Op you're doing a nice job. There's just one problem, Nairalanders or lemme say Nigeriams in general aren't really into educative stuffs. They prefer enticing headlines like 'cossy orij.. Shows cleaveages in new photos'. Watch how they troop into the thread. I was running an infographic too on tech. Turnout was poor!

That is one of the problems we face sha....

Over a period of 7 Years our bone is replaced by a completely new bone by a process called resorption.





54 bones are present in both hands and wrists and 58 bones are present in both feet out of total 206 bones.The only bone that is full grown in the body at the time of the birth is the ear bone.





Have you ever heard of disease called Disease of bone disappearance. Yes the bone totally disappears in Gorhams Disease and all that is left in the xray after the fracture of the bone is a void space because the bone is totally resorped.





A block of bone can carry about 9 tons of weight. A cubic inch of a bone can bear about 19,000 I lbs of weight.



Foot bones are the most fragile bones.

.Bone is comparable to steel in strength but amazingly it is more elastic than steel.

Some of the interesting medical facts i know are related to the musculoskeletal system.....which means the muscle and skeletal system.....



(1).....There is about 1kg of calcium in 206 bones.
Compact (cortical) bone specimens have been found to have tensile strength in the range of 700–1,400 kg per square cm (10,000–20,000 pounds per square inch) and compressive strengths in the range of 1,400–2,100 kg per square cm (20,000–30,000 pounds per square inch). .

These values are of the same general order as for aluminum or mild steel, but bone has an advantage over such materials in that it is considerably lighter. 


Femur is the most strongest bone of the body yet it is hollow and 75% water.Femur is the longest bone of the body making 1/4th of the total body length while Stirrup(an ear bone) is the shortest bone making it about 1/10th of an inch.Teeth are even stronger than femur but they are not considered bones.

1: Rigos Mortis::This is a marked stiff muscular contraction after death.This as been the explanation behind the reason why dead people are heavy when people wants to carry them.
On the molecular basis; contractive pull on action and myosin(functional muscle unit)requires ATP(cellular respiration) to be released but this was inhibit with the stop on it which is death..

Am opening this thread for the purpose of science students..
Recent research have been able to provide answer to most of some phenomena that appears like a mistery to us.
