Traumatic injuries that happen during accidents or car wrecks can also be the cause of an elbow dislocation, and in children the lifting or swinging by their forearms can also influence on this to happen because the structure may not be strong enough to resist the force against it.…
the photo. To begin, I will analyze the people in the photograph. There is one male estimated to be about fifteen to seventeen years old. He’s wearing a hat and overalls. Also, his face is very dirty and smudged as are his overalls. Lastly, his forearms on both sides are wrapped up with a gauze-like material. Now, I’ll discuss the objects in the photograph. To start off, the boy has a strange machine attached to his hat. The machine features a plate with a hole in it. There is something…
Sea otters are known as one of the largest members of the weasel family, Mustelidae, but are one of the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, who have blubber that serve as a thermal insulator, sea otters have fur. Their fur is one of the densest, softest furs in the animal kingdom--that is also water-resistant. They are omnivores with a diet consisting of crabs, abalone, sea stars, squid, sea urchins, sea worms and around 40 other bottom-dwelling invertebrates. Furthermore, to…
telling us about his discovery of Tiktaalik, a fish which represents the evolutionary transition between fish and primitive land-living animals. Shubin states that, “Tiktaalik has a shoulder, elbow, and wrist composed of the same bones as an upper arm, forearm, and wrist in a human,” showing its connections to the human body. He then moves onto the history of our hands, referring to Sir Richard Owen’s discovery that there was a fundamental design in all vertebrate land animals along with many…

He’s often described as kangaroo-shaped with enormous bat wings and claws on his forearms with hoofs for his feet. Another myth tells that was born misshapen as punishment and his mother decided to hide her shame by sheltering him until he started flapping his arms transforming them into wings and flew out of the chimney, into the…
The knee is made up of four main things: bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. The knee is a ball in socket and the elbow is a relatively simple hinge joint which only allows flexion and extension. The radius is smaller of the two forearm bones and sits on the outside of the joint.As spoken about before the cruciate ligaments are made up of two types of ligaments, the anterior and the posterior. They are often referred to the ‘crucial’ ligaments because it is important that the help the knee…
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)? It is when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the palm of the hand, has excessive pressure on it. The median nerve is the one that gives you feeling to the bottom side of the thumb and to most of the fingers. Women from ages 30-60 years of age are three times more likely to have carpal tunnel than men. This is because the carpal tunnel itself is smaller in women then it is in men. Carpal tunnel can be caused by many other problems like…
Effects of Carbohydrate Ingestion Pre- Grip Strength Exercise on Muscle Endurance In the world of fitness, nutritional supplements are ingested with intent to maximize the results of strength exercise. In achieving favorable adaptations to exercise, sufficient nutrient consumption is critical. Also important is the timing of nutrient consumption, as greater benefits are observed when ingestion takes place in a time frame close to the exercise (Laurenson & Dubé, 2014). Previous literature…
