Tissue in your body is used to help your body move to bend over and pick up a box that is on the floor. Muscular tissue is used to move muscles and bones and connective tissue connects the muscles/tendons to the bones to help with movement. Nervous tissue is also used. It’s needed to tell you to pick up the box and tell your muscles and bones to move the way you do to bend over to pick the box up. First, the rectus abdominus pulls forward to bend over, the latissimus dorsi and gluteus maximus…

Objectives Determining the age at death of a skeleton can be complicated and possibly difficult dependant on state of preservation, bones present, or archaeological context. By using measurements of the present long bones and the data that correlates the fusion times of the distal and proximal epiphyseal unions, an age at time of death can be narrowed down to a less broad range. While this measurement method is not completely accurate, dentition ageing techniques and cross referencing of the…

bone (Smolen & Keystone, 2012). In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes the body's own cells for invaders and attacks healthy cells and organs instead of pathogens (Spriggs, 2014). The two long bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna, are connected through the radioulnar joint, a joint that is divided into a proximal and a distal half (Savvidou, Murphy, Mailhot, Shushan, Scheker, 2013). The distal half is the joint that articulates with the wrist. The DRUJ has a central role…

newborn was born with dorsal mass on her cervico-thoracal region. She was reffered to Genetic department for the evaluation of her anomalies. On her back she had a accessory partial and hypoplastic upper arms (3 fingers – one came-off, hypoplastic ulna, radius, humerus, 2 scapulas) completely covered with skin, that measured approximately 10 cm in diameter, soft in consistency, that showed no movement, sensitive to touch, with spectrum of associated anomalies (Fig. 1). MRI showed…

Image result for aagenaes syndrome This disease is characterized by growth defects. Some defects are brachycephalic, deformities of the humerus, radius and ulna, short and broad hands, hyponastic maxilla, and mental retardation. This is a cystic disease. It is not cirrhosis because it is not active with inflammatory cells. The disorder is probably proliferation and dilation of portal bile ducts. Some other…

As technology advances all around the world, baseball pitchers are exposed to new ways to throw the baseball at high velocities. This is causing baseball to become a lot more competitive. Players are often playing baseball year round instead of participating in other sports. This year round throwing and arm fatigue is putting more stress on pitchers’ elbows than ever before. This is part of the reason why the number of UCL Reconstructions, commonly know as Tommy John Surgery, is on the rise and…

Kaylina “Wally” Nies ANT4525L - Killgrove December 3, 2014 Skeletal Report Many of the medical skeletons that are used for analysis in ANT4525L: Human Osteology come from the Middle East region. They range in how old the bodies were at death to how old they have been deceased and skeletonized. Upon first displaying medical skeleton number four in anatomical order, it was clear that this skeleton was in a better condition than the other skeletons that were assigned. The body had a whiter tint to…

* Neuromusculoskeletal/ Movement --The person will not be able to bend their elbow and holding their arm is also going to represent an issue. Because some of the elbow´s structures (radius, ulna, humerus) are going to be out of their place, movement is going to be impeded. *Skin -- The skin is going to suffer changes , showing swallowing and irritation over the elbow dislocation surface. *Organ System—Organ system structures are not going…

The process of estimating a persons stature from a skeletal remains has a long history in physical anthropology. The correlation between a persons height and the length of their bones, throughout all ages allows the osteologist a better frame from which they can reconstruct an individuals stature, with the use of different skeletal elements. The use of body collections such as the Hamann and Todd collection that house around 2,600 skeletal remains of individual, who died in the 1900’s are…

to be able to recognise these differences and use this knowledge to determine whether a specimen is human or not. POST-CRANIAL MORPHOLOGY Non-human mammals are typically quadrupedal in nature. In quadrupeds, it is seen that the humerus, radius and ulna are more robust and this is because they have been designed to withstand the full weight of an animal’s body. Humans, however, are bipeds and the bones of their arms are designed for rotation rather than support. Because of this, the biped arm…
