Medical Mystery III

You're on a roll here... that's right...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I think is the alveolus in the lungs.
It's the alveoli, the terminal structure in the lower respiratory tract which is involved in gaseous exchange, collapses on expiration and expands on inspiration.
The structure may collapse permanently if the bronchus proximally is obstructed by a lesion, which could be a tumor (lung cancer), a foreign body (organic or non organic) or a simple tuberculous lesion.
Well done! -
It grows anywhere, caused by any prolonged infection, history of irradiation.......Originally posted by alfagal:clue lehz...

NEW MYSTERY
I am four, sometimes 6
I make the bowtie my house
Each of us are quite far apart
North South East and West
We are everywhere in that land
We can be notorious if we want to
We eat up the bone slowly but surely
If anywhere in the body
Is a stimulus that keeps us going
We are small
But we are significant
We keep things in check in both bone and blood
What are we?
MYSTERY SOLVED -

NEW MYSTERY
We are springy
We can stretch very far
And then rebounce back to normal
We adhere to the Hooke's Law
Too much of pulling
And we'd cause you a certain amount of pain
But we recover really fast
Just a simple menthol or mintlike cream
Gives us relief and keeps you going in no time
What are we?

Yes, there is one hormone that does this job, and another one that keeps it in balance...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Hormones that eat up the bone???

On fire?Originally posted by alfagal:wow xiaomayi is on fire today!
Don't want to kill myself.
Just kidding.
Today mysteries just as hard. Haizz. -
Not really, these are cells that produces lytic enzymes (osteoclast to be exact) to eat up the bone, not hormonal... certainly not, but the hormone stimulates these cells and keep them in action...Originally posted by hisoka:osteoblast? or osteocytes or something??
Osteoblast is a progenitor cell which means it can differentiate into either an osteocyte or another bone cells that I've forgotten. Osteoclast is not deduced from here as it is a white blood cell, a macrophage... -
