Skull

when there is an impact or sudden motion that brings the head to an abrupt stop, slamming the brain into the skull. This injury is known as coup-contrecoup. When the brain starts to bounce back and forth inside of the head then that part of the brain that hits the skull will be damaged, meaning the brain is injured on direct impact. When the brain bounces back to the opposite side of the skull then the opposite side of the brain is also injured. Coup-contrecoup injuries are comprised of damage…

things, and the most reported symptom is bone pain. Other symptoms include joint stiffness, visible deformities of the bones, bones easily fracture, and warm skin over affected area. The major areas that are targeted by the disease are the pelvis, skull, spine, and legs. The cause of this disease is unknown, but is currently being studied by scientists. They believe it is linked with genetics. Bones continuously break down and rebuild themselves. When the rate is normal, bones are rebuilt…

An infant’s skull is composed of six cranial bones separated by strong fibrous joints called sutures. The coronal suture runs from one ear to the other ear and separates the frontal bone from the two parietal bones. The sagittal suture separates the two parietal bones. The lambdoidal suture separates the two parietal bones and the occipital bone. There is also the metopic suture that divides the two halves of the frontal bone in children. This suture usually disappears by the age of six.…

Mutations in the FGFR2 gene mapped to chromosome 10q25 and 10q26 causes Apert syndrome. Saritha, Sumangala, Supriya & Kumar (2013), explained that the protein causes prolonged signaling, which promote the premature fusion of bones and sutures of the skull, it also is responsible for fusion of hands and feet bones. Most cases of Apert syndrome occur from a new mutation in the gene. It can also occur in cases where there is no family history of the disorder. Individuals with Apert syndrome can…

appendicular and axial skeletons. • The axial skeleton consists of the following bones. The skull is made of: • There are 2 parietal bones that form the superior and lateral parts of the skull. • There are 2 temporal bones that form the inferolateral parts of the skull. • The frontal bone forms what we know as the forehead (Cancer 2016). • The occipital bone is posterior making up most of the base of the skull. • The ethmoid bone forms the anterior cranial fossa, a portion of the nasal septum,…

after his death. A concussion is an injury to the brain. It can be caused by a blow to the head, or any movement that shakes the brain inside the skull. The brain is a soft organ surrounded by spinal fluid and protected by a hard skull. Normally the fluid acts like a cushion for the brain, but if the blow is hard enough, the brain can crash into the skull and be damaged. Some common symptoms that you could experience after having a concussion would be headaches, blurred vision, and sensitivity…

The NFL—doubtfully the biggest sport in America, of which has millions of viewers—has had a big impact on the American culture. From taking the day of the super bowl off of work to the change in masculinity, football continues to change the culture. Granted many might know just about everything there is to know about the sport, many don’t the suffers of the players. The forceful impact on the body and the head can lead to brain degenerative diseases, to painful body aches, and change in…

Concussions are one of the worst injuries a person can sustain because they affect one of the most vital parts of the body; the brain. Marcos A. Abreu, Wirt Edwards, and Brandon D. Spradley, doctoral student and United States Sports Academy professors, define a concussion in their article “The War Against Concussions” as “a traumatically induced transient disturbance of brain function” (Abreu, Edwards, and Spradley, 2). The issue with concussions is largely about knowing the signs and symptoms,…
