it’s split up into two parts. These can be identified as the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.

It runs up the lateral sides of the neck, then splits into the anterior cerebral artery and the middle cerebral artery. The anterior cerebral artery supplies blood to the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes as well as the corpus callosum. The middle cerebral artery supplies the lateral portions of the…

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Depending on the anatomical position of the body part, certain prefixes, and suffixes are utilized in order to find its location verbally. These prefixes and suffixes can be described by the: size of the muscle, location of the muscles, direction of the muscle fibers, amount of origins, shape of a muscle, and location of a muscle origin/insertion.…

to provide the body with support, protection, movement, storage for minerals and lipids, and to produce red blood cells. The axial skeleton includes the skull, thoracic cage and vertebral column. The skull protects the brain, the thoracic cage protects the heart and lungs, and the vertebral column protects the spinal cord. The appendicular skeleton includes the pectoral girdle, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs. This allows for movement, protection and…

In 2003, United States of America was a leading global exporter of beef and veal (Hanrahan & Becker, 2006, p.1).
