Quotes About Bone

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.

A forest is mystery but the desert is truth. Life pared to the bone.

Osteoporosis isn't a problem that gets a lot of attention, but it is deadly in older women. The weakening of their bones doesn't only result in cosmetic changes. The fragility means that a fall can be life-threatening.

El frío baja desmochado desde el hueso de luna del cielo.

Death's a sad bone; bruised, you'd say, and yet she waits for me, year after year, to so delicately undo an old wound

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.

We have known for many years that we need vitamin D to facilitate calcium absorption and promote bone mineralization.

Jacques La Borwitz had his points, no doubt, but so have the sub-microscopic protozoa, so has a dog prowling for a bitch and a bone. -Cecelia Brady

As we may know, osteoporosis affects around 10 million Americans, most of whom are over 55, and it is the cause of an estimated 1.5 million fractures annually.

We found that bone was an LED. Like many such materials, it required an outside source of light before an electric current would make it release its own light, and the light it emitted was at an infrared frequency invisible to us, but the effect was consistent and undeniable.

Two separate currents, then, one from the nerves and one from the bone matrix, were producing potentials of opposite polarity, which acted like the electrodes of a battery. These living electrodes were creating a complex field whose exact shape and strength reflected the position of the bone pieces. The limb was, in effect, taking its own X ray.

ELECTRIC FIELDS ALIGN COLLAGEN MOLECULES BONE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GUIDES GROWTH

Fortified by our new knowledge that electricity controlled growth in bone, we returned instead to the nerves, taking a closer look at how their currents stimulated regrowth.

Conversely, I believe low-current silver electrodes stimulate bone formation directly—by dedifferentiating the marrow cells and perhaps also by stimulating the periosteal cells.

By this time we'd also cleared up several more cases of osteomyelitis by reversing the battery and making the silver electrode positive for a day. It looked safe. There was no crossover of effects: When negative,the wire didn't make infectious bacteria grow, and when positive, it didn't destroy bone-forming cells or prevent them from growing when we switched the current to negative.

Like all other injuries, a fracture produced a current of injury, in this case derived from the nerves in and around the periosteum.* At the same time, the bone generated its own current piezoelectrically due to residual stress in the mangled apatite-collagen matrix. These signals combined to stimulate the cells that formed new bone.

It is something that is called MDS. It is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. I'm going to beat this. My doctors say it and my faith says it.

The human body was a thing of beauty because so many structures protected the heart, but she realized that the human heart simply could not be protected, not by muscle, not by bone, not by anything.

How was your bone-replacement surgery? asked Illyan. About what I expected, from having my legs done before. The ugliest part was opening my right arm and hand up to pick out all the bone fragments. Tedious. The left went a lot faster — the pieces were bigger.

The Man went to sleep in front of the fire ever so happy; but the Woman sat up, combing her hair. She took the bone of the shoulder of mutton – the big fat blade bone – and she looked at the wonderful marks on it, and she threw more wood on the fire, and she made a Magic. She made the first Singing Magic in the world.

For a wolf, no," said Tabaqui, "but for so mean a person as myself a dry bone is a good feast. Who are we, the Gidur-log [the jackal people], to pick and choose?" He scuttled to the back of the cave, where he found the bone of a buck with some meat on it, and sat cracking the end merrily.

This formation of man from soft clay, and of woman from a hard bone, also illustrated why man was so much more easily reconcilable than woman.

cartridge belts. Maybe wood smoke somewhere. Jacob was dark-eyed and pale. He had a young man's beard, only potential, the hint of black whiskers along his jaw looking like something black pressed under a thick pane of smoked glass. At one point he pulled off a glove with his teeth and left it dangling from his mouth as he, what?—opened a K ration? lit a cigarette? The condemned man's last. His bare hand was as white as bone, as small as a child's.

Sometime I'll lay down my wrath, As I lay my body down Between the ache of breath and breath, Golden slumber in the bone.
