Brontosaurus Othniel Charles Marsh discovered and named the Brontosaurus (Greek “thunder lizard”), a four-legged dinosaur in 1879. With at least three known species, this dinosaur lived in the Morrison Formation of present day Western US, during the late Jurassic Period and became extinct by the end of the period. Perhaps one of the most controversially classified dinosaurs, paleontologists have reclassified the Brontosaurus several times since its discovery to an extent that some quarters…

Introduction – *Infraclass Metatheria includes pouched mammals andwas first proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley (1880) comprising 272 primitive mammals. *Metatherians are an…

Fifteen patients of capitellum fractures were treated from January 2010 to December 2014. There were 11female and 4 male patients, were aged 20 to 48 years (mean of 35 years), with dominant right hand side involved in 3 and non dominant left involved in 12 patients. All fractures were closed and had occurred following a fall onto the flexed elbow in six or with the outstretched hand in nine patients. Distal neurovascular examination of the limb was normal. All patients underwent plain…

SKELETAL SYSTEM The skeletal system is very important, without it you would not have a body or even be alive. The skeletal system is made up of all of your bones, and the ligaments, cartilage, and tendons attached to them. When it comes to your inner organs, your skeletal system is there to support them and also 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…

tendons and muscles in the shoulder, connecting the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). But in order for our rotator cuff to perform these tasks and movements, there are four muscles that must work together to achieve this. The muscles the rotator cuff consists of is the supraspinatus muscle, infrapinatus muscle, teres minor muscle and subscapularis muscle. These muscles work together to push down on the head of the humerus bone as your deltoid muscle strains, wraps and pulls in…

Amongst the twelve major organ systems of the human body, the skeletal system, consisting of two hundred and six bones, works to provide support, protection, and movement. Many can argue that the skeletal system is the most important system due to it’s complex framework of long bones, short bones, flat bones, etc… but sometimes, the skeletal system may not be able to perform to its fullest potential. A simple bone disorder can cause a large amount of chaos externally, as well as internally.…

One of the most familiar and common animals to own as a pet and get along with….. the canine. Also known as the Canis Lupus Familiaris, is known to be kind, loving and gentle. But these animals recognized as a “mans best friend” have not always been this tame and diverse, living and existing in a humans world.In order to fully understand how canines came to be so diverse and friendly, the anatomy, background and habitat need to be identified. The anatomy of the dog is very basic. The canine…

Adaption is a change in gene frequencies as a result of natural selection (Wilreker, 2016). An adaption will manifest itself as a characteristic of an organism that is some way contributes to the organisms reproductive success (Wilreker, 2016). Bipedalism is an adaption of upright, two-legged movement rather than four-legged movement, and the key characteristic which makes early hominins different from the apes (Kottak, 2015). There are many advantages of bipedalism adaption which Scientists…

down the hill faster than I should have since there was a sharp corner at the end. I hit the corner so fast and sharp that I ended up flipping the quad over and landing it on top of me, fracturing part of my hip and breaking my ulna, radius, and humerus. Even after that accident I still felt the need to do stupid things that I knew I…

Copra Pose: Extension of the Lumbar Spine: Also seen in Bridge Pose and Wheel Pose, Bow Pose, Pigeon Pose and Camel Pose. The degree of back bend will depend on the amount of space between each vertebra of the lumbar spine. The greater the space the greater the degree of back bend. Also the shape of the vertebra also plays a factor as some of the spinous process’ can be bent in angles that either restrict the angle of lumbar curve or increase it. There are other skeletal differences…
