why is trabecular bone mechanically and physiologically advantageous over cortical bone.
Trabecular bone transfers the mechanical loads from the articular surface to the cortical bone. The hydraulic properties of this bone absorbs shock and the material properties of this bone compartments is different, where the trabecular bone has lower calcium content and more water content compared to cortical bone.
why is trabecular bone mechanically and physiologically advantageous over cortical bone.
why is bone tissue organized differently (cortical versus trabecular bone)?
Freshly dissected cortical bone contains ~10 vol.%water. Dried cortical bone contains ~70 wt.% minerals and ~30 wt.% collagen proteins. The density of carbonated hydroxyapatite is ~2.8 g/cm3and the density of dried collagen is ~1.3 g/cm3 . a.Calculate the volume percentage of minerals and proteins (each) in dehydrated bone. b.Calculate the volume percentage of minerals and proteins (each) in hydrated bone.
A solid cylinder of cortical bone has a length of 500mm, diameter of 2cm and a Young’s Modulus of 17.4GPa. Determine the spring constant ‘k’

7. On the consumer side, why are prices advantageous over a system of distributed baskets where people can trade amongst themselves? After all, people in the priceless trading system can end up with baskets that make them happier than what they received. So what advantage do prices confer for consumers? (Hint: Pareto efficient should be included in this answer.) 8. On the producer side, why are prices advantageous over a system where each producer would make some amount of goods...
Why is voltammetry advantageous over other methods of electroanalysis (coulometry and potentiometry)? What are the advantages and disadvantages of other methods? What method of (cyclic linear sweep, square wave, normal pulse) voltammetry should be used for studying a redox reaction?

1. You have a teenaged friend who is a vegan and she has just
found out that her mother has osteoporosis. She is very worried
about her bone health but will not eat any animal products. Give
her any three suggestions that she could follow to ensure the
future health of her bones.
2. Many people assume that calcium and vitamin D are the only two
nutrients that are essential to bone health,...
What is the pH of our blood and why is a buffer important to us physiologically?
Describe what a mechanically altered diet is, why a patient or client would be prescribed a mechanically altered diet, and give an example of a patient who would be appropriate for a mechanically altered diet.
Specimens of human cortical bone tissue were subjected to a simple tension test until fracture. The test results revealed a stress-strain diagram shown in the following figure, which has three distinct regions. These regions are an initial linearly elastic region (between 0 and A), an intermediate nonlinear elastoplastic (between A and B), and a final linearly plastic region (between B and C). The average stresses and corresponding strains at points O, A, B and C are measured as: Point Stress...
