The skeletal system includes the skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage, pectoral and pelvic girdle, and the upper and lower limbs. The skeletal system is made up of two different regions, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (see Figure 1, Appendix A) The average baby is born with 270 bones which fuse together as they age and decrease to about 206 bones by late teens, early twenties. The skeletal system provides support, protection, production, storage (Saladin, 2015). The Skull…

Clavicle: The Clavicle (collarbone) is a curved bone above the ribs which connect the arms to the trunk of the body. Ribs: The ribs protect the chest cavity where many vital organs such as the heart, lungs and blood vessels are found. The ribs are anterior and posterior. Sternum: The sternum (breastbone) is a flat bone located in the middle of the chest. Humerus: The humerus is found in the upper arm…

Cervical: The heart is located in the neck with the sternum Thoracocervical: The heart is partially in the cervix, but sections of the sternum are split. Thoracic: The sternum is completely split, while the heart lies either completely or partially outside the thorax. Thoracoabdominal: A part of Cantrell's syndrome. Abdominal: The heart enters abdominal cavity after passing through a defect in the diaphragm.…

Cervicofacial Actinomycosis is a relatively rare disease that occurs infrequently in the United States. In developing countries, the detection of Cervicofacial Actinomycosis is more common due to poor oral hygiene and untreated dental caries. Increased awareness of complicated bacterial dental infections in the United States has led to a more proactive approach in treating and preventing Actinomycosis. Described by Vyas (2011), Actinomyces Israelli is a bacterium that can lead to Actinomycosis…

In the skeletal system, bones protect vital organs. The cranium, and thoracic cavity, as well as many others. The bones contain calcium, and other minerals needed by the body. Bone marrow contains red blood cells, lymphocytes, and other immune fighting cells. The muscular system assists in homeostasis in many ways. The heart supplies…

glucose into the blood. Insulin release from the beta cells occurs when blood glucose levels rise. Somatostatin is also released by delta cells and are inhibitors to GH, insulin and glucagon. Gonads: In females the ovaries are located in the pelvic cavity and release two main hormones. Estrogen and progesterone. The male gonads are the testes, which in the male are located in the scrotal sac located near the anus. Testes are responsible to testosterone production that promotes maturation of the…
