Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves01:24

Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves

1.8K
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is a crucial component of the body's neural network, extending beyond the central nervous system (CNS) to bridge the gap between the CNS and the external environment. It encompasses nerves, ganglia, and sensory receptors.
Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...

Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

4.3K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

3.1K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.5K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Gross Anatomy of Bone01:17

Gross Anatomy of Bone

5.0K
The two main features of a long bone are the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

10.9K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a benign gingival growth. Surgical excision is the treatment, but yearly follow-ups are crucial due to its high recurrence rate.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Oral surgery

Background:

  • Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a benign, slow-growing gingival lesion.
  • It originates from the gingiva, periosteum, or periodontal ligament.

Observation:

  • A case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 26-year-old female.
  • The lesion presented as a gingival growth in the anterior mandible.
  • Clinical diagnosis was challenging, necessitating pathological evaluation.

Findings:

  • Pathological confirmation of peripheral ossifying fibroma.
  • Surgical excision up to the periosteum was performed.
  • Recurrence rates for POF range from 8% to 20%.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for effective treatment.
  • Complete surgical removal is the primary treatment modality.
  • Long-term patient monitoring is essential to detect potential recurrences.
