Pelvis

Structure and Functionality: For the anatomical model project, the pelvic girdle was researched and modeled. This part of the body is interesting to learn about due to its’ sheer complexity and versatile grouping of bone. The pelvic girdle supports and balances the trunk, connects it to the legs and and contains and supports the intestines, urinary bladder, and internal sex organs. Another fascinating facet of the pelvis is that it is the only bone in the body that is gender specific. Males have the android pelvis, whereas females have the gynaecoid pelvis, with a broader and wider structure, an adaptation for childbirth. For the purposes of this project, a female pelvic girdle was modeled. Irrespective of their differences, both male and…

Question #10 The abdominal wall consists of four muscles; Rectus abdomens, external obliques, internal obliques and transverse abdominals. Abdominal muscles serve a dual function of both producing and preventing motion as they promote the stability of the pelvis and lower back. This helps maintain a neutral pelvis and optimal lumbar curve. The primary movements of the abdominals are flexion, rotation, lateral flexion, anti-lateral flexion, and stabilization. The rectus abdominis is a long…

1. I diagnosis Eleanor with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) based on her history and examination. Pelvic floor dysfunction is the inability to control the pelvic floor muscles and failure to function properly is due to old age, obesity, pregnancy, menopause, and a vaginal delivery (Bartling, 2016). Its symptoms include urinary problems, constipation, a heavy feeling or bulge in the pelvis, and pain. Eleanor presents a majority of the risks factors and symptoms. She is more likely to have PFD…

was a crime infested area with king pins in all sorts of drug categories. Our dispatcher received a call on. October 2nd, 2016 about a finding of bones inside the underpass near 6th and Jackson. When I arrived at the scene I saw bones and a huge hole, next to where, they were more than likely dug up. It looks like the bones have been there for quite a while. The man who found the body was a homeless man by the name of "B-Bop." We are guessing that the bones we found belonged to a victim of the…

waiting for her to come into the world. Changes happening to your body in week 19 Even if you have felt the first feeble movements a week or so earlier, it is only in this week that you will be able to distinguish properly between the movements of your baby and other physical changes taking place inside your tummy, such as gas formation and hunger pangs. Here are the other physical changes that are likely to happen in your body around week 19: Your uterus starts moving towards your abdominal…

Appendicular muscles help the pelvic girdles, pectoral girdles, and the limbs. The appendicular muscles stabilize and positions the pectoral/pelvic girdles producing movement to the upper and lower limbs. The two major groups of appendicular muscles consist of the muscles of the shoulders/upper limbs and the muscles of the pelvis/lower limbs. Muscles of the shoulders and upper limbs are divided into four categories: muscles that position the pectoral girdle, muscles that move the arm, muscles…

Gender was the longest test done. I measured the pelvis, skull, tibia and humerus. The results were astonishing. I used a female and male pelvis pictures, vernier calipers, tape measure, a ruler, and protractor to find the angles and or lengths of parts of the bones. I measured the sub-pubic angle first and it came out to be 90 degrees(male). Next, the pubis body width, it measured out to be 25-30 mm long(male). The Greater Sciatic Notch was less than 68 degrees which came out to be female.…

I do not agree with the methodology of the reconstruction of Lucy’s pelvis. In the Origins of Man Lovejoy states, “The bones fit together so well that they are in an anatomically impossible position” and then he takes the liberty of restoring the pelvis into its “natural” position. I believe that Lovejoy needed more proof to support his theory. Since Lovejoy assumed that the pelvis was not in its natural position he gives critics the benefit of the doubt to the idea that he doctored up the…

One trait that defers between humans and monkey, chimpanzees, and Bonobo's is the size and structure of the pelvic bone and sacrum size. When we look at a human pelvis the sacrum is large and wide in a circle/oval shape, the pelvic structure is thicker in bone size as well as the top of the pelvis has a bigger butterfly effect to it. The Bonobo and monkey pelvis on the other hand is much smaller in both the pelvis shape and sacrum shape. One of the biggest differences is how at the bottom of…

Throughout history, we as humans are driven to survive and reach our full potentials every day. Pursuing this drive to excellence would not be obtainable without our ability to not only create ideas, but to create movements. As simple as this sounds, without the intra-articular joints within our bodies, we couldn’t pursue the drive towards excellence. One of the most important joints within the human body is the hip. This joint provides the human body with the necessary stability and strength to…
