Introduction. The breast, also known as the mammary or modified sweat gland, is an organ located on both sides of the anterior thoracic region and for purpose of reference, referred to as the right and left breast. It is usually rudimentary in males, but in females, its enlargement could span between the second and sixth rib where it serves as the organ for lactation (Moore et al. 2013; Standring ed. 2015). Though the breast is seen as an organ on the anterior chest wall, a small proportion of…

Aaron had limitations in ROM of UE due to protraction and elevation of the shoulders. He arms stay in a flexed position in sitting, however in supine he has a strong extensor synergy. Aaron’s tone is asymmetrical in that his right side is more affected then his left. There was no observed voluntary movement of his UE. Strength was not tested due to tone. The LE was not tested for tone, strength or ROM due to subluxation of his hips at this time, however LE tone was observed as high extensor tone…

protection to the bodies most important organs, which is fairly significant and important for the bones to be able to do. Besides protection, flat bones are also responsible for muscular attachment. A few examples of flat bones are the sternum, the scapula and even the cranium is considered a flat bone. Next, the irregular bones essentially are bones from the body that mostly have an irregular shape, so therefore they cannot for the most part be classified under the previous categories. A few…

Introduction: There are a number of injuries that occur during an athletic season. No matter what sport you participate in, injuries happen, and there is no way to prevent this from happening. What we can do is prevent the likely hood of these injuries from occurring through mobility and strengthening programs during the season. For example, an athlete who stretches on a daily basis and works out certain parts of their body in season are far less likely to receive an injury than an athlete…

The type of invention that this researchers want to do is create a process where artificial photosynthesis is possible and this would not only help with the environmental problems that is going on in the society right now, like global warming. This would help with global warming because this would decrease the amount of carbon dioxide that would be released into the atmosphere and it would decrease the rate of global warming. Other problem that could be solved with this process is the it could…

and away from your body up and over your head. It also enables us to perform movements like throwing and catching a ball. The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles in the shoulder, connecting the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). But in order for our rotator cuff to perform these tasks and movements, there are four muscles that must work together to achieve this. The muscles the rotator cuff consists of is the supraspinatus muscle, infrapinatus muscle, teres minor…

Exam 2 - Spring 2017 ANTH-1020 Madison Lara Chapter 5 - Process of Macroevolution #4 on Page 119Humans are fairly generalized mammals. What is meant by this? Discuss specific features (characters) to illustrate this statement? Humans have only been able to thrive as much as we have because of our generalization. Specialized species do very well in specific environments but that means that those species depend on a static environment, they cannot be expected to be able to cope with changes in…

1. The hypothalamus is the processing centre that controls the body temperature in the brain, through temperature receptors the skin is able to realize changes to external temperatures which send the information to the brain (hypothalamus). There are also temperature receptors that identify the temperature changes in the blood. The Processing centre triggers for the effectors (these are the sweat glands and muscles) to adapt in order the make sure our body temperature stays at 37°C. If we…
