Thoracic vertebrae

Structure of the Axial Skeleton The Axial Skeleton is the midpoint of the body. The function of the Axial skeleton is to protect the vital organs such as the brain, heart and lungs Cranium Sternum and 24 ribs 24 Vertebrae, Sacrum and Coccyx Structure of the Appendicular skeleton Figure 2 The Appendicular skeleton is made up of the upper and lower limbs. Clavicle and Scapula Humerus, Radius and Ulna Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges and Sesamoid Two Pelvis bones Femur, Tibia, Patella and…

Scoliosis Scoliosis is a pathology in which the spine has an abnormal curvature. The vertebrae column has two natural curvatures. First, there is a lordosis in which the spine a slight bend in the posterior direction located in the cervical portion of the vertebrae column. The second curvature the spinal column has is known as a kyphosis, in which the thoracic portion of the spine bends slight anteriorly. Scoliosis is evident when a person has excess curvature of the spine in a lateral…

Ideokinesis, a practice that provides physical benefits in terms of fluidity in movement, posture, and body alignment through the process of imagery and visualization, utilizes multiple techniques in order to train specific body systems such as the skeletal and nervous systems to adapt to newer and healthier neuromuscular methods. A significant mechanism used to teach the benefits of Ideokinesis is the 9 lines of movement. Reflecting on and working towards stabilizing the 9 lines of movement…

Physical Therapy is a huge field of study. Today Physical Therapists can help more people now than ever before, and their help is in demand. Technology and medical advances have made it possible for these professionals to meet society’s huge expectations. All of the benefits society reaps from this profession would not be possible without the use of geometry. Without geometry people who are affected by arthritis, strokes, heart disease, and other conditions that require long term care could not…

As stated before I prefer the modified version of this method that removes the small and large intestines before the thoracic and other abdominal organs. Besides being easier to lift, there is less of a chance that the bowel will be perforated and the field flooded with feces. There are several areas where I still have difficulty, those include finding the ligament of…

-The axial skeleton consists of a the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, vertebral column (spine), sternum bone, and the ribs. -The appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder girdles, upper limbs, pelvic girdles, and lower limbs. -Bones are living tissue that make up the skeleton. They are primarily composed of three types of tissue. These three types are compact tissue, cancellous tissue, and subchondral tissue. -Compact tissue is the outer layer of bones and is harder than the other…

• Describe ossification in fetal development. During development, the fetal bones are made up of cartilaginous tissue, which is like osseous tissue, except it is more flexible. The absence of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces makes it less dense. As development continues, the process of the depositing of calcium salts into the cartilaginous tissue occurs, and continues throughout their life. Ossification is the gradual replacement of cartilage and its intercellular substance by bone…

INTRODUCION Although British have started the game of cricket, it is more followed as a religion in India. Cricket is most popular among all age groups, communities & has no limit of gender.

are the proximal thoracic, main thoracic, and the thoracolumbar region (Miyanji 20). When classifying a curvature, we start by identifying if the curve is structural or nonstructural in each region of the spine; structural curvatures are permanent while nonstructural are not. Each type of curve is made up of a combination of structural and nonstructural regions of the spine. According to an orthopedic specialist, these are the types of curvatures: Main thoracic, Double Thoracic, Double Major,…

fracture occurs when the vertebrae fracture or collapse, not necessarily a result of an evident trauma. Vertebral fractures, the vertebral body are typically compressed in a wedge shape (more evident in lateral projection to the x-ray) due to the normal kyphosis of the thoracic region, which focuses the forces before. In the lumbar vertebral fractures, the vertebral body is generally flattened, sometimes rotated sideways. The collapse may be acute or gradual. Causes- The vertebrae may fracture…
