Intervertebral Disc Tissues,ly on the vertebral bodies. A central fluid-like nucleus pulposus region is surrounded by a tough laminated annulus fibrosus. Because adult discs lack a blood or nerve supply, cell density is very low and tissue turnover is very slow. Consequently, discs have only a limited ability to heal following

Mechanical Properties of Aging Skeletal Muscle, sarcopenia, characterized by losses in muscle mass, force generation, contractile velocity, and power. Total force generation is the primary indicator of skeletal muscle strength, and is the summation of the active force produced by muscle fibers and a passive force from the tissue stretching. The

Biomechanics of the Aging Lung Parenchyma,rioration in its ability to take up and distribute oxygen uniformly in the parenchyma compromises the cardiovascular system and hence contributes to the aging of the organism. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the biochemical, structural, and biomechanical properties of the aging lung paren

Effects of Aging on the Cellular Function, Healing, and Mechanical Properties of Ligaments,ar function in aging ligaments include alterations in expression of growth factor and growth factor receptors, reduced cellular density during healing, and a cellular phenotype during healing that favors degradation of the extracellular matrix. Changes in the extracellular matrix structure include a
