Sternum

The human body is a complicated thing. No one realizes what all goes through the mind just to do a simple task. The different anatomical features in the human body are many as are the physiological aspects in which all of these various organs and nerves work together. There are many types of tissues that come together make up the four main systems in the human body. These systems intertwine and jointly work together for a person to eventually phonate, breathe, or just walk around a room. The…

This procedure involved inserting a stainless-steel bar under the sternum to push the chest wall up. This is done with two small incisions on each…

Nine muscles insert on and move the humerus. First, the pectoralis major originates on the medial half of the clavicle, one side of the sternum, on the costal cartilage (1-7) and the aponeurosis of the external oblique. It inserts on lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus. The pectorals major flexes, medially rotates and adducts the humerus. Second, the deltoid originates from the lateral half part of the clavicle (anterior fibers), the acromion of the scapula (lateral fibers)…

integrity of the chest wall, and as a consequence may develop flail chest or rib fracture. A flail chest results when three or more ribs are fractured at two or more sites or when the ribs become disarticulated from their cartilage attachments with the sternum. The flail moves outward on exhalation which create an increase in pleural pressure and inward on inhalation. This abnormal movement is called paradoxical chest movement. Bony fragments from a fractured rib may lacerate the lung and cause…

Śīla nexus, (which is sīla (Pāli) in Buddhism) is also not a charka but more a nexus point to balance all the energies and is located in the upper chest region of the sternum at the same point as the Thymus gland. In both Sanskrit and Pali Buddhism the word sīla is more an ethical compass within self and relationships, rather than what is associated with cultural expectation of obedience or obligation, and external social…

The hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin), also known as the stinkbird, or Canje pheasant, is a species of tropical bird found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco Delta in South America. It is notable for having chicks that possess claws on two of their wing digits. It is the only member of the genus Opisthocomus (Ancient Greek: "wearing long hair behind", referring to its large crest) which in turn is the only extant genus in the family Opisthocomidae. The taxonomic…

I always knew that I was different and that certain things about my body looked different. However, I never knew that one would cause major health and medical problems for me. When I started puberty in about 7th grade, my sternum started to change. It was deformed and went inwards instead of being flat. My family and I never thought it was a big deal. My brother, Connor, also had the deformity. We just thought it was odd that we both had it and nobody else in our family had it. As high school…

During class we practiced our compression position and rate on dummies. When giving compressions you must use the heel of your palm, while your other hand is interlock on top. You must then place the heel of your palm on the lower half of the sternum. The rate you should aim for is 100-120…
