Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA): common joint disease that most often impacts individuals later in life
- Characterized by :
- breakdown of cartilage (the tissue that cushions the ends of the bones between joints)
- bony changes of the joints
- deterioration of tendons and ligaments
- various degrees of inflammation of the joint lining (called the synovium)
Osteoarthritis tends to occur in the hand joints, spine, hips, knees, and great toes.
Types of Bone Fractures
Common types of breaks include:
Transverse: breaks straight across the bone Stress fracture: a very thin crack, also called a hairline fracture Oblique: breaks at an angle Greenstick: breaks on one side, but bends on the other–like a fresh stick from a tree Comminuted: bone breaks into three or more pieces

Innate and Adaptive Immunity
There are 2 systems of immunity - innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Thank you @coffeeloveinglazyfox, for the suggestion!
Vertebral Column
Individual vertebrae are named according to their region and position. From top to bottom, the vertebrae are:
- Cervical spine: 7 vertebrae (C1–C7)
- Thoracic spine: 12 vertebrae (T1–T12)
- Lumbar spine: 5 vertebrae (L1–L5)
- Sacrum: 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1–S5)
- Coccyx: 4 (3–5) (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)
Hey! I love your art, you make it so visual and it's great for learning important stuff. Are you planning on doing any heart anatomy or bones of the body/certain regions? Thank you for making these amazing works of art! xx
@maryphil0516, Thank you! You’ve got great timing! I’ve been working on a heart anatomy piece and I’m almost done. It should be ready to share later today. I’ve been considering doing a bone structure of the hand or bone structure of the leg piece. Hopefully I’ll make up my mind and share these soon.
