Dosage form

 Dosage Forms: - Dosage forms are the carrier through which drug molecules are delivered to sites of action within the body. - Every dosage forms is a combination of the drug and different kinds of non–drug components called as Excipients or additives. - The additives are used to give a particular shape to the formulation, to increase stability, palatability & more elegance to preparations. TYPES OF DOSAGE FORM 1. Solid dosage forms            2. Liquid dosage forms 3. Semi-solid dosage forms 1. Solid dosage forms  Tablets: 1. These are solid unit dosage forms of medicaments intended for oral administration which are prepared by molding or by compression with or without excipient 2. The tablets can be prepared by two methods namely as a I) Dry granulation, II) Wet Granulation Capsule: 1. Capsules are solid unit dosage forms in which one or more medicaments enclosed within a gelatin shell. 2. Capsules mainly divided into two parts namely as – B...

Types Of Bone

                         TYPES OF BONE

  1. Long bones - femur bone 
  2. flat bones - frontal bone 
  3. short bones - carpals and tarsals
  4. irregular bones - vertebrae
  5. sesamoid bones - patellae 

Bones


                                                               

                                                                     (1).Long bones


The long bones, longer than they are wide, including the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as relatively small bones in the fingers. Long bones function to support the weight of the body and facilitate movement. Long bones are mostly located in the appendicular skeleton and include bones in the lower limbs (the tibia, fibula, femur, metatarsals, and phalanges) and bones in the upper limbs (the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges. 
                       (2)flat bone
The term “flat bone” is somewhat of a misnomer because, although a flat bone is typically thin, it is also often curved. Examples include the cranial (skull) bones, the scapulae (shoulder blades), the sternum (breastbone), and the ribs. Flat bones serve as points of attachment for muscles and often protect internal organ

(3)short bone


short bone is one that is cube-like in shape, being approximately equal in length, width, and thickness. The only short bones in the human skeleton are in the carpals of the wrists and the tarsals of the ankles. Short bones provide stability and support as well as some limited motion.

  (4)irregular bones 

An irregular bone is one that does not have any easily characterized shape and therefore does not fit any other classification. These bones tend to have more complex shapes, like the vertebrae that support the spinal cord and protect it from compressive forces. Many facial bones, particularly the ones containing sinuses, are classified as irregular bones.

(5)sesamoid bones


sesamoid bone is a small, round bone that, as the name suggests, is shaped like a sesame seed. These bones form in tendons (the sheaths of tissue that connect bones to muscles) where a great deal of pressure is generated in a joint. The sesamoid bones protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces. Sesamoid bones vary in number and placement from person to person but are typically found in tendons associated with the feet, hands, and knees.
