what do we access by aligning the direction o the force of gravity along the major axis of the bones?
|
strength.
|
|

|
... depositing layers of calcium into the bone matrix.
|
|
|
osteoporosis
|
a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.

|
Asana (def)
|
a comfortable or effortless position
|
|
|
According to Ray Long, how is effortlessness achieved in asana?
|
when we align the long axis of the bones with the direction of gravity. this decreases muscular force needed to maintain the asana.
|
|
|
Why do we use muscular force?
|
To bring bones into a position where they carry the load. Once these positions are attained, muscular force is no longer necessary or decreased.
|
|
|
pubis

either of a pair of bones forming the two sides of the pelvis.
ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from Latin os pubis ‘bone of the pubes.’ |

|
|
epicondyle
|
a protuberance above or on the condyle of a long bone, esp. either of the two at the elbow end of the humerus.
DERIVATIVES epicondylar adjective ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: from French épicondyle, modern Latin epicondylus (see epi- , condyle ). |
|
|
condyle
|
a rounded protuberance at the end of some bones, forming an articulation with another bone.
DERIVATIVES condylar |ˈkɑndələr| adjective condyloid |ˈkɑndəˌlɔɪd| adjective ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from French, from Latin condylus, from Greek kondulos ‘knuckle.’ |
|
|
olecranon
|
the bony prominence of the elbow, on the upper end of the ulna.
ORIGIN early 18th cent.: from Greek ōle(no)kranon, from ōlenē ‘elbow’ + kranion ‘head.’ |
|
|
bone with medial and lateral epicondyles
|
humerus and femur
|
|
|
the knee and shin bones look like an ice-cream cone with a ice cream dripping down and a little spot for the thumb
|
ice cream is the patella which floats superior and anterior to the tibial plateau. The tibia is the cone, the tibial tuberosity is the thumb rest and the fibia is the ice cream dripping down.
