BONE – AN INTRODUCTION
A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton.
There are around 270 to 300+ bones in Infants which gets reduced to 206 bones in adults.
Bones are dynamic structures that are undergoing constant change and remodelling in
response to the ever-changing environment.
Bones support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells,
store minerals, provide structure and support for the body, and enable mobility.
It has a honeycomb-like matrix internally, which helps to give the bone rigidity.
The largest bone in the body is the femur or thigh-bone, and the smallest is the stapes in
the middle ear.

Bones, Joints, and the Architecture of Movement: Exploring the Skeletal SystemNursing Mastery
Title: Bones, Joints, and the Architecture of Movement: Exploring the Skeletal System
Introduction:
Welcome to our engaging SlideShare presentation on the Skeletal System & Joints, where we embark on a fascinating exploration of the framework that supports our bodies and facilitates movement. Join us as we delve into the intricate world of bones, joints, and the dynamic interplay that shapes our mobility and stability.
The skeletal system serves as the foundation of our anatomy, providing structural support, protection for vital organs, and a framework for locomotion. Comprised of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, this complex system forms the structural scaffold upon which our bodies are built.
In this presentation, we'll take a closer look at the anatomy of bones, from their composition and classification to their roles in mineral storage and blood cell production. Through detailed illustrations and interactive diagrams, we'll explore the dynamic nature of bone remodeling and the factors that influence bone health and density.
But bones alone do not account for the versatility of human movement. Joints, the articulations where two or more bones meet, play a crucial role in facilitating motion and absorbing impact. From synovial joints like the knee and shoulder to fibrous and cartilaginous joints, we'll unravel the mechanics of joint structure and function.
Together, the skeletal system and joints form a complex network that enables us to walk, run, jump, and perform a myriad of daily activities. Whether you're a student studying anatomy, a fitness enthusiast seeking to optimize performance, or simply curious about the mechanics of the human body, our presentation offers valuable insights into the wonders of the skeletal system and joints.
Join us as we embark on a journey through the bony landmarks and articulations that define our physical form and discover the intricate architecture of movement hidden beneath our skin.
The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth – this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together. The bone mass in the skeleton makes up about 14% of the total body weight and reaches maximum density around age 21

Osteology, derived from the from Greek ὀστέον (ostéon) 'bones', and λόγος (logos) 'study', is the scientific study of bones, practised by osteologists. A subdiscipline of anatomy, anthropology, and paleontology, osteology is the detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, microbone morphology, function, disease, pathology, the process of ossification (from cartilaginous molds), and the resistance and hardness of bones (biophysics).[1]
Osteologists frequently work in the public and private sector as consultants for museums, scientists for research laboratories, scientists for medical investigations and/or for companies producing osteological reproductions in an academic context.
Osteology and osteologists should not be confused with osteopathy and its practitioners, osteopaths.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

• some outer fibers continuous with the tendons that attach muscle to bone
• perforating (Sharpey’s) fibers – other outer fibers that penetrate into the bone
matrix
• strong attachment and continuity from muscle to tendon to bone
– inner osteogenic layer of bone forming cells
• important to growth of bone and healing of fractures
endosteum – thin layer of reticular connective tissue lining marrow cavity
– has cells that dissolve osseous tissue and others that deposit it
epiphyseal plate (growth plate) – area of hyaline cartilage that
separates the marrow spaces of the epiphysis and diaphysis
– enables growth in length
– epiphyseal line – in adults, a bony scar that marks where growth plate used to be

• Movement
– move from place to place, movement of body parts and body contents in
breathing, circulation, feeding and digestion, defecation, urination, and
childbirth
– role in communication – speech, writing, and nonverbal communications
• Stability
– maintain posture by preventing unwanted movements
– antigravity muscles – resist the pull of gravity and prevent us from falling or
slumping over
– stabilize joints
• Control of openings and passageways
– sphincters – internal muscular rings that control the movement of food, bile,
blood, and other materials
• Heat production by skeletal muscles
– as much as 85% of our body heat

Page 34
II.3 Connective Tissues of a Muscle
• endomysium
– thin sleeve of loose connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber
– allows room for capillaries and nerve fibers to reach each muscle fiber
• perimysium
– slightly thicker layer of connective tissue
– fascicles – bundles of muscle fibers wrapped in perimysium
– carry larger nerves and blood vessels, and stretch receptors
• epimysium
– fibrous sheath surrounding the entire muscle
– outer surface grades into the fascia
– inner surface sends projections between fascicles to form perimysium
• fascia
– sheet of connective tissue that separates neighboring muscles or muscle
groups from each other and the subcutaneous tissue

II.4 Classification of Muscles
• fusiform muscles can shorten quickly over a large distance
but have limited power.
• pennate muscles are more powerful but cannot shorten to
the same extent.
• isotonic muscle contraction involves a change in muscle
length often under constant force generation: in concentric
contraction the muscle shortens, while in eccentric
contraction it lengthens.
• isometric contraction involves no change in muscle length
but is usually associated with a change in the tension
generated.
