Modern orthodontics take into account of balance between dentofacial complex as a whole and the position of hyoid bone in different Angle’s class malocclusion has intrigued and attracted many researchers. The hyoid bone is unique in that it has no bony articulation with any other bone but is instead suspended in the soft tissue via ligaments and muscles (Romanes et al 1983). Different muscles such as infra and suprahyoid muscles and genioglossus muscle influence the position of the hyoid bone…

Of course, just as it’s largely variable among people as to just how much of each, it’s also largely variable among individual muscles. Simply put, different people have different muscular composition, and that should go without saying. What’s worth focusing on, however, is the role each of our muscles plays in basic human function. Though research is limited on the topic, it’s safe to assume a generally greater allotment of endurance-geared…

while the elbow crease is clearly marked. Mycerinus hands are tightly clenched against his body, while his bottom stance shows power. His left foot is clearly in front of his right, similar to the queen. The visible sections of the legs are clearly muscular: the shins and the knees are unrealistically protruding from the body, which emphasizes athleticism and muscularity in the legs. The abdomen follows a similar pattern: Mycerinus’ torso is extremely rigid and strapping. The pectoris muscle is…

Of the three types of muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells are the most recognizable as muscles because skeletal muscles are the type used in voluntary movement. Skeletal muscles cells are some of the most distinct differentiated cells in the human body, this distinction is likely because of the clear and specific purpose in the body of being the source of contractions that allow voluntary movement. I chose skeletal muscle cells because it’s fascinating to me how movement of the body is such a…

The purpose of this literature review paper is to analyze the use of proprioception training in individuals who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident, most commonly referred to as a stroke. As defined in the textbook (Coker, 2013), proprioception is “the continuous flow of sensory information received from receptors located in the muscles, tendons, joints, and inner ear regarding movement and body position.” A stroke can affect various areas of the brain, including those involved in balance…

the proper precautions. Chronic adaptations to altitude include pulmonary, cardiovascular, muscle, nutrition/metabolism function. When pertaining to Desplanches et al. their researched was predominately looking at how changes in the pH can affect muscular function. As we learned in class there is a drastic change in pH levels due to the blood becoming more alkaline. Higher ventilation increases PaO2, but causes a shift of the curve to left to form a tighter bond between hemoglobin and oxygen.…

The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scale The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale (numbering 0–21) is a point scale used in the analyzation of the activity of the limb joints of animals. Its locomotion rate is based on various aspects of the hind limb function like the weight support and toe clearance, just to mention a few [37]. All results were obtained at time points of 2 weeks to 8 weeks post-operation along with the blinded examination that was executed by two scorers.…
