Causes of ganglion cysts. The causes of ganglion cysts are still not known. The cysts appear to grow from joints like a balloon on a stalk and tend to develop in areas where a joint or tendon naturally bulge out of place. There are, however, three main categories of risk factor: 1  Age and sex: ganglion cysts can affect anyone at any time, but they are most commonly found to occur in females aged 20-30. 2  Joint or tendon injury: areas injured in the past are more likely to develop ganglion cysts.
equilibrium; chemical equilibrium. Hypernyms (equilibrium is a kind of...): chemical reaction; reaction ((chemistry) a process in which one or more substances are changed into others) Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of equilibrium): poise (a state of being balanced in a stable equilibrium) Nash equilibrium ((game theory) a stable state of a system that involves several interacting participants in which no participant can gain by a change of strategy as long as all the other participants remain unchanged)
It exists when a chemical compound in the solid state is in chemical equilibrium with a solution of that compound. The solid may dissolve unchanged, with dissociation or with chemical reaction with another constituent of the solvent, such as acid or alkali. Each type of equilibrium is characterized by a temperature-dependent equilibrium constant.
