Mother Love Bone

giving the deceased person a face. They take the skull of the person’s face. From there they have a trained artist who constructs a face as close and accurate as possible, in hopes that someone will be able to recognize it. First they must clean the bones and then they…

Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition of skeletal fragility due to progressive loss of bone mass. Losing bone is a normal part of the ageing process, but some people lose bone density much faster than normal. This can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. It occurs in elderly people of both sexes but is most pronounced in postmenopausal women, they lose bone rapidly in the first few years after the menopause (when monthly periods stop and the ovaries stop…

The Effects of Ageing on the Human Body and its impacts on Pre-Hospital Management Introduction Ageing can be defined as the normal, predictable, and irreversible changes of different organ systems over time that ultimately leads to death (Aschkenasy & Rothenhaus, 2006). What’s more Aschkenasy & Rothenhaus (2006) state that physiological changes during the natural ageing process generally result in a loss of functional reserve within most organ systems. Ageing is accompanied by alterations…

exoskeleton of arthropods and the internal endoskeleton of vertebrates. The skeleton itself has 206 bones in the adult human body. The skeleton has two forms: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton supports the center axis of the body and consists of the skull, vertebral column, and the rib cage. The appendicular skeleton is basically the limbs which are the bones of the arms, legs, pelvis, and shoulders. The functions of the skeleton are pretty self…

replacing bone and mimicking their structure for, various applications. When looking at biological materials, to determine their effectiveness as a scaffold or sufficient structure for various other uses, often they are tested for their resistance to fracture. This is referred to as fracture propagation. Bamboo Bamboo is well known for its sufficient mechanical properties, and great flexibility. It also has great fracture toughness. Bamboo is considered to be a bio composite, meaning it…

Chapter I The Problem and Its Scope Introduction The shoulder contains complicated groups of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae all involved in humeral and scapular kinematics (Terry & Chopp, 2000). Regular use of the arms can result in fatigue of shoulder musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome,…

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…

of respect and proper burial, distinct burning patterns, and disarticulation of remains all point to deliberate processing and consumption of the bodies. The lack of canine tooth marks and the “the light color and excellent surface condition of the bones” indicates that the meat was removed through stewing and boiling and was not scavenged by wild animals after death. On top of the osteological evidence, the discovery of a meat processing tool kit found in the context of the human remains in…

Health back then and now is still an important factor for my family. My family believed in treating your body like a temple. My mother always told me to eat my vitamins everyday, drink a tall glass of milk every morning in order to produce calcium to make stronger bones. In addition my mother would lecture my brother and I about the effects of not having enough calcium in our bodies and tells bad things will happen if we didn't listen to her making us scared…

Legs are an important part of human life. Humans use their legs in almost every aspect of their life. For athlete's, legs are also very important. One important muscle group of the leg includes the quadriceps muscles, otherwise known as the quadriceps femoris. The quadriceps are made out of four other different muscles, that all work towards a specific function for the body. Although it might not be one of the most important muscles, the quadriceps muscles are a very important leg muscle that…
