bone: Encyclopedia - Bone

Bone, also called osseous tissue, (Latin: "os") is a type of hard endoskeletal connective tissue found in many vertebrate animals. Bones support body structures, protect internal organs, and (in conjunction with muscles) facilitate movement; are also involved with cell formation, calcium metabolism, and mineral storage. The bones of an animal are, collectively, known as the skeleton. Bone has a different composition than cartilage, and both are derived from mesoderm. In common parlance, cartilage can also be called "bone", cert ...

bone: Encyclopedia II - Bone - Bone pathologies One of the most common bone illnesses is a bone fracture. Bones heal by natural processes, but untended and unsupported can lead to misgrown bone. Other illnesses are for example osteoporosis and bone cancer (osteosarcoma). The joints can be affected by arthritis. ...

A bone fracture is a medical condition in which a bone becomes cracked, splintered, or bisected as a result of physical trauma. Bone fracture - Classification. Bone fracture - Closed vs. open. In medicine, fractures are classified as closed or open (compound) and simple or multi-fragmentary (formerly comminuted). Closed fractures are those in which the skin is intact, while open (compound) fractures involve wounds that communicate ...

bone: Encyclopedia - Cuboid bone

The cuboid bone is one of seven Tarsal bones. Distally, the Cuboid articulates with the fourth and fifth metatarsals, forming the fourth and fifth tarsometatarsal joints. Proximally, it articulates with the calcaneus, forming the calcaneocuboid joint. The medial surface of the bone articulates with both the lateral cuneiform bone and the navicular bone. The inferior surface has a groove on its distal th ...

bone: Encyclopedia - Capitate bone

The capitate bone (os capitatum; os magnum) is a bone in the human hand. The capitate bone is the largest of the carpal bones, and occupies the center of the wrist. It presents, above, a rounded portion or head, which is received into the concavity formed by the navicular and lunate; a constricted portion or neck; and below this, the body. The superior surface is round, smooth, and articulates with the lunate bone. The inferior surface is divided by two ridges into three facets, for articulation with the second, third, and fourth metacarpal bones, that for the third being the largest.< ...

bone: Encyclopedia - Bone corsetry

In corsetry, a bone is one of the rigid parts of a corset that forms its frame, gives it rigidity, and helps to shape the wearer's body. Originally, bones were made of whalebone, because no other material matched it for flexibility and strength. As whalebone was expensive, wood and cane were also used. Ivory was another luxury material used for the centre front bone, which was known as the busk. In the nineteenth century, whalebone was superseded by steel. Today, many corsets use plastic bones, alth ...

bone: Encyclopedia - Oracle bone

Oracle bones were first fully excavated from the Anyang site in Henan Province China in 1899. They are mostly ox scapulae (shoulder blades) and turtle shells or plastrons, used for scapulomancy: after being heated (such as having a heated rod inserted through the bone), they would crack, and the priest in charge of the ceremony would read the cracks to learn the answer to a question written on the bone. He looked both for the presence of a crack or the absence of a crack to assay the relative strength of one question's answer t ...

bone: Encyclopedia - Zygomatic bone

The zygomatic bone (also known as the zygoma; Os Zygomaticum; Malar Bone) is a paired bone of the human skull. It articulates with the maxilla, the temporal bone, the sphenoid bone and the frontal bone. It forms part of the orbit and is commonly referred to as the cheekbone. It is situated at the upper and lateral part of the face: it forms the prominence of the cheek, part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit, and parts of the temporal and infratemporal fossae [Fig. 1]. It presents a malar and a temporal surface; ...

Bone char, also known as bone black or animal charcoal, is a granular black material produced by calcinating animal bones: the bones are heated to high temperatures in the absence of air to drive off volatile substances. It consists mainly of calcium phosphate and a small amount of carbon. Bone char has a very high surface area and a high absorptive capacity for lead, mercury, and arsenic. Bone char - Uses. Bone char is used to remove fluoride from water and to filter aquarium water.Including:

bone: Encyclopedia - Bone marrow

'Bone marrow' (or "medulla ossea") is the tissue comprising the center of large bones. It is the place where new blood cells are produced. Bone marrow contains two types of stem cells: hemopoietic (which can produce blood cells) and stromal (which can produce fat, cartilage and bone). Stromal stem cells have the capability to differentiate into many kinds of tissues, such as nervous tissue. Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to the three classes of blood cell that are found in the circulation: leukocytes, red blood cells (erythrocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). The tissue of bone marrow, where pluripotential hemopo ...

Bone china is a British porcelain in which calcined ox bone is added to the body, which gives a very white colour. This was first used by Thomas Frye in 1748 to make a type of soft-paste porcelain. In the late 18th century, Josiah Spode adopted it and mixed it with china clay and stone to make a harder version to compete with the importation of Oriental porcelain. It is first fired to a translucent state without a glaze at 1280°C (2336°F) and then glaze-fire ...

bone: Encyclopedia - Bone marrow transplant

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a medical procedure in the field of hematology and oncology that involves transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). It is most often performed for people with diseases of the blood or bone marrow, or certain types of cancer. Bone marrow transplantation was pioneered in the 1970's by E. Donnall Thomas whose work was later recognized with a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Dr. Thomas' work showed that bone marrow cells infused i ...
