Thoracic vertebrae

What type of senses are lost when a person has a spinal cord injury? What does this injure in the peripheral nervous system? In class we have learned many things involving the peripheral nervous system. We have learned about injuries, nerves, and how things flow. I heard someone the other day talking about spinal cord injury, I had assumed it was a specific injury. However, spinal cord injury happens to people for a number of reasons. I want to know what kind of damage it has on the…

1. What is alula? - Alula is a set of feathers on the first digit of birds which permits a slot on the wing. 2. What is crop milk? – Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of crop of parent…

that is attached in the back of the neck to the lower jaw, found beneath the upper trapezius. It arises by a narrow tendinous band from the spinous processes of the third to the sixth thoracic vertebrae. It’s inserted by tendinous fasciculi, into the posterior tubercles of the upper row or third cervical vertebrae. The splenius is a powerful muscle that helps with hyper-extend the head and neck/ flexes and rotates the head to the same side. It’s also one of the most complex inter relationships…

Introduction A vertebrate is characterized by the vertebral column as it is part of their axial skeleton. Its main function is to act as a communication pathway between the brain and the body of the vertebrate. Usually, vertebrates have a fixed number of vertebral column, but there are variations in the number of vertebral columns within the cetacean species. Dolphins are vertebrates and are one of the fastest swimming species due to their morphological stability. The morphology can determine…

Introduction Primary renal tumors account for approximately 2% of all canine cancers.11 Tissues of origin include the renal epithelium, renal mesenchyme or embryonal tissue of mixed origin.1 Roughly 10% of primary renal tumors originate from embryonal pluripotential blastema, which include Wilms’ tumor, nephroblastoma, and embryonal nephroma.11 The majority of diagnosed renal tumors occur in older dogs; however, nephroblastoma is unique in that it is seen in juveniles. The mean age for…

Care of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury Spinal cord injury is an event that changes a person’s life forever. The classifications of spinal cord injuries are concussion, compression, contusion, laceration, and transection. Injury can be complete or incomplete (Nayduch., 2010). The type and location of the spinal cord injury will determine the care and management of the patient and subsequent complications that arise from the injury. The research will focus on evidenced-based medical, surgical…

As mentioned earlier, the vertebral column consists of five regions. These regions are cervical (neck), thoracic (upper and mid back), lumbar (lower back), sacral and coccyx. Some of the structures that would be affected by the incident are the intervertebral discs, due to the compression that was placed on the head. If the vertebral discs structure is severely compressed, the inner material, known as the nucleus pulposus, that is inside the discs could leak out and cause herniation. Herniation…

Heal your Musculoskeletal Injuries in Car Accident with Chiropractic Care Car accidents can cause property damage, and injuries to the individuals. A person may have bruises, fracture, misalignment of the vertebrae, etc., in the collision. The recovery time depends on the condition of the individual. Several impairements can be healed in a short time, whereas others may take time in the complete well being. If you cannot walk, move, or lift the things after an accident, then there are high…

asymptomatic until you fracture a bone, which is called pathological fractures, with very minimal trauma. According to the Atlas of Pathophysiology (2010), a sign and symptom of Osteoporosis is “spontaneous fractures or those involving minimal trauma to vertebrae, distal radius, or femoral neck,” (p. 236). You may even notice that you are getting shorter or your upper back is starting to curve forward, which is called kyphosis. Other signs and symptoms would be decreased exercise tolerance, low…

Introduction: The human spine is made out of 33 vertebrae that unite together to form a singular structure usually known as the vertebral column. It provides structural support, flexibility, and balance to maintain a vertical upright posture. A healthy normal vertebral column is straight and has front to back curves. The curve in the neck area is called the cervical spine, the curve in the upper back is called the thoracic spine, and the curve located in the lower back is known as the lumbar…
