FORMATION OF HUMAN BONES - 2 - LESSON 198

-
Now in this post we would learn about the remaining part of formation of bones.

This Ossification is also called Osteogenesis which is the process of laying down new bone material by cells. Intramembranous ossification involves primitive connective tissue called mesenchyme, while endochondral ossification involves cartilage as a precursor. In most of the fracture, endochondral osteogenesis the most commonly occurring process healing can be done for the long bones which is treated by plaster of paris.

Then what is intramembranous ossification?

This ossification mainly occurs during formation of the flat bones of the skull but also the mandible, maxilla, and clavicles.

Then what is Endochondral ossification?

This ossification occurs in long bones and most of the rest of the bones in the body. An initial hyaline cartilage which continues to grow is involved.

 Not only are calcium and phosphorous part of the hard structure of bone tissue but calcium is also stored in bones and small quantities are present in the blood. Nerve fibers are unable to transmit impulses effectively to muslces if the proper amount of calcium is lacking in the blood. These hart muscle becomes weak, and muscles attached to bones undergo spasms.

The sufficient level of calcium in the blood is maintained by the parathyroid gland that secretes a hormone to release calcium from bone storage. More of the hormone is caused by tumor or other pathological process will increase blood calcium at the expense of the bones, which become so weak by the loss of calcium.

The growth in the length of the bones continues until the age of 25. The full length of bone is attained by the main deposition of calcium on the epiphyses.

 In the next lesson we will learn about the structure of the bone.

Okay.

Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions - Lesson 5

-
Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Grammar is very crucial in any language.  A medical transcriptionist must be well-versed in his language skills i.e. writing skills.  This unavoidable skill needs specialized knowledge in English grammar apart from strong listening skills and medical language skills, computer operating skills, and fast typing skills are of having secondary importance to be a successful medical transcription professional. In this post, we will see about basic parts of speech in English, such as, 1.  NOUN. 2.  PRONOUN. 3.  VERB. 4.  ADVERB.  We will see about one by one now. 1.  Noun - A noun is used to denote a name of a person, animal, place, of a inhuman thing in the universe.  For example, 1.  John is a name that denotes a boy.  2.  Dog is a name that specifies an animal. 3.  San Diego is mentioned to denote a place. 4.  Stone is denoted to specify an inhuman thing. Further read about NOUN 2.  Pronoun:  In a language, pronoun is used to specify any type of noun i

Body Cells and Differentiation-Lesson 1

-
Image
Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
