    studies have been conducted on MRI being a useful tool in prenatal imaging of the posterior fossa. Gurbaud (2004) suggests that MRI is useful as a complementary investigation to US in three particular situations. Ranchod, Androniko, & Modi, (2012) detail 4 case studies where MRI was used to diagnose specific posterior fossa abnormalities after having an US. This paper examines research done to examine the posterior fossa in prenatal brains with the use of US and fetal MRI. Literature Review…

    It functions to flex and medially rotate the humerus. Fifth, the teres major originates on the lower lateral border and inferior angle of scapula and inserts on the medial lip of the intertubercular groove of the anterior humerus. It extends, medially rotates and adducts the humerus. It also represents a synergist of the latissimus dorsi. The last four muscles make up the musculotendinous cuff. First, the supraspinatus muscle originates on the supraspinous fossa of scapula to insert on the…

    (a) The structure of the rotator cuff consists of four muscles that all play a role in the motion of the rotator cuff. The four muscles that are responsible for this motion are: the Supraspinatus muscle, the Infraspinatus muscle, the Teres Minor muscle, and the Subscapularis muscle. Each of these muscles originate from the scapula and attach into the humerus. The Supraspinatus muscle originates in the Supraspinatus Fossa and attaches to the greater tubercle of the humerus. The infraspinatus…

    In other words, without the rotator cuff, the humeral head would ride up partially out of the glenoid fossa, lessening the efficiency of the deltoid muscle. The anterior and posterior directions of the glenoid fossa are more susceptible to shear force perturbations as the glenoid fossa is not as deep relative to the superior and inferior directions. The rotator cuff's contributions to concavity compression and stability vary according to their stiffness and the direction of the force they apply…

The middle fossa approach can be combined in some instances with the transmastoid approach. In the transmastoid approach the injury to the facial nerve is localized mainly to the mastoid or tympanic segments of the…

    Analyze the bone remodeling process and the minerals involved in that process. Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found. Condyle- it is a large rounded prominence fitting into a fossa. This type of bone marking is a process that forms joints forming i.e. the medial condyle of the femur (Mid Lands Tech, 2016). Crest- it is slightly risen with protruded ridges. This type of bone marking is a process to attach…

    synovial joint. This joint is responsible for connecting the upper extremity of the trunk. The glenohumeral joint is one of the four joints that comprise the shoulder complex. The joint is considered to be the most mobile and least stable joint. The articular surfaces of the glenohumeral joint are the head of humerus and glenoid fossa of scapula. The humeral head can be in articulation with the glenoid fossa in any position of joint because the head of the humerus is larger than the glenoid…
