[glassamphibians]

my skeleton is a mesh of silica spicules btw. if you even care.

[elftwink]

i got my wisdom teeth removed on saturday and there is so much to complain about. first of all we have a tylenol shortage rn apparently so i was given EIGHT (8) total painkillers of which i have been rationing and am almost out of so i am just taking regular extra strength tylenol which sort of works but not as well

second of all i can't have rice for a WHOLE MONTH. which sucks because prior to this my diet was about 80% sushi so idk how im replacing that. soup broth probably. but it's not the same :(

third of all the little pamphlet they sent me home with contains the VERY concerning sentence "bone spicules may often work out of the surgical site for several months". and like that's fine objectively it's to be expected and will not cause me any harm. but also. hate that!

Dental Bone Spurs | Bone Spicule | Gum Bone Spurs | Bony Lump On Gums

Experiencing discomfort or pain in your mouth possibly due to a dental bone spur? Look no further! This blog post will explore everything you need to know about dental bone spurs – from causes and symptoms to treatment options and prevention methods. Stay informed and discover insights to alleviate concerns and find relief. Continue reading to uncover the latest news and updates on dental bone spurs to better care for your oral health.

What are Dental Bone Spurs?

Dental bone spurs, also known as exostosis, are common conditions characterized by small bony lump on gums. These bone spurs, or bone spicules, can develop due to various factors like trauma, infection, or excessive pressure on the jaw. While often harmless, they may occasionally cause discomfort or irritation in the mouth.

Symptoms of Dental Bone Spurs

- Discomfort or pain in the affected area.

- Swelling and tenderness around the gum line.

- Difficulty chewing or irritation while brushing teeth.

Causes of Dental Bone Spurs

Various factors can contribute to the development of dental bone spurs:

1. Bone spur after tooth extraction: Following tooth extraction, gum bone spurs may form as part of the body's natural healing process. While usually small and not concerning, they might cause discomfort.

2. Improper post-extraction care: Infections or inadequate oral hygiene after extraction can disrupt healing and lead to abnormal bone growth.

3. Pre-existing conditions: Conditions like periodontal disease or gum infections may increase the risk of bone spur development post-extraction.

4. Anatomical factors: Thin jawbones or irregular tooth placement can predispose individuals to bone spur formation after extractions due to pressure exertion during the procedure.

How to Get Rid of Bone Spurs After Tooth Extraction

- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.

- Apply ice to reduce swelling and avoid touching the affected area.

- Stick to soft foods and maintain good oral hygiene.

- Consult your dentist if the bone spur persists or causes discomfort.

Treatment Options for Dental Bone Spurs

- Surgery performed by a dentist to remove the bone spur.

- Application of topical oral gels or creams to soothe discomfort and reduce inflammation.

- Prescription of pain medications if necessary.

Remember to consult a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.

Lifestyle to Follow & Avoid To manage dental gum bone spurs effectively:

Follow:

- Maintain good oral hygiene.

- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush.

- Rinse with salt water or mouthwash.

- Seek professional diagnosis and treatment.

Avoid:

- Attempting to remove the bone spur yourself.

- Poking or prodding at the bony lump.

- Ignoring the issue, as it can lead to complications.

Chondrocladia is a genus of carnivorous demosponges of the family Cladorhizidae. Neocladia was long considered a junior synonym, but recently become accepted as a distinct genus.

33 named species are placed in this genus at present, but at least two additional undescribed ones are known to exist, while some of the described ones are known only from a few specimens or (e.g. the enigmatic Chondrocladia occulta) just a single one, and their validity and/or placement in Chondrocladia is doubtful. Chondrocladia sponges are stipitate, with a stalk frequently anchored in the substrate by rhizoids and an egg-shaped body, sometimes with branches that end in inflatable spheres.

Fossils assignable to this genus are known since the Pleistocene, less than 2 million years ago. But given its deep sea habitat, Chondrocladia may well have been around for much longer – perhaps since the Mesozoic, as characteristic spicules (termed "microcricorhabds" or "trochirhabds"), almost identical to those of some living Chondrocladia, are known from Early Jurassic rocks almost 200 million years old.

I fucking love sponges man. I love how Not an animal they are with all their weird quirks and such yet still count because of their special totipotent cells and amoeboid cells, and frankly if I got to see a barrel sponge in its natural habitat I would either scream and jump and cheer or begin courting it due to my love of all sponges. Did you know sponges have spicules? They’re made of calcium and dispersed throughout the mesohyl as a way to help keep its shape along with the pinacoderm, just like an exoskeleton. BTW if I don’t get a sponge something bad will happen to me

you mentioned wyrms retract the human-ish head to eat, do you have an idea of how that works, anatomically? I'm trying to imagine a cross section of those necks with separate tubes for air, food, the head and the spine. does the head get packed tight in some kind of sleeve? It would be really cool to see that cross section

(also would love to know more about the time Rev spent as a disembodied head, that must have been really weird)

well i was meaning to draw it anyway

the "human" portion (referred to as the head yes all of it) has its own heart, lungs, and accessory oesophagus, though it doesn't have its own stomach. there's a little crop which is the remains of the human stomach, kind of like an appendix now really. the accessory oesophagus (green) connects to the main crop in the chest area, running parallel to the dragon oesophagus but not attaching to it. when the head is out, the dragon mouth is occupied anyway so it doesn't need to eat and the oesophagus is a squishy tube that is collapsed when not in use (unlike the trachea) so there's no issues with space here, it's fine.

