Mutations in the FGFR2 gene mapped to chromosome 10q25 and 10q26 causes Apert syndrome. Saritha, Sumangala, Supriya & Kumar (2013), explained that the protein causes prolonged signaling, which promote the premature fusion of bones and sutures of the skull, it also is responsible for fusion of hands and feet bones. Most cases of Apert syndrome occur from a new mutation in the gene. It can also occur in cases where there is no family history of the disorder. Individuals with Apert syndrome can…

as a disproportionately large head with a prominent forehead. Hands of people with ACH are often proportionally small with short fingers that can diverge into the shape of a trident. Internally, those with ACH can show shortness of the base of the skull with a small foreman magnum and a narrowing spinal canal throughout its length as well as a lower fifth lumbar vertebra which appears between the ilia. These features can often delay motor development milestones like walking as well as lead to…

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 cranial fossa, a portion of the nasal septum,…

An infant’s skull is composed of six cranial bones separated by strong fibrous joints called sutures. The coronal suture runs from one ear to the other ear and separates the frontal bone from the two parietal bones. The sagittal suture separates the two parietal bones. The lambdoidal suture separates the two parietal bones and the occipital bone. There is also the metopic suture that divides the two halves of the frontal bone in children. This suture usually disappears by the age of six.…

The creature that is being examined in this experiment is the now extinct Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a dinosaur that lived in Northwestern Africa about 95 million years ago. The Spinosaurus (fig.1) was a creature that has been estimated to be anywhere from 13 to 18 meters (43 to 60) long, weighed 7 to 9 tonnes (8-10 tons), and is agreed to be by most paleontologists the largest carnivorous dinosaur of all time. It is thought to be a piscivore, although the Spinosaurus’ diet and lifestyle is very…

Over evolutionary time organisms have diversified beyond imaginable. The earth is full of life from the simplest, single celled organisms, to whales the size of school buses. Even though there is a sundry of species alive on the planet today, even more species have lived in the past. In comparing the flying fish and the jerboa, one can see the changes that organisms have made overtime to better their chance of survival in their environment. By studying comparative anatomy, one can see the way…

In Neil Shubins’ “Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body”, he takes the audience on the journey of the discovery and history of how different organisms and adaptations have converged to form a relationship between fish and tetrapods. Shubins first relates the evolutionary fact that humans and other forms of “tetrapods’ major body systems have developed from fish and sharks” (20), through his time on the field as a paleontologist. He describes his multiple…

An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) can be described simply as a tight rubber band ball of abnormal blood vessels with weak walls. These can be located anywhere in the body. Arteries carry blood containing oxygen from the heart to the brain. An AVM bypasses normal brain tissue and directs blood from the arteries to the veins without a capillary bed in between. Brain AVM’s occur in less than one percent of the population (per 100,000 people) and are more common in males than females. Being…
