may be small, but it plays a big role in providing support and stability to the lower leg. Hope that satisfies your bone-craving curiosity!

"I assume you're talking about an adult skull, in which case it is 21-22 cm. long (from forehead to occiput) and 17-18 cm wide. Average circumference is 54-57 cms."

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Louise Hay believed that physical issues like a sprained wrist could be connected to emotional or mental stress. She often associated wrist problems with issues related to movement and flexibility in life. Remember, it's all about understanding the message your body is trying to tell you and showing yourself some love and care.

The superiormost margin of the coxal bone is known as the iliac crest. It serves as an attachment site for various muscles in the lower back and abdomen. The iliac crest can be palpated on the side of the body, forming the upper border of the hip bone.

With regards to movement and support to the body, a broken bone will reduce the ability of the bone to support the weight of the body. A bone acts as a frame for the muscle to pull against and thus enable movement. The muscle is unable to pull against a broken bone and therefore movement is reduced or not possible at all.
