Clavicle

period for familiarity and to ensure the equipment was functional, however, this data was not recorded. Heart rate was also measured continuously from the QRS complex using electrocardiography (ECG) and spot electrodes placed on the right and left clavicle and lower left rib. Blood pressure (BP) was also continuously measured, this time from the left index finger using a Portapres Model-2? (Finapres Medical Systems, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). The data was continuously sampled at 200 Hz?…

The Skeletal System The skeletal system has many functions, and one function includes supporting and protecting the body while providing the shape and form of the body. The skeletal system consists of connective tissues whereas it comprises of cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments. The skeletal system also functions as a means of providing mobility and a storage unit for minerals, fats and production of blood cells. There are different components that make up the skeleton.

pressed together. She has blonde hair and is smugly peering into the camera. The last woman appears to be standing separately from the rest with her legs crossed and her brunette hair framing the perimeter of her face. Her left hand is lying over her clavicle bone while her other hand is pressing against her back. The varying positions that the individual models were set in all seemed delicate and timid, while facial expressions they were wearing were extremely sensual and compelling. This…

fundamental role in keeping you alive and healthy. In one drop of blood, there are roughly 375,000 white blood cells, 16 million platelets, and 250 million red blood cells. Most blood cells are made in the flat bones of the axial skeleton (cranium, clavicles, scapulae, sternum, ribs, vertebrae, hip bones, and the top of each humerus and…

large ears. Below the neck, the figure is smooth with little detail on its chest, making the torso seem disproportionately young and flawless compared to the head. The nipples are barely visible, and the artist merely hints at the presence of the clavicle. The chest is hairless and supple, and the shoulders, rather than rippling with muscle, slope gently from the neck down. The artist has omitted the lower body of the…

gleaming band, remembering not to hold it with his index finger at the top of the blade, the way Hannibal taught him. He carefully took the tool to the man's left pectoral, just under the clavicle. The flesh parted in a smooth, unhesitant diagonal line, just to the base of the chest. He moved up to the other clavicle, doing his best to replicate the action. Hannibal should have drawn dotted lines for him beforehand. Will flushed lightly, feeling guilty for asking more from his gift, even in…

When she hit a tree stump and fell on her outstretched hand, she knew she broke something in her shoulder and arm. Jennifer most likely broke her clavicle, acromion, and possibly her coracoid process in the shoulder girdle. She also could have broken her humerus, radius, ulna, and possibly her carpal bones in her hand. Jennifer also could have damaged her deltoid, trapezoid, biceps, triceps, brachioradialis…

The Glenoid Labrum: Labral Tear Number Twenty-Two PED161 2 LABRAL TEAR The Glenoid Labrum is a protective disk of fibrocartilage that surrounds and deepens the cavity of the Glenoid. The labrum allows for full range of motion, stability, and cushioning in the shoulder. It is attached to the edge of the shoulder socket and supports the ball of the joint -or the head of the arm bone, known as the humerus- in order to stay in place. When the fibrocartilage of the labrum is torn, it is…

Emphysema is a chronic lung disease, which damages the air sacs called alveoli by causing shortness of breath (dyspnea) due to the enlargement of lung sacs. Emphysema is also known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Ontario Lung Association,2015). Emphysema is a disease, which not only destroys the lung air sacs but it also reduces the amount of oxygen that can reach the bloodstream. Smoking is one of the main reasons for the cause of emphysema. Therefore, it occurs mostly to the people…

My mother is not an exceptionally beautiful woman. She would not be remembered as a modern-day Helen of Troy, whose face launched a thousand ships, or a sumptuous vixen like Marilyn Monroe. She is a woman who seamlessly blends into a crowd, with a face people could confuse with another; maybe a friend's mom, a distant relative or the owner of a bakery down the street. She has the face of a million women and none of them are exceptionally special; none of them exceptionally beautiful. My mother…
