What is the flexible connective tissue connected to the bones at the joints called? During intramembranous ossification, which type of tissue does bone replace? a. Hyaline cartilage b. Elastic cartilage c. Skeletal muscle d. Embryonic What anatomical structure co...
What are the risks, benefits, alternatives, and pitfalls for operating on cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL)? To successfully diagnose OPLL, it is important to obtain Magnetic Resonance Images (MR). These studies, particularly the T2 weighted images, provide...
Heterotopic ossification is characterized by the formation of normal bone at ectopic soft-tissue locations. Regardless of the etiology of heterotopic ossification, requisite pathogenetic conditions include an inductive signal capable of stimulating morphogenesis, a population of inducible osteop...
Endochondral ossification involvesthe replacement of hyaline cartilage with bony tissue. Most of the bones of the skeleton are formed in this manner. These bones are called endochondral bones. In this process, the future bones are first formed as hyaline cartilage models. What is the function of ...
Bones- develop from cartilage, which is a tough but flexible connective tissue. What is the process called where cartilage is turned into bone? Ossification- is the hardening of the cartilage to bone. Some places in our body remains cartilage, why? What is bone elongation? Bone elongation- ...
Gossypiboma imaging features are not well known and are often confused with soft tissue tumours. Publications on this topic mainly consist of case reports and small cohorts. Its appearance on various imaging modalities is not well defined. This led us to carry out a review of literature to det...
What is osteoarthritis? What causes a bone to thicken? Compare and contrast an open fracture and a closed fracture. (a) Describe the two types of ossification. (b) Describe their processes. If a person has increased osteoclast activity, what type of changes to their bones can they expect?
Why is thoracic spinal stenosis rare? Thoracic myelopathy due to thoracic spinal stenosis is a rare condition, which is most commonlybecause of the ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF)as first described in 1960 (1). Will I end up in a wheelchair with spinal stenosis?
The tissue differentiation theory is used more for fracture healing than for sesamoid bone formation but there’s some reason to suspect that similar mechanisms are at play in both. And there’s much more; if you want the gory details see the paper. So did we solve why, or how, ...
Bone is a specially designed hard connective tissue and is made up of two main components that are calcium phosphate and collagen fibers. The major roles of the bones in the body are movement, mineral reservoirs, structural support,...
