Long bone

Bone Types Long Bones: Long bones are dense, hard bones that provide strength stability and mobility. For example the femur is a long bone. A long bone has two ends and a shaft. In the finger some bones are long bones, due to the shape of the bones despite them being short. http://umm.edu/health/medical/ency/articles/long-bones Short Bones: Short bones are as long as they are wide. They’re function of them is to provide stability and little movement. http://www.teachpe.com/anatomy/types_of_bones.php Flat Bones: Flat bones are strong plates and their main function is to provide protection to the vital organs. An example is the scapula. http://www.teachpe.com/anatomy/types_of_bones.php Irregular bones; These bones don’t fall into any category…

Objectives Determining the age at death of a skeleton can be complicated and possibly difficult dependant on state of preservation, bones present, or archaeological context. By using measurements of the present long bones and the data that correlates the fusion times of the distal and proximal epiphyseal unions, an age at time of death can be narrowed down to a less broad range. While this measurement method is not completely accurate, dentition ageing techniques and cross referencing of the…

The humerus is classed as a long bone and is located in the upper arm, connecting the shoulder to the elbow. The long bone as suggested by its name is long in structure, meaning they are considerably longer then they are wider. The structure for the humerus is typically similar to all structures of long bones, with a shaft, bone ends and membranes. Dyaphysis or the shaft of the humerus makes up the long axis of he bone and is constructed of very high density compact bone (Merieb, 2010). This…

For long positions, we enter a buy a tick above the high of the pin bar. 2. If the next bar to the pin bar doesn’t trigger the trade, we abandon the setup, because, may times, a break in momentum can lead to a consolidation or a reversal. Hence, we want to enter only when the momentum reasserts itself. 3. The initial stop loss for the trade is just below the low of the pin bar. 4. As the markets continue in our desired direction, we keep trailing the stop loss higher, just below the low of the…

When denied these materials, the Newts use violence. The Newts are able to triumph because learned their habits from human tyranny and the Newts became power-hungry and exhibited expansionist behavior almost spontaneously. Most countries keep selling the Newts weapons and food, because it would be an economic catastrophe not to. Water begins to spread across every continent, and the remaining humans are pushed higher and higher into the mountains. The novel is a satire that examines contemporary…

Muscular skeletal system Flat bones = blue (There are flat bones in the skull and the pelvis. The function of flat bones is to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs. Flat bones are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles.) [3] Long bones = red (The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as relatively…

A hemorrhage is an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel. A fracture is any loss of continuity of bone. Proximal is situated close to or nearest the point or attachment or origin to the trunk of the body. Diaphysis is the shaft or central part of a long bone. 2. The humerus is a long bone located in the upper arm. It is classified as a long bone because the bone is longer than it is wide. The occipital bone is located on the posterior inferior part of the skull. This bone is classified…

respectively. Five Different Types of Bones According to the shapes of the bones and their structure, bones can be classified accordingly. The main 5 types of bones (in terms of their shape) are listed together with brief descriptions and examples of each. 1. Long Bones 2. Short Bones 3. Flat Bones 4. Irregular Bones 5. Sesamoid Bones Bone types (Classified by shape) Description Example(s) 1. Long Bones "Long bones" are longer than they are wide. They consist of a shaft and are generally…

206 bones, as well as a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connects them. The skeletal system performs vital functions — support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation — that enable us to survive. Muscles connect to your skeleton and they contract and move the skeleton along. Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together. They help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner. The calcified…

Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone, bone marrow, and surrounding tissue. The condition can affect any age group but in different ways. Red bone marrow of long bones is typically targeted in children because yellow bone marrow replaces red bone marrow in adults (Bires, Kerr, & George, 2015). Adults usually are introduced to foreign organisms directly through trauma or surgery. Plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, and ultrasound all…
