Milia are small, white cysts commonly seen around the cheeks. Overview. Milia are commonly found on the skin of people of all ages. They are formed when keratin (a substance produced by the skin) becomes entrapped beneath the outer layer of the skin, forming a tiny cyst. An individual milium (the singular of milia) is formed at the base of a hair follicle or sweat gland.
The basic first level structure of cortical bone are osteons. Trabecular bone is much more porous with porosity ranging anywhere from 50% to 90%. It is found in the end of long bones (see picture above), in vertebrae and in flat bones like the pelvis. Its basic first level structure is the trabeculae. III.
An osteoclast (from the Greek words for bone (á½ÏÏÎ­Î¿Î½), and broken (ÎºÎ»Î±ÏÏÏÏ)) is a type of bone cell that breaks down bone tissue. This function is critical in the maintenance, repair, and remodelling of bones of the vertebral skeleton.The osteoclast disassembles and digests the composite of hydrated protein and mineral at a molecular level by secreting acid and a collagenase, a process known as bone resorption.his function is critical in the maintenance, repair, and remodelling of bones of the vertebral skeleton.
