Coccyx

At this very moment, there are over 5,400 species of mammals living on Earth, every one of them unlike the others. Humans, or Homo sapiens, are one of these numerous, utterly unique animals that inhabit this planet. We contain a vast amount of qualities that set us apart from all others organisms alive. One of the chief significances of these differences is the fact that humans are the only mammals that are permanently bipedal. We were not always able to walk on two legs, but thousands of years…

The cervical spine aggregate has seven vertebras. The thoracic spine aggregate has twelve. There are five vertebrae's in the lumbar spine. The last section is sacrum, and there is five vertebrae's in the sacrum excluding the three vertebrae's in the coccyx. "Bone markings along the edge of the ilium incorporate the iliac spines, which stamp the connection destinations of critical muscles and tendons. The gluteal lines, which check the link of expansive hip muscles; and the more noteworthy…

Femoris Ischial tuberosity of the long head and the lateral lip of the linea aspera of the short head. Fibula head and tibia lateral condyle. Thigh extension and leg flexibility. Gluteus Maximus Gluteal line posteriorly, the surface of sacrum and coccyx posteriorly, and sacrotuberous ligament. Upper fibers: iliotibial tract; lowermost fibers: gluteal tuberosity of the femur. Thigh extension and femur lateral rotation. Gluteus Medius The ilium external surface that is between the posterior…

The theory of evolution was first formulated by Charles Darwin in the year of 1859. It is the theory that explains the process of natural selection and how species have changed over time and have had heritable physical and behavioural changes. Creationism is the belief that the universe and everything in it came from a higher being. There is no scientific evidence backing up the theory of creationism although it has a large following. Intelligent Design is another view that is similar to the…

Today’s reflection covers two topics: bed mobility and lab orientation. The lab orientation refers to how the labs will be ran and what the expectations are during lab. Bed mobility is moving and repositioning a client within the space of their bed. It includes moving up and moving down, turning and flipping, as well as sitting up from bed. Past this point it become a transfer or lift. One of the points made under the general guidelines for this lab is to ‘practice with as many different…

Evolution is how modern living organisms are related to ancient ones. Organisms have diversified and modified through ages and old one became extinct. According to Charles Darwin, all species have common ancestors. This means that, for instance, whales and dogs are related to each other by an old ancestor. Indeed, many organisms have common traits and characteristics, but this still doesn't mean that they are related. Darwin's theory, which all organisms descend from one ancestor, is the result…

After our first SIMS, my clinical group kicked coccyx and our instructor told us how impressed she was and ever since that day, I have felt my stress level go down. I am appreciating the switch because of the experience I have received from what the facility has provided me along with my new instructor…

Briefly identify and discuss bones of the appendicular and axial skeletons. • The axial skeleton consists of the following bones. The skull is made of: • There are 2 parietal bones that form the superior and lateral parts of the skull. • There are 2 temporal bones that form the inferolateral parts of the skull. • The frontal bone forms what we know as the forehead (Cancer 2016). • The occipital bone is posterior making up most of the base of the skull. • The ethmoid bone forms the anterior…

prominences will be an imperative intervention which reduces the risk of skin breakdown. The nurse can apply barrier creams as a shield to protect the patient’s skin (Arenella, 2014). The nurse can apply a prophylactic dressing to prevent an ulcer in the coccyx. Prevention is the key, but if a wound does develop treatment of the wound is not necessarily the goal of the nurse as the nurse must be the advocate for the patient in these circumstances and patient comfort supersedes the goal of…

The term Siamese twins is used on individuals that are of a single gestation . Those twins whose bodies are still conjoined after birth. This tends to occur in one of every 200,000 births, 50% of the cases are born dead and 75% belong to the female gender . The percentage of survival in Siamese twins ranges between 5% and 25%. The origin is not yet well defined, but it is thought that Siamese twins are the result of an aberration in the process of the formation of monozygotic twins, i.e. twins…
