Cricothyroid ligament

Now everything has been accounted for the cricothyroid membrane needs to be found again. After the membrane has been found again place one hand on the trachea. Being sure that you are as gentle but firm as possible. Gently clean the site with alcohol wipes. Cleaning in a circular motion from the inside out. Never going over the same area twice. Grab the scalpel and steady your hand with your pinky on the patient’s chest. The first incision must be done vertically about an inch and a half long. Only cutting the skin. While still holding the trachea takes the scalpel and turn it horizontally. Apply enough pressure to puncture the membrane but be cautious not to go to deep and damage the vocal folds. Swap the scalpel for the trachea hook. Insert the trachea hook gently and keep the sharp end…

The wrist or carpus is a highly mobile structure composed of many small bones and joints. In the anatomy of the human hand, a total of 13 bones form part of the wrist- eight carpal bones- scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate; and five metacarpal bones which are joined along with two long bones of the forearm- the radius and the ulna (Platzer 2004). This complex system of articulations works in unison to provide a global range of motion for the wrist…

Osteoarthritis is a major cause of chronic pain in musculoskeletal areas and is most common in knee and hip. It is a degenerative joint disease that it is affecting a large number of populations. It is related to the breakdown of a joint’s cartilage. Cartilage is a cushioning and is a rubber material that is present at the end of bones in the joints. The osteoarthritis condition makes the joints stiff and causes the elasticity to loose thus making it vulnerable to damage. It is most common…

What interest or passions will you revolve your STP around? The interest/ passion I am going to pursue for my STP project will be the passion of helping people. I will be proving to the meals on wheels community that I do like to help people and listen to what they have to say. I have always liked helping people especially the elderly. I have always found an interest in making people feel better. When I was little I would help my great grandmother keep track of my great grandfather and…

divided 1cm above the zygomatic arch into superficial layer of temporal fascia that is attached to the lateral surface of the zygomatic arch, and a deep layer of temporal fascia that is attached to the medial wall of the zygomatic arch. The frontal branch of the facial nerve runs within the content of the superficial layer of the deep temporal fascia (Hwang & Kim, 1999). An attempt to expose the fracture site of the zygomatic arch, an incision should be made below the superficial layer of the…

English Foxhound The English foxhound is of compelling form, with extensive bone. The measure of bone at the lower leg is considered particularly imperative. This fabricate, alongside nearly straight angulation of the smothers, favors stamina over rate. The rich, profound voice is prized for the chase. Numerous English foxhounds have "adjusted" ears, in which around 1 " are surgically expelled from the end of the ear. Customarily a pack dog, the English foxhound in any case makes a stately…

Introduction The sacrum movement is not in relation to the ilia. The relationship between the ilia and the sacrum is that the ilia strengthens and provides stability. The ilium articulates with the sacrum forming the sacroiliac joint which combines to other structures forming the pelvis. The pelvis is used for weight bearing in many position. In the study performed by Gordon Alderink he explains the correlation between the pelvis sacrum and ilium. The author states, “The pelvic bony structure is…

Introduction: Rotator cuff disorders are commonly caused by the deteriorated tendons from squeezing and rubbing against bone that can lead to bleeding and inflammation. The squeezed tendons often develop scar tissues that are less flexible and loss in strength. The damaged tendons over time could ultimately tear and are a major cause of the chronic shoulder pain that frequently results in a loss of strength and stability of the shoulder [1]. The typical formulation of the patients’ treatment…

Briefly identify and 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…

centre of the distal carpal row. A distinctive head shaped bone, it has a protected position in the carpus. The capitate is the site of a number of ligamentous attachments and articulations. Gross anatomy Osteology The capitate sits in a proximo-distal direction, with a waist that is proximal to the transverse midline. The head of the capitate sits proximally into the space allowed by the lunate and scaphoid bones of the proximal carpal bone row. Proximally, the capitate has rounded…
