Football is a game that brings people and families closer in America and puts smiles on their faces. For example every thanksgiving there is a NFL football game played every single year. Where tons of families across the country gather around eat great food and watch grown men’s bodies…

Describing the Roles of Sensory Receptors, Sensory Neurons and Specialized Sensory Receptors Sensory neurons are nerve cells within the nervous system that convert external stimuli from an individual’s environment into internal electrical impulses that can be transmitted from one neuron to another. For example, taste buds located in our mouth are sensory neurons that work with olfactory receptors in order to determine the flavour of the food. They are able to do this, in simple terms, because a…

FOP affects the Skeletal system in the way that tendons and ligaments, key connective structures, are ossified, turned to bone, possibly severely inhibiting movement. The inflammation involved in EL can damage, or destroy, certain regions of the brain. Because of the damage caused, the…

Common leg injuries are some of the most inhibiting and destructive injuries that can occur. Countless studies have been conducted to reveal if there is a way to possibly prevent these occurrences. Symptoms often develop from everyday usage, overuse, or an injury. Leg injuries are most likely to occur from sports activities. Most of these leg injuries in children and teens occur from playing sports or falls. The risk for these types of injuires increase during contact sports and high-speed…

in balancing the body while walking. Skeletal muscles act on the bones and this helps in the locomotion of the body or walking. Walking occurs with the help of joints and contraction of muscles. Proprioceptors are present in the skeletal muscles, tendons and in the fibrous capsules of joints. They help in walking by sensing the relative position of the neighboring parts of the body and the strength of the effort involved in walking. The brain collects the information from proprioceptors and…

Experience the wonders of the strapping tapes Therapeutic tape lessens chronic muscle pain in a healthier way than any treatment and is improved than other techniques, according to a new-fangled analysis. This tape, that habitually goes by a name Kinesio, can occasionally be perceived on the skin of prestigious athletes, and is claimed to decrease pain and encourage healing by boosting circulation to the underneath tissues. This is claimed by the researchers in the famed journals of sports…

1. After long term exposure to altitude, the body makes several adjustments in order to perform physical activity in the hypoxic condition. A) What chronic adaptations are most beneficial for performance at altitude? When one goes into high altitudes their immediate response are somewhat negative the increase in ventilation, decrease in carbon dioxide, respiratory alkalosis, being in a hypoxic state and many more. However, when having an exercise performance such as the winter Olympics one…

system consists of connective tissues whereas it comprises of cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments. The skeletal system also functions as a means of providing mobility and a storage unit for minerals, fats and production of blood cells. There are different components that make up the skeleton. The skeleton is firm, yet flexible from its fibrous connective tissues filled with minerals all known as the bone, cartilage, tendons, joints, and ligaments. The bone is comprised of collagen and…

The Glenoid Labrum: Labral Tear Number Twenty-Two PED161 2 LABRAL TEAR The Glenoid Labrum is a protective disk of fibrocartilage that surrounds and deepens the cavity of the Glenoid. The labrum allows for full range of motion, stability, and cushioning in the shoulder. It is attached to the edge of the shoulder socket and supports the ball of the joint -or the head of the arm bone, known as the humerus- in order to stay in place. When the fibrocartilage of the labrum is torn, it is…

Mrs. Watson, being a schoolteacher, means being on her feet for long periods of time and as she mostly wears slip on shoes her feet and ankles will not be receiving an adequate amount of support. That along with no reported trauma and no significant medical history or abnormal test results leads me to believe that the cause of injury is overuse/gradual onset and could possibly be a form of tendinitis. As there is no specific area mentioned as to where the pain is located, it is difficult to…
