Driftsun Typhoon Disc Golf Basket This one is not an Innova target but it is one of the most popular on Amazon. It is a high quality basket you'll want to consider to buy to if you want to bring your practice to a new level. It's excellent for practice due to its DGA regulation size. If you want practice, make it a meaningful and a productive one. It's also portable, and makes it a good choice for semi-permanent practice. It is not really easily moveable due to its weight, but that secures it…

The bones that make up the clavicle, sternum, and clavicle go through the growth process known as intramembranous osteogenesis. In this process, the osteoblasts form bone matrix and become osteocytes. The osteocytes connect with other osteocytes to form a network allowing for nutrients to be…

Neurological Factors Affecting Movement Voluntary human movement is regulated and controlled by complex interactions within our central and peripheral nervous systems. The three major types of sensory input come from the visual (eyes), vestibular (inner ear), and somatic (body) sensory systems. The somatic sensory receptors found in muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, and skin are collectively known as proprioceptors and they gather information about body position and the direction and…

Bone Marrow Bone marrow is soft, gelatinous tissue found in hollow spaces in the interior of most bones. It is highly vascular and enriched with many blood vessels and capillaries. The average weight of bone marrow is about four percent of the total body weight (Bone Marrow Anatomy). Bones that contain bone marrow are: the hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae, shoulder blade and thigh bone. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells. It is the place where new blood cells…

Born and raised out in the woods, I've always been the adventurous sort. I love to go new places, try new things, and be outdoors. A waste of time in my eyes is a crime; I always want to be doing something. I love animals; I have two dogs and a cat but would love to have more. I used to have chickens and a goat, and I miss having them. Due to where I was raised, I am an introvert. Although in the past year or so, I have been striving to be better in social environments. In my early years, I…

the 60,000 miles of blood vessels that make up this system ("Heart, 2015"). About the size of a clenched fist, the heart is located in the middle of the chest, between the lungs and nestled behind the ribcage. It lies a little to the left of the sternum. The shape of the heart is reminiscent of an upside down pear with arteries and veins branching from its upper and lower regions. On the inside, the heart is separated into four chambers. The upper two chambers are the right and left atria and…

Munchausen by proxy is a sickening form of child abuse where the caregiver, usually the mother, creates symptoms for their child in order to get attention from medical professionals. In Sickened by Julie Gregory it accounts the beginning of her life made up of hospital visits and tests. Only after leaving the care of her mother, Julie Gregory realized what had actually happened to her. She was never really sick her mother was. In this memoir Julie Gregory sets out to tell the truth of…

Her eyes were a cold ice blue, faded and filled with sadness. Her skin was flawless, fair, pale and smooth. Of course, that was excluding the birthmark on her torso, which looked like a vertical scar from the bottom of her collarbone to her sternum. She hated it, but lived with it, never wearing anything that might reveal it. Because of her hatred, naturally this little girl's favorite pastime was being a pest. A rat in everyone's hair with the soul purpose to inflict an irksome trait to…

noticed her losing a bit of weight after our thanksgiving break. I thought that it was just a diet at first. Then one day at practice she was rehearsing a ballet piece called “Nikita”, which required her to wear a bikini and a veil. I noticed that her sternum and rib cage bones were sticking out of her body. Something was not right, she was anorexic. As time passed I did not speak to her about the condition she was in, because my teacher did. Foster did get thin and thinner, almost too thin to…

The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability and it is responsible for the movement of the body. The strong protective skeletal layer protects vital organs. For example rib cage protects the heart, kidneys and lungs from any traumatic injury. Bones provide framework that supports and keeps the body from collapsing. It is the major supporting structure of the body. The bone is classified by their shape or structure as cortical bones are dense and compact and cancellous is spongy.…
