  • What Are the Differences Between the Skeletons of a Human and a Bird?
    What are the differences between the skeletons of a human and a bird? The avian (bird) skeleton has many features that resemble the human skeleton, and the majority of the bones are the same, they are only shaped different. The arm bones of the human consist of the humerus, the radius and the ulna. These bones are also found in the bird. The leg consists of a long femur which attaches to the pelvis and then two bones of the lower leg. In the bird, these two bones: the tibia and fibula are fused together. The head of both birds and humans is protected by a large cranium. The upper jaw of the human, and the upper beak of the bird is composed of a bone called the maxilla. The lower jaw, and lower beak is composed of a bone called the mandible. The main difference between the human and bird skeleton is that the bird's skeleton is adapted for flight. The bones of a bird are hollow which makes the skeleton lighter. The other differences between the bird and human skeleton are very apparent in the pectoral girdle, which is the place where the forelimbs attach to the spine. The bird's forelimbs are wings and must have a strong support system. The collarbone of the bird is fused to form the furculum, or wishbone. The "shoulderblade" of the human is actually a bone called the scapula, birds have a scapula and they also have an additional shoulder blade bone called the corocoid. Another obvious difference between the human and bird skeleton is the shape and size of the sternum.

    DISSERTATION INVESTIGATION OF CATIONIC CONTRAST-ENHANCED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE EVALUATION OF EQUINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE Submitted by Bradley B. Nelson Department of Clinical Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2017 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Christopher E. Kawcak Co-Advisor: Laurie R. Goodrich C. Wayne McIlwraith Mark W. Grinstaff Myra F. Barrett Copyright by Bradley Bernard Nelson 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT INVESTIGATION OF CATIONIC CONTRAST-ENHANCED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE EVALUATION OF EQUINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE Osteoarthritis and articular cartilage injury are substantial problems in horses causing joint pain, lameness and decreased athleticism resonant of the afflictions that occur in humans. This debilitating joint disease causes progressive articular cartilage degeneration and coupled with a poor capacity to heal necessitates that articular cartilage injury is detected early before irreparable damage ensues. The use of diagnostic imaging is critical to identify and characterize articular cartilage injury, though currently available methods are unable to identify these early degenerative changes. Cationic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) uses a cationic contrast media (CA4+) to detect the early molecular changes that occur in the extracellular matrix. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within the extracellular matrix are important for the providing the compressive stiffness of articular cartilage and their degradation is an early event in the development of osteoarthritis. Cationic CECT imaging capitalizes on the electrostatic attraction between CA4+ and GAGs; exposing the proportional relationship between the amount of GAGs present within and the amount of CA4+ that diffuses into the tissue. The amount of CA4+ that resides in the tissue is then quantified through CECT imaging and estimates tissue integrity through nondestructive assessment.