the lungs in the head area are only minorly used for gas exchange - they provide very little oxygen, really, but enough to keep that human part running in a very hypoxic state in the case of decapitation. Mostly they're just used to draw air over the vocal chords. If the lungs in the main body were compromised somehow, the wyrm would straight up cease to function (not death. but comatose), while if the head lungs broke, eh nbd it just means no voice until they heal. there is a syrinx inside the chest cavity which provides additional vocals - deep infrasound rumbles. the main lungs are gigantic and in larger wyrms will extend further into the body. in the case of multiple heads, there are multiple syrinxes where the tracheas connect to the lungs and that means they can produce polyphonic rumbles :) breathing is done through the dragon nostrils, there's a sizeable cavity there for their good sense of smell. in case you are wondering how they sync up their breaths when there's multiple heads, the lungs are birdlike in that it's a series of air sacs and a passive inhalation, and an active exhalation governed by different lobes of the lung at once (using the air sacs). each head has its own lobe. so the wyrm is in a constant state of inhaling and exhaling at different rates (if there's multiple heads)

the dragon oesophagus is the main one and it leads to a crop, which is where the wyrm denatures the powerful toxins of their prey and forms a pellet out of the inedible mandibles and spicules found within a crawling beast. this is spat up later and buried (no longer poisonous so nbd). edible portions go to the stomach. the liver is very big and very strong, it's almost impossible to poison a wyrm in any way (including drugs, alcohol, etc)

so the thing about the wyrms is that the number of legs is variable, Revelation obviously has two, Onozar has four. But the two that Revelation has are actually its forelegs! The torso extends quite a bit into what we would consider the Tail area, it's rather snakelike.

as a disembodied head, Rev had no heart, no functioning lungs, and was also completely paralysed because of the severed nerve cord in its (human) neck. literally from the jaw down it couldn't move, which is what made it such a convincing corpse. life was very underwhelming for it since it was essentially running on extreme battery saver mode, always watching and sensing the world but never truly perceiving what it saw and heard and felt. animals made nests in its chest cavity, and it was infested with scavenging worms for a while, but its own flesh is distasteful to other living beings and nothing did enough damage to actually cause decomposition. just some nasty wounds.

Rev needed Wildfire to literally rip up a crawler and put the meat in its mouth before any attempts at healing could be made. when it finally got its lungs working again it found they were full of detritus - dust, spores, roots, random stuff. growing back the lower body would have taken decades more if it continued at the same pace, so it used a little bit of magic and Wildfire's other tiercels' flesh to construct the most basic shape of its lower body, and once it had those bits intact it could start properly gaining strength and growing.

Dense, dark, and pleasantly cool in the muggy heat of early summer, glass thickets are a type of forested environment found in the wetter climates of birgworld. So called because the trunks of the “trees” are given structure by a honeycomb lattice of silica spicules, whose bleached branches glitter like fine sand in the afternoon sun. The canopy forms a dense, protective mat overhead, sheltering all manner of creatures from the outside elements, including this lonely Puyok forager. They tread cautiously, alert to their surroundings. The air hums with the peeps, clicks, and trills of hundreds of unseen creatures; it would be easy to miss rustle of unseen footsteps, just as the gloom of the forest masks even large creatures from view…

Round 1 - Phylum Porifera

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

The Phylum Porifera includes the sponges, also called sea sponges.

These animals are filter feeders that are bound to the sea bed in their adult forms, though some have free-swimming larva. Many species are important for building reefs. Their bodies consist of a mass of collagen jelly (called mesohyl) sandwiched between two main layers of cells. But they are not soft! Most sponges’ bodies are full of sharpened structural elements called spicules, which are made of either silica or calcium carbonate, so any predator biting into a sponge would get the same sensation as biting into shards of glass. Some sponges also have exoskeletons. Most sponges filter food particles via water flowing through their barrels and pores, but some sponges are carnivorous, using either sticky threads or barbed spicules to catch prey. Sponges may have been the first animals, and fossils of them date back to the Cambrian.

Propaganda under the cut:

Sponges could teach us how life began on earth.

As filter-feeding omnivores that feed on detritus, plankton, bacteria, and in some cases crustaceans and other small animals, sponges are an important part of the nutrient cycle in the ocean. Some are also symbiotic to other organisms, like algae, and provide homes for many reef animals.

Glass sponges, with skeletons of six-pointed siliceous spicules, are one of the longest lived animals on earth, with a possible maximum age of around 15,000 years!

While the spicules of most sponges render them too rough for human use, species in the genera Hippospongia and Spongia have soft, fibrous skeletons. Early Europeans used these dried out skeletons for many purposes, including cleaning, padding helmets, filtering water, painting, and even as contraceptives. The sponge industry almost brought these species to extinction, so nowadays most kitchen sponges are made of synthetic or plant-based material.

As revealed in the stage musical, the beloved cartoon character Spongebob Squarepants is an Aplysina fistularis (common name: yellow tube sponge), seen in the first image of this post.

I think I finally landed on a Lute design I’m happy with. Still need to work on the armor though.

I know a golden eagle would fit better thematically, but also…. osprey are really cool!

They have special adaptations regarding their claws wherein they can rotate one of its three toes to bend backwards to allow for better grip on fish. They also have sharp spicules on the underside of their talons to allow for this extra grip. Kinda like with the adaptation of suckers on giant squid. They also have incredible eyesight, and are able to see through the glare of sun on the water to catch fish.

The coolest thing though is despite them being called "river hawks," they're actually in their own family called Falconiformes!
