Bone Cell Function: A Review, Hoai Nam Nguyen, Naruepon Kampa
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Bone is dynamic tissue which is continuously formed and absorbed by its own cells in response to stimuli such as hormones, mechanical loading and growth factors. Understanding the function of bone cells is important, not only in orthopedic field but also in research study involving bone. Bone cells work in harmony to maintain a balance between bone formation and resorption, ultimately to control bone structure and function. Osteoblasts are cells, which contribute to deposition of organic components of bone extracellular matrix. They control recruitment, differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts that participate in resorption activity. In addition, osteoclasts associated with bone …

Indices Of Myocardial Contractility, Anusak Kijtawornrat
Indices Of Myocardial Contractility, Anusak Kijtawornrat
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Myocardial contractility is defined as the velocity of cycling of heavy meromyosin cross-bridges. Contractility may be defined also as the velocity of myocardial fiber shortening or change in ventricular dimension during contraction when the fiber shortens or the ventricle contracts against no load. In the clinic; however, myocardial contractility may be estimated by some parameters of systolic function adjusted for the degree of stretch on the fibers (the preload) just before contraction begins and the hindrance to ejection of blood (the afterload). Excitation-contraction coupling is a physicochemical process during which electrophysiological changes (initiated by depolarization of the cell) translate to …
