Bones of the lower limb

Flat bone Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment, the outer one is thick and tough; the inner is thin, dense, and brittle, and hence is termed the vitreous (glass-like) table. It helps the body by protect. Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment. A sporting example is heading a football because the skull…

ulceration of tissue usually is at the location of a bony prominence that has been subjected to prolonged pressure against an external object, such as a bed, wheelchair, cast, or splint. Pressure ulcers may extend into deeper tissue including muscle and bone.” The preceding is the information needed to properly code giving description to the four stages depth of an ulcer, Stage I being the mildest case and Stage IV more severe; however, an unspecified stage and unstageable description could be…

discuss bones of the pectoral and pelvic girdles as well as their attached limbs associated with skeleton models found in your text. The pectoral griddle contains: 2 clavicle bones (known as collarbones that brace the scapula and arms making up the shoulder); and 2 scapula bones (known as the shoulder blades functioning as a stabilizer and provides movement of the shoulder). The attachments of the upper extremity from the pectoral area includes: 2 humerus (these are the largest and longest bones…

SKELETAL SYSTEM The skeletal system is very important, without it you would not have a body or even be alive. The skeletal system is made up of all of your bones, and the ligaments, cartilage, and tendons attached to them. When it comes to your inner organs, your skeletal system is there to support them and also protect them from any outside harm. For example, you have your cranium which supports your brain and your ribs support your lungs and other abdominal organs. Many people believe that…

six bones, plus it is important because it protects our organs. It starts from your skull and it ends at your phalanges. It also helps to move around an support an individual. The skeletal system develops from having up to two hundred and seventy bones when an infant to having two hundred and six bones when an adult.(Zimmermann, 2015) Females and males tend to have different skeletal systems, since women give birth they need a flatter and larger pelvis so the baby has space to come out. Bones…

Your tibia is a very hard bone to break. Most broken tibias are caused by strong collisions, such as vehicle crashes, and sports injuries. In the majority of the cases involving a broken tibia, it is often very noticeable. Some symptoms include unbearable pain, inability to walk, deformity or instability of the leg, bone “tenting” the skin, bones protruding through the skin and the loss of feeling in the lower extremity in which the injury occurred. After the break of the tibia, you should seek…

this along with the fact that it comes from around the familiar time when chimpanzees and humans are suspected of being relatives. Then we come across the next oldest one, the Orrorin tugenensis. The fossils include fragmented arm and thigh, and lower jaw bones, and also a few teeth that were discovered in places…

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 several physical conditions (Pauli, 1998). Although people with Achondroplasia can live a full…

axial skeleton consists of a the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, vertebral column (spine), sternum bone, and the ribs. -The appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder girdles, upper limbs, pelvic girdles, and lower limbs. -Bones are living tissue that make up the skeleton. They are primarily composed of three types of tissue. These three types are compact tissue, cancellous tissue, and subchondral tissue. -Compact tissue is the outer layer of bones and is harder than the other…

realized it was the skull of an adult. Many scientists think this is a new species that they named homo floresiensis, but others argue that it is just a modern human with a mutation. Since 2003, bones and teeth from as many as 12 other homo floresiensis have been discovered. I believe that by examining the bone structure, we can see that the homo floresiensis are a new species. When conducting my research, I found many sources to use. Two articles I used,…
