Question
hink about a hypothetical bone or joint that you could design, 3D/Tissue print and implement into a human body that would improve the quality of life for an average, healthy human. You should be able to describe this bone or joint in the most anatomically accurate way from the tissues and cell types that you have studied (think what kind of cells and tissues would the cross section of this organ would have and why would it have those particular tissue and cell types.) This bone or jointmust have a GENUINE FUNCTION AND NEED. You should be able to justify that need. You should also be able to show how this "new" bone or joint would interact with at least one pre-existing part (bone or organ or muscle ...) of your body.Explanation / Answer
If I have to design a hypothetical bone or joint for average healthy individual, then I'll design an extra bone in rib cage. It will increase the strength of the rib cage which provide a guard to our most important organs like heart and both the lungs. The attachments of this bone will be scapula medial border laterally and sternum lateral border medially. Along with existing ribs ,It will also provide physical strength to rib cage which is easily fractured in accidents and causes flail chest, which is a life threatening condition.
