Preferred collagen fiber orientation in the human mid-shaft femur.
Collagen fiber orientation is one aspect of the microstructure of bone that influences its mechanical properties. While the spatial distribution of preferentially oriented collagen is hypothesized to reflect the effects of loading during the process of aging, its variability in a modern human sample is essentially unknown. In a large sample (n = 67) of autopsied adults, the variability of colla...
متن کاملModerately Degenerated Human Intervertebral Disks Exhibit a Less Geometrically Specific Collagen Fiber Orientation Distribution
STUDY DESIGN Collagen fiber orientation analysis in moderately degenerated human cadaveric annulus fibrosus (AF) tissue samples. OBJECTIVE Little is known about the changes in tissue architecture during early degeneration of intervertebral disks (IVDs). As collagen organization strongly affects the disk function, the objective of this study was to quantify the AF collagen orientation and its ...
متن کاملRemodelling of the angular collagen fiber distribution in cardiovascular tissues
Understanding collagen fiber remodelling is desired to optimize the mechanical conditioning protocols in tissue-engineering of load-bearing cardiovascular structures. Mathematical models offer strong possibilities to gain insight into the mechanisms and mechanical stimuli involved in these remodelling processes. In this study, a framework is proposed to investigate remodelling of angular collag...
متن کاملQuantitative Mapping of Collagen Fiber Orientation in Non - Glaucoma and 1 Glaucoma Posterior Human
1 Purpose: The posterior sclera has a major biomechanical influence on the optic nerve 2 head, and may therefore be important in glaucoma. Scleral material properties are 3 influenced significantly by collagen fiber architecture. Here we quantitatively map fiber 4 orientation in non-glaucoma and glaucoma posterior human scleras. 5 Methods: Wide-angle x-ray scattering quantified fiber orientatio...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of the distribution of collagen fiber recruitment
The passive biomechanical behavior of blood vessels is generally modeled by a parallel arrangement of elastin and collagen, with collagen recruitment depending on vessel strain. We experimentally determined the collagen recruitment distribution using confocal microscopy. Digital images from sections of rabbit carotid artery under increasing circumferential stretch ratio were acquired. The strai...
