Human skeleton

remains are discovered, the first step to determine whether the bones is human remains. If so, the sex, race, age, stature, of the skeleton in order to established the identification of the remains, determine manner and cause of death and, if homicide, forensics can identify the murderer. According to forensic medicine “Forensic anthropologists are "bone detectives" who help police solve complex cases involving unidentified human remains. The techniques which physical anthropologists use to…

buttress for the absorption and transmission of masticatory forces to the base of skull. Therefore, the optimum reduction and rigid fixation is of extreme importance. 1.2 Anatomy: The zygomatic bone occupies a protuberant position in the facial skeleton and it acts as a protective measure to the eye. It also serves as normal facial width and prominence (Joseph & Glavas, 2011). The zygomatic bone has four processes which are the frontal, temporal, maxillary and the infraorbital rim. These…

Paget’s disease of bone is a rather uncommon condition that effects less that 1% of the population of the United States, often presenting with no symptoms or discomfort what so ever. It isn’t known what specifically causes this disease, but it is speculated that heredity plays a big part. Paget’s disease of bone is typically pretty manageable when symptoms do present themselves with a variety of pharmaceutical remedies. Paget’s Disease of Bone Paget’s disease of bone is basically…

vital section is the axial skeleton this is the component of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate. It’s made up of 80 bones and is composed of eight parts; the skull bones, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column therefore proving to me essential in the body as it is protecting the brain and the vital organs keeping us alive. This is very different to the appendicular skeleton this part isn’t suck…

on?” They finally agreed to leave, and they were gone before night. When I went back into the cave, The skeleton man was there, and right then I realized why he was there, he was there to show me how much longer I had to live, and when I died take me away. I laid down and watched the hourglass until it finally was all empty and I felt the life fall right out of me and when it did the skeleton man picked me up and then him and my spirit were gone and all that was left was my dead…

protect them from any outside harm. For example, you have your cranium which supports your brain and your ribs support your lungs and other abdominal organs. Many people believe that our skeletal system is what makes us move, but in the reality, the skeleton gives us the “ability” to move. An interesting fact that many people do not know is that babies have more bones than adults. As a baby, you are born with a total…

and lower limbs. The skeletal system is made up of two different regions, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (see Figure 1, Appendix A) The average baby is born with 270 bones which fuse together as they age and decrease to about 206 bones by late teens, early twenties. The skeletal system provides support, protection, production, storage (Saladin, 2015). The Skull The most complex part of the skeleton is the skull. The average skull consists of 22 bones which are connected by…

Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationship between body parts. Physiology is the study of the function of body parts and the body as a whole. Aims and Objectives  The composition of bone  The structure of a long bone  Classifying the types of joint found in the body  Description of synovial joint  How joint operates  How two different systems communicate for normal functioning of a joint  Description of a disease involving the musculoskeletal system …

man-made engineering materials. Due to its synthesis there have more variation in properties than engineering materials. The factors can include as the location in body, mineral content, disease, age, gender and the amount of water that presence in the human body. The mechanical properties of bone tissues must be considered as very hard and lightweight material. Mechanical behavior of bone can be explained using composite method. Bone tissues are structural and supportive tissues of the body…

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…
