This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage,
tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the
mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the
biological properties of skeletal tissue or require mathematics
beyond calculus. Time is taken to introduce basic mechanical and
biological concepts, and the approaches used for some of the
engineering analyses are purposefully limited. The book is an
effective bridge between engineering, veterinary, biological and
medical disciplines and will be welcomed by students and
researchers in biomechanics, orthopedics, physical anthropology,
zoology and veterinary science. This book also: Maximizes reader
insights into the mechanical properties of bone, fatigue and
fracture resistance of bone and mechanical adaptability of the
skeleton Illustrates synovial joint mechanics and mechanical
properties of ligaments and tendons in an easy-to-understand way
Provides exercises at the end of each chapter
Basic and Applied Bone Biology, Second Edition, provides an
overview of skeletal biology, from the molecular level, to the
organ level, including cellular control, interaction and response,
adaptive responses to various external stimuli, and the interaction
of the skeletal system with other metabolic processes in the body.
The book includes chapters that address how the skeleton can be
evaluated through the use of various imaging technologies,
biomechanical testing, histomorphometric analysis, and the use of
genetically-modified animal models. Each chapter delves deep into
the important details of topics covered to provide a solid
understanding of the basics of bone biology. Bone biology
researchers who also train undergraduate and graduate students in
the lab will use this book constantly to orient new students on the
basics of the field and as a background reference for many of the
technical aspects of qualification in bone biology (e.g.,
mechanics, histomorphometry, genetic modification, biochemistry,
etc.).
This book provides an overview of skeletal biology from the
molecular level to the organ level, including cellular control,
interaction and response; adaptive responses to various external
stimuli; the interaction of the skeletal system with other
metabolic processes in the body; and the effect of various disease
processes on the skeleton. The bookalso includes chapters that
address how the skeleton can be evaluated through the use of
various imaging technologies, biomechanical testing,
histomorphometric analysis, and the use of genetically modified
animal models.
Presents an in-depth overview of skeletal biology from the
molecular to the organ levelOffers "refresher" level content for
clinicians or researchers outside their areas of expertiseBoasts
editors and many chapter authors from Indiana and Purdue
Universities, two of the broadest and deepest programs in skeletal
biology in the US; other chapter authors include clinician
scientists from pharmaceutical companies that apply the basics of
bone biology"
