Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity01:12

Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity

2.9K
Elastic fiber contains the protein elastin along with lesser amounts of other proteins and glycoproteins. The main property of elastin is that it will return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. Elastic fibers are prominent in elastic tissues found in skin and the elastic ligaments of the vertebral column.
Ligaments and tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue, but in ligaments not all fibers are parallel. Dense regular elastic tissue contains elastin fibers and...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

2.9K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Members Made of Elastoplastic Material

275
The behavior of elastoplastic materials under bending stresses, particularly in structural members with rectangular cross-sections, is crucial for predicting material responses and understanding failure modes. Initially, when a bending moment is applied, the stress distribution across the section follows Hooke's Law and is linear and elastic. This distribution means the stress increases from the neutral axis to the maximum at the outer fibers, up to the elastic limit.
As the bending moment...

Muscles of the Eye01:20

Muscles of the Eye

3.0K
The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and...

Elastic Collisions: Case Study01:15

Elastic Collisions: Case Study

18.4K
Elastic collision of a system demands conservation of both momentum and kinetic energy. To solve problems involving one-dimensional elastic collisions between two objects, the equations for conservation of momentum and conservation of internal kinetic energy can be used. For the two objects, the sum of momentum before the collision equals the total momentum after the collision. An elastic collision conserves internal kinetic energy, and so the sum of kinetic energies before the collision equals...

Elastic Collisions: Introduction01:00

Elastic Collisions: Introduction

14.5K
An elastic collision is one that conserves both internal kinetic energy and momentum. Internal kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energies of the objects in a system. Truly elastic collisions can only be achieved with subatomic particles, such as electrons striking nuclei. Macroscopic collisions can be very nearly, but not quite, elastic, as some kinetic energy is always converted into other forms of energy such as heat transfer due to friction and sound. An example of a nearly...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Exercise bands are common fitness tools.
  • Blunt ocular trauma can result from exercise equipment malfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the mechanism and clinical features of eye injuries caused by elastic exercise bands.
  • To characterize ocular trauma from exercise band recoil.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients treated for blunt ocular trauma.
  • Inclusion criteria: ocular trauma from exercise band recoil (2013-2020).

Main Results:

  • 13 eyes from 11 patients experienced trauma from exercise bands.
  • Common injuries included traumatic iritis, angle recession, vitreous hemorrhage, and commotio retinae.
  • 23% of affected eyes required surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Exercise band injuries can cause a range of severe ocular pathologies.
  • Protective eyewear (sports goggles) and equipment maintenance are recommended.
  • Preventing blunt ocular trauma from exercise bands is crucial.
