The Ancient Inhabitants of Flores Island The recently discovered Homo floresiensis have been a puzzle for scientists. The skeletons are an odd mix of archaic and more modern traits. The problem of how these diminutive hominins arrived on the island of Flores is still a mystery. The dating shows H. floresiensis arrived over a million years ago by the tools they left behind. The hominins had a minimal cranial capacity, yet they were able to live and prosper until recent times. The Indonesian…

I am a forensic anthropologist whose name is Kareem. I have been working in this field for 24 years. My job is to use my knowledge of the human skeleton to decipher and demystify clues from the decedent’s bones in order to identify the deceased. Additionally, in Harvard I earned my professional degree which took me 10 years. I studied forensic anthropology because I have always wanted to be a forensic anthropologist since I was seven years old. I have identified forty nine decedent’s identity.…

both hands and feet. Pulses were palpable in the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis with a decreased amplitude that was related to CHF and fluid overload. B.H. had a surgically implanted port in his right upper chest, approximately 3cm below the clavicle. The port terminated in the right atrium. The site was asymptomatic, with an intact and dry transparent dressing. His abdomen was firm, non-tender, and rotund with active bowel sounds in all four quadrants. The focused assessment of his…

Cardiovascular System Have you ever felt your heart racing before a big exam? How about after running a marathon? That fast, steady pace, making you breathe heavily. This is part of your cardiovascular system. A larger system made up of your heart system and circulatory system. The heart works to push out about 5 liters, on average, of blood every minute, to the organs, tissues and cells of the human body. This hard working organ, fully matured is only about the size of your clenched fist. Each…

1. Alveoli- Tiny air sacs in the lungs that conduct the air to the bloodstream. Upon inhalation, oxygen enters the bloodstream; during exhalation, carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream through the alveoli. Sentence: Even though each human body needs alveoli in their lungs in order to survive, there’s no set amount each adult has to have in order to keep their body moving. 2. Breathiness- A vocal quality characterized by the release of excessive breath because the vocal folds are not…

Endochondral Ossification All osteogenic tissue from the neck down is made by endochondral ossification, with the exception of the clavicles. The model that bone will eventually replace is composed of hyaline cartilage, the most common cartilage, this process tends to be more difficult than intramembranous ossification since all hyaline cartilage most be decomposed as bone tissue is created. Everything begins at the primary ossification center, which is located in the center of diaphysis of the…

Mr. Jetke had completed an Independent Medical Evaluation (IME) and a clarification addendum was received by the claims adjuster, Rachel Ryke.

No further treatment is needed pertaining to his work incident. . SUMMARY Mr. Jetke reported that he has been working his…

Frogs and toads are known as Anurans. Anurans represent the most diverse, and widespread of the three existent amphibian species. Anurans can be found throughout the world. Frogs can be spotted in urban areas and gardens. However, it is rare for the anurans to be seen in polar regions, as well as some oceanic islands and extremely xeric deserts, but anuran diversity is greatest in the tropical areas (Heying, 2003). The reason why anura was used to conduct this experiment was because the human…

Introduction The repetitive nature of playing a musical instrument may cause a musician to experience discomfort, pain, or injury during the course of their life. This pain is often the result of repetitive movement or overuse of the tendons, nerves, and/or muscles referred to as a repetitive strain injury. One common repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs due to constant pressure and irritation of the carpal tunnel. For a serious musician, the occurrence of repetitive…
