Regulation Bone resorption is highly stimulated or inhibited by signals from other parts of the body, depending on the demand for calcium.

So we have these alveolar sacs that I talked about and they're in these little clumps like this.

If the cleft extends into the maxillary alveolar ridge, the gap is usually corrected by filling the gap with bone tissue.

Bone resorption is the process by which osteoclasts break down bone and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone fluid to the blood.

Xenon has a minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of 72 at age 40, making it 44 more potent than N2O as an anesthetic.

Dry socket (Alveolar osteitis) is a painful phenomenon that most commonly occurs a few days after the removal of mandibular (lower) wisdom teeth.

In the last video on the lungs or the gas exchange in our bodies or on the pulmonary system, we left off with the alveolar sacs.

The authors showed that subclinical nephrotoxicity occurred following methoxyflurane at minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) for 2.5 to 3 hours (2.5 to 3 MAC hours), while overt toxicity was present in all patients at dosages greater than five MAC hours.

And then of course we have our bronchiole that feeds into this, and then that might have branched off from another one that feeds into another set of alveolar sacs, but I don't want to get too focused on that.

Two nerves are typically of concern, and are found in duplicate (one left and one right) 1. the inferior alveolar nerve, which enters the mandible at the mandibular foramen and exits the mandible at the sides of the chin from the mental foramen.

Evidence of decline in lung function as measured by pulmonary function testing can occur as quickly as 24 hours of continuous exposure to 100 oxygen, with evidence of diffuse alveolar damage and the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome usually occurring after 48 hours on 100 oxygen.
