note that the lengthening was not consistent," said Nikos Solounias, a giraffe anatomy expert and paleontologist at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine. "First, only the front part of the C3 vertebra lengthened in one group of species. The second stage was the elongation of the back part of the C3 neck vertebra. The modern giraffe is the only species that underwent both stages, which is why it has a remarkably long neck."…

There are many bones in the human body, the bones make up the skeleton that provides structure and support for the body. This paper will list some major bones and the muscles that are connected to these muscles. The first major bone on the list is the tibia, which is located in the lower leg. The muscle that connects to the tibias origin is the hamstring, which helps with flexibility and strength in the legs. Another muscle would be the clavicle which is in the insertion of the trapezius…

The normality of a spinal cord is to have functional spinal nerves, strong protective connective tissue and vertebras. Certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) will have an impact with the spinal structure and its functions. Part of the central nervous system (CNS), the spinal cord help assist the brain to carry out every day routines. The spinal cord is significant structure in the body that is 45 centimeters in length. The spinal cord is part of a…

The anatomy of a vertebra consists of the body, two pedicles, two transverse processes, pars interarticularis, spinous process, and both superior and inferior articular facets; two of each, total of four. When assessing the 45-degree oblique image, certain structures of the vertebra appear within the vertebral bodies that create a visualization of a “Scottie dog”. The Scottie dog is used as a reference to indicate proper positioning of the patient and is used as a tool to help in making the…

There is bone checking on cervical, thoracic, vertebrae. These bones are irregular, so they gathered by cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. The gatherings have different measures of vertebras for everyone. The cervical spine aggregate has seven vertebras. The thoracic spine aggregate has twelve. There are five vertebrae's in the lumbar spine. The last section is sacrum, and there is five vertebrae's in the sacrum excluding the three vertebrae's in the coccyx. "Bone markings along the edge of…

Geometry can be applied to a lot of professions. Physical therapy is just one of the professions that have geometry involved in their job. We all know that geometry would most likely deal with angles. So, in what particular activity does geometry help in being a physical therapist? Some of the physical therapy clinics are retraining runners when their technique causes injury and the main diagnosis always comes down to the geometry of a runner's stride. According to Moncivais (2015), “running is…

chiropractic then just getting out of neck or back pain. Most people do not understand the true benefit of a chiropractic adjustment. What is the nervous system? It is the central computer that runs the body. When there are subluxations, miss aligned vertebra, it can cause the body ill health. When the body is well balanced…

As mentioned earlier, the vertebral column consists of five regions. These regions are cervical (neck), thoracic (upper and mid back), lumbar (lower back), sacral and coccyx. Some of the structures that would be affected by the incident are the intervertebral discs, due to the compression that was placed on the head. If the vertebral discs structure is severely compressed, the inner material, known as the nucleus pulposus, that is inside the discs could leak out and cause herniation. Herniation…
