Osteocyte lacuna population densities in sheep, elk and horse calcanei.
Osteocytes, the most prevalent cell type in bone, appear to communicate via gap junctions. In limb-bone diaphyses, it has been hypothesized that these cellular networks have the capacity to monitor habitual strains, which can differ significantly between cortical locations of the same bone. Regional differences in microdamage associated with prevalent/predominant strain mode (tension, compressi...
متن کاملEnergy metabolism, body size, and problems of scaling.
v_ywiNG to Max Kleibcr's lucid contributions, the lubjecl of energy metabolism and body size is one of the best studied and understood within the extensive field of comparative physiology. This is symbolized in Fig. I, where wc can sec our old friend Gulliver, as well as a Lilliputian who is walking down the cobblestone street. The immediate problem that the Lilliputian emperor had thrust upon ...
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...

Mechanical factors affect bone remodeling such that increased mechanical demand results in net bone formation, whereas decreased demand results in net bone resorption. Two proposed mechanical signals are stress-generated fluid flow forces acting on cells and bone matrix deformation itself. A prominent current theory is that bone cells are more responsive to fluid flow than to mechanical strain....
متن کاملScaling body size fluctuations.
The size of an organism matters for its metabolic, growth, mortality, and other vital rates. Scale-free community size spectra (i.e., size distributions regardless of species) are routinely observed in natural ecosystems and are the product of intra- and interspecies regulation of the relative abundance of organisms of different sizes. Intra- and interspecies distributions of body sizes are thu...
