Question

8. Describe how we use the concepts of stress and strain to understand the mechanical behavior of bone tissue. Include a definition of both and how they are calculated.

9. How does a muscle cause torque? How do we calculate the net torque for two muscles with opposing actions? Give an example using math.

Answer 1

8. Bone tissue is the hard tissue that is formed of dense connective tissue. These are the honeycomb-like structure which helps to provide the rigidity to the bone. The bone tissue is remodeled and includes osteoclast. They are generally acting in the form of mechanosensory for the bone remodeling process. Bone tissue formation work under the process which is under the control of systematic factors that together contribute to the remodeling process.

The concept of stress and strain features of macroscopic tissue and the muscle cell that act to influence the mechanical behavior of the bone. The compact bone possesses the tensile strength with modulating the elasticity and hardness of the bone. Both are calculated by observing the spaces and scalp between the bone. The bone erosion composed of compact cortical Bone and trabecular Bone.

9. Muscle torque is the form of force which is applied by the muscle with the moment arm at the given length. To calculate the muscle torque one can observe the multiplication of lever arm and force. By using the intake of cold air and different forms of torque in biomechanics may leads to cause the maximization of the amount of torque of the muscles.

To calculate the net torque of two different muscles with the opposite action can be calculated by the force component. By calculating the length of Limb and muscle group we can determine the difference that can be applied. We can also calculate the net torque by the force of bicep muscles and the angle between the forearm and upper arm.

By using math,we can calculate it as--Torque =Lever Arm x Force sin
