Muscle contractions then push the stool toward the rectum, and, by the time the stool reaches the rectum, most of the water has been absorbed, making the stool solid. When the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, the stool moves through the colon too slowly, resulting in too much water being absorbed.
The microparticulate allograft is a mixture of mineralized cortical bone particles of a standard combination of sizes between 100 and than 250 microns. This provides an optimal scaffold for delivering osteoinductive growth factors. This preparation has an appropriate 3-dimensional (3-D) structure
X-ray microtomography. 3D rendering of a ÂµCT scan of a leaf piece, resolution circa 40 Âµm/voxel. X-ray microtomography, like tomography and x-ray computed tomography, uses x-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object that can be used to recreate a virtual model (3D model) without destroying the original object. The prefix micro- (symbol: Âµ) is used to indicate that the pixel sizes of the cross-sections are in the micrometre range.
