Example 1 – Cristiano Ronaldo Football strike: Bones and Joints: Kicking a football uses all of the bones and joints in your lower body. The tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges of your foot provide the contact surface that strikes the ball. The tibia and tarsals form your ankle joint, which must stay slightly flexed but rigid when you kick so that no power is lost. Your knee joint, consisting of the tibia and femur, extends as your thigh muscles contract and your hip, which is made up of your…

Among some of the earliest of dinosaurs to evolve, Unaysaurus tolentenoi was a prosauropod found in the Caturrita formation in what is now Brazil. In life, it would have reached lengths of up to 2.5 meters (about 8 feet) long, weighed up to 70 kilograms (about 154 pounds) and, reached a height of about 80 centimeters (about 2’ 7”). Its genus name means “black water lizard” while the species name comes from Tolentino Marafiga, who discovered the remains on the side of the road. Being the…

20 years (Meyers and Gorlick, 1997). Its incidence peaks during the second decade of life, coinciding with the adolescent growth spurt. It is more commonly seen in the metaphyseal region of long bones; the distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal humerus being the most common sites and they correspond to areas of active growth in the body (Link and Eilber, 1989) Overall survival (OS) rates in nonmetastatic osteosarcoma were a dismal 10% prior to the 1970s when surgery was the only treatment…

2.) In consideration of the relationship between the Intermembral index and the habitual mode of locomotion for the six different primates, the collected data suggests that the lower the index is, the greater the chance for bipedalism as the “default,” or main movement. Versus a higher index which instead suggests the preferred ability of moving with the arms (e.g. swinging). Moreover, primates with an index closer to a total of 100 appear to assume quadrupedalism. This query can be seen when…

A subdiscipline of physical anthropology that uses the characteristics of bone structure to determine the identity of human remains and present those findings in a court of law. A biological profile is a set of characteristics that an individual possessed while alive that can also be determined from their remains. The “big four” elements that make up a biological profile are Age Geographic ancestry Sex Stature (height while alive) Dental Development Observation of stage of tooth formation…

The anatomy between a human foot, horse’s foot or a bear’s foot are completely different. Despite the difference, there are four limbed-vertebrates which have the same basic pattern of bones. Vertebrates are animals of a large group characterized by the possession of a backbone or spinal column. Vertebrates with four limbs are called tetrapods. Generally, all limbs do the same work to achieve one purpose: support the body and move it from place to place. Some animals have limbs that enhance…

The hysterical tale of two moronic kidnappers and one terror of a child will make baby- sitters everywhere quiver and potential kidnappers reconsider. O.Henry’s short story “The Ransom of Red Chief “ is a high caliber comedy that utilizes irony and allusions to convey the conception that although it is not what seems most favorable, a sense of justice will play into everything we do. The irony in the story is very unexpected, making it even more hysterical, but at the same time making the reader…

immediately after injury. Fractures of the capitellum are frequently missed on first examination [28], as they are not clearly seen on anteroposterior radiographs because the fracture line is not well recognized against the profile of the distal humerus because of overlap. They are typically picked and best seen on true lateral views (Figure 6 -A, B) [28]. A high index of suspicion and good lateral view radiograph is thus warranted to avoid missing this injury. Additionally in type IV injuries…
