Bones of the head and neck

Gender was the longest test done. I measured the pelvis, skull, tibia and humerus. The results were astonishing. I used a female and male pelvis pictures, vernier calipers, tape measure, a ruler, and protractor to find the angles and or lengths of parts of the bones. I measured the sub-pubic angle first and it came out to be 90 degrees(male). Next, the pubis body width, it measured out to be 25-30 mm long(male). The Greater Sciatic Notch was less than 68 degrees which came out to be female. Lastly, the Pelvic Cavity Shape was circular/wide and mainly showing the coccyx(female). Next, I measured the skull. The upper edge of the eye orbit was sharp meaning it was a female. Next, the eye orbit, the results were round meaning female. The zygomatic process is a projection of the temporal bone that forms part of the zygoma. The results were not expressed beyond the external auditory meatus(female). The Nuchal Crest(Occipital Bone) was not rough and bumpy meaning that it was smooth and female. The External Occipital Protuberance was present meaning it was male. The frontal bone was round and globular meaning female. When a mandible bone is rounded and V-shaped it means female. The results was female. The ramus of mandible was slanting also indicating female. The tibia all equaled out to be female. The Maximum Epiphyseal Breadth of Proximal Tibia was 70.6…

The figures 11-15 represent the different aspects of the left Permanent Mandibular Second Molar. Mandibular molars are the largest teeth on the mandibular arch. There is a number of three on each side of the mandible; first, second and third mandibular molars. They resemble each other in functional form, although when in comparison with each one, it’s clear the variations in the number of cusps, size, the occlusal design and the lengths and position of the roots. All mandibular molars have…

Alveolar Ridge Resorption: Alveolar bone resorption is a normal physiologic response following teeth extraction. The causes of alveolar bone volume loss can occur before dental extraction due to periodontal disease, periapical pathology and trauma to the teeth and bone. (SchroppL et al.2003) (1, 2). Additionally, the traumatic removal of teeth can cause bone loss and must be prevented (1,3). Finally, the alveolar bone suffers atrophy after tooth extraction, which has been well documented (1, 4,…

Bones that were taken from the body at the crime scene went under much analysis in order to determine the gender, race, height, and age of the missing person that was retrieved. The first part of data was retrieved in order to determine the gender of the missing person. The pelvic bone was analyzed first. The first measurement made was for the degree of the Sub-Pubic angle and gave forth the measurement of 84 degrees. This test, however, was redone and the final determination of the angle is…

1. Nasal bone a. These bones serve as attachments sites for the cartilaginous tissues that shape the nose (AnatomyExpert, 2014). 2. Nasal Cartilage a. The nasal cartilage articulates with the ethmoid bone to anteriorly separate the nasal passage into two halves (Starkey, Brown, & Ryan, 2011). 3. Zygoma a. The zygoma is a sturture that fused to the maxilla and the temporal bones to form the prominent zygomatic arch beneath the eyes (Starkey, et al., 2011). 4. Maxilla a. The main functions for the…

The head and neck are part of the body that is very important integrating several systems. A lot of vital activities like eating, drinking, seeing, hearing and breathing are done through the head structures. When the nurse assess those the head and the neck it is s assessing several systems at the same time. The eyes are located in the orbital cavities of the skull is an important part of the head and its function is essential to perform different activities. The ears are one of the structures…

The two main neck muscles are the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius, and are responsible for the gross motor movement in the muscular system of the head, neck and shoulders. The sternocleidomastoid muscle is a paired muscle, located at the front and on each side of the neck. It is one of the largest and most superficial cervical muscles. The primary actions of the muscle are rotation of the head to the opposite side and flexion of the neck. The trapezius is one of the biggest shoulder and…

during the introduction The Humerus is both the largest bone in the arm and the only one located in the upper arm. Many of the powerful muscles that help move the shoulder and forearm, the elbow, are attached to the Humerus. The Humerus is very essential to a variety of movements of the arm, including throwing, lifting, and even writing. 0:30-1:00 Demonstrate all parts of the humerus bone. There are many parts of the Humerus including the head, greater and lesser tubercles, Anatomical and…

The neck is the most important part of our body. It connects our brain with the rest of the organs and veins. The medical term for the neck is the cervical spine. This cervical spine starts right beneath your head to your starting of the torso. It contains seven small vertebrae bones that are joined together to give a structure of the neck. Why do Neck Pains Occur? Cervical spines can face pain for many reasons. For example, accidents or injury can cause severe pain in the neck. A certain move…

With the long neck, this herbivore browsed tall trees for food and held its neck high in the air when alert. Due to this dinosaur’s size, muscle movement, and recoil after each stride, it moved slowly and probably covered between 12 and 25 miles in a single day in an average 12-19 miles per hour speed. The claws were probably for defense, feeding, or grasping. There exist several theories referring to Brontosaurus’ respiratory system that aims to explain its metabolic rates, including, a…
