Wake wazibuza ukuthi singazenza kanjani lezi zinto ngaphandle kokuba amathambo ethu akhuhlane noma alimale lapho sigijima, sigxuma, siphakamisa izinsimbi, noma senza imisebenzi yansuku zonke? Isizathu esiyinhloko salokhu yizicubu ezikhethekile ezibizwa ngokuthi 'i-cartilage' ezivikela amalunga ethu futhi ezitholakala phakathi kwamathambo. Kalula nje, zifana 'nesithako sokushaqeka' emzimbeni wethu.
Iyiphi inkonzo enikezwa yi-cartilage emizimbeni yethu?
I-cartilage iyizicubu ezixhumeneyo eziqinile, kodwa eziguquguqukayo ezivikela amathambo namalunga ethu. Ngokukhethekile, i-cartilage inemisebenzi emithathu eyinhloko.
- Ukuqeda ukushaqeka: Lokhu kugwinya ukucindezeleka, noma ukushaqeka, okufika emathanjeni nasemalungeni ethu ngesikhathi sokunyakaza njengokuhamba nokugijima. Cabanga ngakho, akukhona yini ukucindezeleka okuncane ezinyaweni zethu lapho sigxuma 'ngesicathulo sokugijima' esihle kunalapho sigxuma singenazicathulo? I-cartilage isebenza njengomqamelo 'kulowo' sicathulo ngaphakathi kwamalunga ethu.
- Ukunciphisa ukungqubuzana: I-cartilage ivimbela amathambo amabili ukuthi angagudlani ejoyintini, okuwasiza ukuthi ahambe kahle futhi kalula. Lokhu kuvimbela amathambo ukuthi angagugi.
- Izakhiwo ezisekelayo: I-cartilage isiza amalunga ethu ukuthi agcine isimo sawo futhi anyakaze. Iphinde isize ukuxhumanisa izicubu ezifana nemisipha yethu, imisipha, kanye nemisipha emathanjeni ethu.
Ngaphezu kwale misebenzi eyinhloko, i-cartilage nayo iyizicubu eziyinhloko kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba wethu. Isibonelo, impumulo yethu, ama-earlobes, kanye ne-trachea zenziwe nge-cartilage.
Yiziphi izinhlobo ze-cartilage ezikhona emzimbeni wethu?
Kunezinhlobo ezintathu eziyinhloko ze-cartilage emzimbeni wethu. Uhlobo ngalunye lunomsebenzi othize. Ake sibheke ukuthi ziyini.
| Uhlobo lwe-cartilage | Incazelo | Izindawo emzimbeni |
|---|---|---|
| I-Hyaline cartilage | Lolu uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-cartilage emizimbeni yethu. Lubushelelezi kakhulu futhi luyashelela, lusiza amathambo ukuba anyakaze ngaphandle kokugudlana. Nakuba luguquguquka, luqinile ngokwanele ukugcina isimo samalunga. | - Imikhawulo yamathambo akha amalunga - Phakathi kwezimbambo - Emigudwini yamakhala |
| I-Fibrocartilage | Njengoba igama lisho, lolu uhlobo oluqinile kakhulu lwe-cartilage olwakhiwe ngemicu emide. Luyiyona eguquguqukayo kakhulu kulezi zinhlobo ezintathu. Lusiza ekubambeni izingxenye zomzimba endaweni yazo futhi lumunce ukushaqeka okukhulu. | - I-meniscus yedolo - Ama-disc phakathi kwamathambo omgogodla - Njengokusekela imisipha, imisipha kanye nemisipha |
| I-cartilage enwebekayo | Lolu uhlobo lwe-cartilage oluguquguqukayo kakhulu emzimbeni wethu. Yilona olusekela izindawo ezidinga ukugoba nokunyakaza. Uma sigoba futhi sivula izindlebe zethu, zibuyela esimweni sazo sokuqala, akunjalo? Lokho kungenxa yalolu cartilage olunwebekayo. | - Ama-earlobes angaphandle - Amashubhu e-Eustachian - I-Larynx/ibhokisi lezwi |
Yiziphi izifo ezivamile ezithinta i-cartilage?
Kunezindlela eziningi ezahlukene lapho i-cartilage ingalimala khona. Ngezinye izikhathi kungenzeka ngokuzumayo engozini, noma ingalimala kancane kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
- Ukulimala: I-cartilage ingadabuka noma iphuke ngesikhathi sezemidlalo noma ezinye izingozi. Ukulimala okufana nokudabuka kwe-meniscus yedolo noma ukukhumula ihlombe kungalimaza i-cartilage ejoyintini. Ngezinye izikhathi, ukulimala kwejoyinti kungabangela isimo esibizwa ngokuthi "i-Osteochondritis dissecans".
