Cancers that originate in the bone, called primary bone cancers, are very rare. They most often occur in children and adolescents. Cancerous tumors in the bone “eat” their way through surrounding structures and spread quickly around the body, so early diagnosis is essential. If detected early, surgery can be carried out to remove the tumor, and most patients have only a slight chance of the disease recurring within five years, and after that recurrence is not likely. However, most cases are not diagnosed early and the prognosis is not good.

The causes of primary bone cancer are not yet known, but there may be a genetic link because it often seems to run in families. This form of cancer most often occurs in the leg, with it painful swelling just above or below the knee. The pain may be worse while standing or while in bed at night. Read the rest of this entry »

There are about 640 skeletal muscles in the body, forming up to half of the body’s weight. Muscles cover the framework of the skeleton Skeletal muscles to give the body its shape. link two bones and pass across the joint between them. Each muscle is made up of muscle fibres that can be up to 30 cm 12 in) long but are thinner than a hair. There are three different types of muscle: Read the rest of this entry »

The bones of the skeleton provide structural support for the body and work with the muscles to move it. Bones also have other functions:

The ends of the bones meeting at synovial joints are covered with a thin layer of cartilage to stop them grinding against each other. They are lubricated, to allow smooth by a thin layer of fluid called Synovial fluid. The ligaments are strong fibrous strips that hold bones together at the joint them from moving too far apart.

The musculoskeletal system is made up of the bones of the skeleton, joints that link the bones together and the muscles that enable the body to move. At birth, a baby has around 350 bones, some of which rise together as it grows. Adults usually have 206 bones, though some have extra ribs and others have fewer. The body’s larges bone is the femur in the thigh and its smallest is the tiny stapes in the ear. The muscles and ligaments act with the bones to produce a range of movements, from precision threading of a needle to the most vigorous exercise. Read the rest of this entry »
