The Skeletal System: The Key Functions Of The Skeletal System
explanatory Essay
785 words
The skeletal system is composed of many bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. The key functions of the skeletal system are to supply a supportive frame for the body, to shield the internal organs such as the heart and lungs. Providing attachment points for muscles is also another function as this enables the parts of the animal to have good locomotion, the long bones produce bone marrow. However, for this report, I will be concentrating more on the joints of the canine skeletal system. The joints are the articular exteriors at the end of the bones, they are shielded by a coating of cartilage. There are three main types of joints within the canine skeletal system they consist of the fibrous joints, these do not allow any movement …show more content…
Hip Dysplasia is a genetic attribute which is affected by environmental factors such as excessive growth, exercise, the dog’s weight and the dog’s nutrition intake. This chronic disease often arises while the dog is still young and physically underdeveloped around the five-month mark the symptoms will appear and it will deteriorate as they grow. This abnormality can eventually cause lameness and agonizing arthritis or even loss of function of the hip joint altogether. The larger breeds of dog such as Great Danes, Saint Bernards, Labrador Retriever and German Shepards are most likely to hold this genetic …show more content…
These consist of procedures such as (TPO) Triple Pelvic Osteotomy this is used for pups that are under two years of age and they don’t have any arthritic joints, this surgery repositions the acetabular socket, so it has a stronger fit for the head of the femur. Another surgical procedure given is (FHO) Femoral Head Ostectomy this procedure is used for petite dogs under 50lb, the head of the femur is completely detached, the area is packed with tissue to produce an artificial joint. A hip replacement is also another optional surgery the acetabulum and head of femur are both detached and replaced. Lastly the Dorsal Acetabular Rim Arthroplasty this operation consists of making a deeper socket for the femur to be supported by building up the acetabular rim with the bones from various parts of the

- Bull Dog Crazeanalytical essayOne particular article in Autry Hills Kennel explains how this has a direct impact on rare breeds who are genetically compromised. For a few puppies, the tedious weight on their joints can turn into an issue. More tedious weight on the joints implies more wounds and can prompt joint-related issues, for example, ACL (foremost cruciate ligament), tears and osteoarthritis. Two noteworthy classes of joint issues are formative and degenerative issues. Formative issues are things like when the joint does not grow effectively in various diverse ways. Degenerative issues can be various diverse things. In any case, the most widely recognized reason for is joint inflammation, ligament issues, where the ligament is worsening after some time and bringing about the joint to be temperamental. When all is said in done, expanded size and weight is a reason for joint issues. Both formative and degenerative issues are normally found in greater puppies with rare

The bone is a tissue that makes up about eighteen percent of the human body weight (Tortora and Derrickson 183). An infant is born with about 300 to 350 bones but as they grow up some of these bones fuse together. An adult has 206 bones (Zimmermann 2012). The skeletal system has various functions such as support, movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, triglyceride storage, and protection (Tortora and Derrickson 183). The bone continues to grow, remodel and repair itself (Tortora and Derrickson 182). There are some differences between the male and female skeletal system and this difference is mainly due to the role of childbirth (Zimmermann 2012). The skeletal system can be divided into two major groups. These groups are the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton.

Chances are, that any dog with a sudden rear leg “lameness” has a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. One would notice a rear leg so sore that the dog can hardly put any weight on it. If left unchecked, it will appear to improve over a week or so but the knee will be swollen and arthritis will quickly set in. Dogs are often seen by a veterinarian either in the “acute stage” right after the injury, or in the “chronic stage” several weeks later.

- Explains that the periosteum is a thin, fibrous membrane covering the entire surface of bones except inside the joints. the medullary canal contains red and yellow bone marrow.
- Explains that osteons are the building blocks that make up hard (cortical) bone. they are rode shaped units with a central canal surrounded by concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae.

Without these body parts, you probably would not make it out of bed. Ninety-nine percent of the body’s calcium is in the bone and eighty percent of bone tissue by weight is minerals. The human musculoskeletal system is comprised of two systems in the body: muscular and skeletal. These systems consist of bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The bones provide support for the body, which shapes our human skeleton. Joints connect different bones together to allow motion within the body. Flexible

The skeletal system provides vital functions for the human body. The functions this system provides are support, movement, protection, blood cell production, storage for calcium and endocrine regulation. Bone serves as the basic unit of the human skeletal system. Ossification is characterized as a process that produces new bone. This process is also known as bone formation. Bone formation consists of two types of development. They are intramembranous and endochondral formation. Intramembranous ossification takes place when cells within the membrane change and become osteochondral progenitor cells.

This is an extremely rare condition that only 13 reported dogs in the world have. The news of this disorder first came up when one of the owners of a short spine syndrome dog told her story. The video quickly went viral and many others began to tell their stories too, proving that these dogs weren’t the only ones. Although the dogs look very strange, often described as looking like a hyena, or a pig mixed with a frog, they are almost completely normal. The disorder is caused from severe shortening of the vertebral column or spine due to the compression of vertebrae, which leaves the dog with a fused spine that curves in multiple areas, crooked ribs, and cramped organs. As can be seen from looking at the dogs, it seems like they have no neck. In fact, they