- I-Osteoarthritis: Kalula nje, i-osteoarthritis uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-arthritis. Njengoba sikhula, i-cartilage emalungeni ethu iyaphela kancane kancane. Lokhu kunciphisa ukunamathelana phakathi kwamathambo, okubangela ubuhlungu nokuvuvukala emalungeni.
- Ama-disc ane-Herniated: Lokhu kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi "i-disc eshelelayo." Lesi simo senzeka lapho ama-disc e-cartilage phakathi kwamathambo omgogodla wethu edabuka noma elimele.
Udokotela uyixilonga kanjani inkinga ye-cartilage?
Udokotela wakho ngeke avame ukuhlola uqwanga eyedwa. Kunalokho, uzokwenza ukuhlolwa okuphelele ngokomzimba ukuze abheke izimpawu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, angayala ukuhlolwa ngaphakathi emzimbeni, okufana nalokhu:
- Ama-X-ray
- Ukuskena kwe-MRI (i-MRI)
- Ukuskena kwe-CT
Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha i-cartilage eyonakele?
Izindlela zokwelapha ziyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi indawo kanye nohlobo lomonakalo. Ngokuvamile, lapho i-cartilage yonakele, nezinye izicubu ezizungezile nazo ziyalimala. Ngakho-ke, udokotela uyalingeka ukuba elaphe lonke ukulimala.
Ezinye izilonda ze-cartilage ziyaphola ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngokuphumula. Kodwa ezinye izilonda ezinkulu zidinga ukuhlinzwa. Lokhu kuvame ukwenziwa ngokuhlinzwa kwe-keyhole okubizwa ngokuthi i-arthroscopy. Kule nqubo, udokotela ohlinzayo angase athunge i-cartilage edabukile noma ayichebe noma ayichebe ukuze abuyisele ukusebenza kwayo. Khuluma nodokotela wakho mayelana nokwelashwa okudingayo kanye nesikhathi sokululama.
Okubaluleke kakhulu, ngoba i-cartilage ayinayo igazi eliqondile (i-avascular), kuthatha isikhathi eside ukuphulukiswa kunezinye izingxenye zomzimba.
Sigcina kanjani i-cartilage yethu iphilile?
Imikhuba emihle yezempilo isiza ukugcina i-cartilage yethu kanye nezingxenye zomzimba ezisekelwa yiyo ziphilile.
- Ukuvivinya umzimba njalo: Ukuqinisa imisipha ezungeze amalunga kunganciphisa ingcindezi emalungeni.
- Gcina isisindo esinempilo: Njengoba isisindo somzimba wakho sanda, ingcindezi emalungeni akho, ikakhulukazi amadolo akho nezinqe, iyanda. Ukulawula isisindo sakho kungasiza ekunciphiseni ukuguguleka nokuncipha kwe-cartilage.
- Gwema ukubhema: Ukubhema nokusebenzisa eminye imikhiqizo kagwayi kubambezela inqubo yokuphulukiswa ngoba kunciphisa ukugeleza kwegazi ezicutshini zomzimba.
Uma ululama ekulimaleni, qiniseka ukuthi ulandela imiyalelo kadokotela wakho. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuphumula uze ululame ngokuphelele. Uma uqala ukudlala imidlalo noma ukugijima futhi ngaphambi kokuba i-cartilage ilulame ngokuphelele, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ulimele futhi endaweni efanayo.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-cartilage iyisicubu esibalulekile esivikela amalunga namathambo ethu futhi sisebenza 'njengesithambisi sokushaqeka' somzimba.
- Kunezinhlobo ezintathu eziyinhloko ze-cartilage emzimbeni wethu (i-hyaline, i-fibrocartilage, i-elastic), ngayinye enomsebenzi ohlukile.
- Uqwanga lungalimala ngenxa yezingozi kanye ne-osteoarthritis eyenzeka ngokuguga.
- Njengoba i-cartilage ingenalo igazi eliqondile, kuthatha isikhathi ukuphola uma yonakele. Ngakho-ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuphumula kuze kube yilapho iphola ngokuphelele, ngaphandle kokuyisheshisa.
- Ukulondoloza indlela yokuphila enempilo (ukuzivocavoca umzimba, ukulawula isisindo) kungasiza ukugcina i-cartilage yakho iphilile isikhathi eside.
