joint (Starkey, et al., 2011). 23. Supinator a. The supinator originates on the lateral epicondyle/ supinator crest of ulna, and inserts onto the proximal portion of the radius (Starkey, et al., 2011). b. This muscle aids in the motion of forearm supination (Starkey, et al., 2011). 24. Brachialis a. The brachialis originates from the distal anterior half of the humerus, and inserts onto the coronoid process of the ulna/ulnar tuberosity (Starkey, et al.,…

Volley-ball Serve Bioanalysis Oscar Rogers Intro: The game of volleyball is started with a shot called the ‘spike serve’, or better known as the ‘jump serve’, which is an exciting and energetic skill that is captivating for players and spectators alike.

The player starts about five to six meters behind the end line of the court, where they perform a fast run up, a dynamic spike takeoff, and…

Movement: -The positioning of the bones forming the elbow joint produce the hinge synovial joint. This allows the elbow to make extensions and flexion. The extension involves the Triceps brachii and anconeus (the continuation of the tricep brachii). Flexion is involving the; Brachialis, biceps brachii, and brachioradialis. - The bending of a joint part so that the angle decreases and the two parts come closer together, it called Flexion. The straitening of a joint increasing the two parts to…

brachii- origin: Long head: Supraglenoid tubercle above the superior lip of glenoid fossa Short head: Coracoid process of scapula and upper lip of glenoid fossa Insertion: Tuberosity of radius and bicipital aponeurosis Action: Flexion of elbow, supination of forearm, weak flexion of shoulder joint Exercise: Bicep curl, hammer curl, barbell curl. Triceps brachii- origin: Long head: Infraglenoid tubercle below inferior lip of glenoid fossa scapula Lateral head: Upper half of…

Atrophy of the brain that potentially leads to neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia can be caused by a magnitude of diseases and disorders (text book p 782).These disorders include progressive supra-nuclear palsy, Shy- Drager syndrome, and diffuse Lewy body disease to name few. Another neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system, is more commonly known, and affects approximately 800,000 adults just in the United States is Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s normally affects…

This paper introduces the portion of the lower arm called the forearm. The two bones contained within the forearm are described in detail, briefly mentioning their relation to one another. The relevant names and descriptions are depicted of the common bone breaks, dislocations, and the process of acquiring radiographic images in order to identify such forearm trauma. It is pertinent to always get a little more than just the injured bone in the x-ray to rule out something significant just past…
