Case study one – (Explain how the musculo skeletal system structure is suited to the function it performs. (2.1) Mrs C is pregnant and wants to pick up a ball, describe in depth which parts of the musculo skeletal system are involved in this movement and which structural parts provide support and protection of the vital organs. The musculo skeletal system consists of bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and joints, they all work together to provide the body support,…

Osborn Table of Contents What is Legg-Perthes? ………………………….. Jimmy …………………………………………… Jonathan ………………………………………… Cody ……………………………………………. What is Legg-Perthes? Legg-Perthes disease is a childhood condition that affects the hip where the thighbone (femur) and pelvis meet in a ball and socket joint. Sometimes it is called Legg-Calve-Perthes, pronounced LEGG-kahl-VAY-PER-theez. It occurs when the blood supply to the ball part (femoral head) of the hip joint is interrupted. Without enough blood…

The same way Peterson was perceived as strange because he seemed to be the only person in his pastoral group to read books, I was the only person in my group of friends at home with a global vision. In Tanzania, I realized that at although at home I was isolated in my interests, when placed in an international community, Atheists and Muslims make up the majority. In undeveloped areas, American Christians are grossly underrepresented in the medical dynamic. In America, Christianity is the…

When we hear the word cancer, our hearts automatically sink into our stomachs. Now, imagine you are just a child and your parents are told you have Osteosarcoma. This is a type of cancer that is most commonly found in those between the ages of 10 to 20 years old, and often found in the long bones of the body; thigh, shin, or humerus (“Types of Childhood Cancer” 2015). Keep in mind that the cancer can vary with each child. Osteosarcoma can be detected by a child being in severe pain and the…

serious injuries as well. In a recent study (Dahlquist, 2015), there were 566 patients that were evaluated using the NEXUS criteria. Of the 566 patients that were evaluated 241 of them had positive NEXUS findings with a distracting injury and 325 had femur fractures who were NEXUS negative only two of them had cervical spine injuries (Dahlquist, et al., 2015). Using different criteria in order to determine whether a patient needs to have a CT scan will help decrease the patient dose to radiation…

during flexors while fixators keep the body stable during movement and maintain posture. For the 100 meter dash, the fixators are the fingers placed on the floor while crouched. The levers are the arm bones and the leg bones (humerus, radius, tibia, femur, etc) while the load is the athletes body. There are multiple points that can be said to be the fulcrum and effort but focusing on the knees and ankles, the movement will involve the athlete’s dominant leg or the push-off leg. For this…

The sports injury that we’ll be talking about is joint dislocation. We will be investigating into two types of joint dislocations, shoulder and knee, whilst comparing the similarities and differences between the two injuries. The shoulder joint is actually one of the most ambulatory, meaning, it is a commonly dislocated joint in the body. Shoulder dislocations usually entail the head of the humerus being forcibly removed from its cup-shaped socket in the glenoid fossa. In simple terms, the…

found under the fire of Joan of Arc, virgin of Orleans". That filled the French patriots with joy. DNA tests carried out in 2007 indicated that the jumble of remains was composed of the flesh from an Egyptian mummy, a piece of linen and a cat's femur, obviously gathered as part of the fraud from the 19th century, when Juana was claimed by the French as a national heroine. Galileo Galilei’s Fingers Went Missing For A Century The famous astronomer considered a heretic by the Inquisition is…

The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability and it is responsible for the movement of the body. The strong protective skeletal layer protects vital organs. For example rib cage protects the heart, kidneys and lungs from any traumatic injury. Bones provide framework that supports and keeps the body from collapsing. It is the major supporting structure of the body. The bone is classified by their shape or structure as cortical bones are dense and compact and cancellous is spongy.…

much higher risk for getting hip fractures, which can lead to childbirth complications [for premenopausal women]. Still, not many trials have been conducted to investigate the effects of weight loss on specific anatomical BMDs [such as the spine or femur] in men. In order to observe whether or not bone integrity was preserved and to what extent, a study was conducted to understand the effect of dietary restrictions on men who are either overweight or obese. The controlled study recruited 38 men…
