Tendon

assignment it will be based on different reflexes of the knee jerk reflex between boys and girls. This reflex is called a stretch reflex and it happens when you tap the tendon below the patella, or kneecap. I choose this assignment because I want to see the different time measurement of how fast a boy’s and girl’s reactions of the tendon can reflex, because reflexes affects our daily lives as part of a survival skill. What I did in this assignment is I had each boy and girl sit down in a chair…

the range of motion and strength of shoulder flexion and abduction. Cite stuff Introduction to Rotator Cuff Tears Rotator cuff tears are tendinous tears of the muscles of the rotator cuff, most often involving the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons (Kim et al., 2010). There are two types of rotator cuff tears, partial-thickness and full-thickness (Edwards et al., 2016). Rotator cuff tears are also split into two causes of injury, with a conditional combination of the two, and four sizes,…

self-reduction of the knee. The MRI indicated a substantial posterolateral corner injury, which is atypical because posterolateral damage is often unnoticed via MRI. The repair graft of the LCL was unique in that a cadaver posterior tibial tendon was chosen over a hamstring tendon or autograph. Conclusion: Overall the case presented atypical of a knee…

Are Anabolic Steroids made for Athletes? In a world of fast growing technologies and new innovations in medicine, it is hard to use these innovations the intended way they were structured for, even though their authentic use is vital in the medical field, a lot of people use them for personal benefits to achieve a certain goal while ignoring the side effects that are genuinely meant to fit the patient that is acquiring the indisposition. Anabolic steroids are one of these innovations which are…

hyoid bone, vertebral column and thoracic cage. Additionally, the appendicular skeleton consists of one hundred and twenty six bones that are part of the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, upper and lower limbs. Bones are connected to joints, ligaments, tendons and cartilage, which makes up the human skeletal system. The skeletal system has three major functions, which include, support, protection, and movement. Although all adults contain the same amount of bones in the body, males and females…

Every day in the field of science is a new day filled with new discoveries. Along with these discoveries we are slowly being able to better understand the world around us and make cures for the incurable along the way. Within the past couple of decades, science has advanced so fast that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with all the changes and to be able to accept them as reality. However, when there are new scientific discoveries there are often debates on its reliability and whether or not it’s…

206 bones,well as the network of many tendons, ligaments and cartilage. They perform many of functions in your body, it supports, creates movement, protection, your blood cell production, your calcium storage and the endocrine regulation. Bones in our body support us and protect us. The bones of the legs, pelvis, Are back hold up the body to maintain are posture, the jaw supports the teeth, mostly all the bones in our body support our muscles and tendons in our body. They also protect our…

In the case of ankle injuries, there is the Lauge-Hansen system of classification,…

There are many different beliefs towards what brings us to success. In The Sports Gene by David Epstein, it is explained that innate and physical talents are what allow people to succeed. In Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell explains that effort and practice is what brings us to the top. Epstein and Gladwell both put forth arguments about how much in our lives we control, however, based on evidence Gladwell definitely shows that effort and practice is what we control to make us…

What is meant by “agonist and antagonist muscle pairs”? Give an example What is meant by agonist in muscle pairs is that it does the majority of the workload in an exercise and is considered the prime mover (primarily responsible for movement). The antagonist in respect to the agonist counteracts. The antagonist helps allow the agonist to perform a task. An example could be the biceps brachii contracts when doing elbow flexion. While the antagonist would be the triceps brachii relaxing during…
