    Sammanfattning : This is a study of hunters and seals in the Stone Age in the Baltic. The ambition has been to develop and utilize methods for osteological analyses of archaeological seal bones. The main aims of the zooarchaeological analyses have been to study seal hunting strategies and the formation processes of the faunal remains. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The role of estrogen in growth plate chondrogenesis

    Författare :Ola Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Overall body proportion is determined by the size of the skeleton, which in turn is determined by the rate and duration of longitudinal bone growth. Longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate and is regulated by a variety of hormones and growth factors. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : More than 300 years ago Dr. Stephen Hales drilled holes in the shaft of chicken bones and noted that as the animal grew, the distance between these holes remained constant. This led him to conclude that longitudinal bone growth occurs at the end of the long bones, rather than in the middle. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Regulation of growth plate and articular chondrocyte differentiation : implications for longitudinal bone growth and articular cartilage formation

    Sammanfattning : Overall height and body proportions in humans are determined primarily by bone growth. Linear bone growth occurs at the growth plate, a thin layer of cartilage at the ends of long bones between the epiphysis and metaphysis. LÄS MER
