Anatomy is a study of the structure or internal workings of something and physiology is the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. A cosmetologist practice beautifying the face, hair and skin of their clients and a nail tech purpose is to take care of both finger and toenails. Anatomy and physiology are vital to cosmetologist and nail techs because both professions have to have a clear understanding of how the human body functions as a combined whole in order to comprehend how a client’s hair, skin, and nails may react to various chemicals, treatments and services. Also understanding the bones and muscle structure of the human body will help you use the proper application of services and …show more content…
The human foot is an incredibly complex part of the body, it is made up of twenty-six bones which is fully twenty-five percent of the bones in the entire body. The structure of the forefoot includes the five metatarsal bones and the phalanges. The metatarsal bones are for forward movement and provides attachment for several tendons. The phalanges, also known as the toes, movement take place in the joints. The foot movement only has two movements; inversion and eversion. All the joints in the hindfoot and midfoot contributes to these complex movements. The foot has two significant functions: weight bearing and impulsion, which both requires a high degree of stability. The foot must also be flexible so it is able to adapt to uneven surfaces. The various bones and joints of the foot are what allows the foot to be flexible. In order for the foot to be able to support any weight the various of bones must form an arch. The foot has three arches that are maintain by the shape of the bones and by the ligaments. The arches are supported by the muscles and tendons. A foot is a strong, flexible, and durable it allows us to daily activities as we please while carrying all the
A stress fracture may be one of the most provoking injuries a runner can develop. Runners just always want to improve their personal best time and challenge themselves on how far they can run. But runners never pay attention to what they can do to their feet in the long term. This fracture usually occurs after a sudden increase in activity, and result from overuse. As a runner’s distance increases or intensity of the run, adjustment of the muscles may occur rapidly than bones. The human foot has five metatarsal bones. The big toe is labeled number one; the little toe is number five. Metatarsal stress fractures happen typically in numbers two, three, and four bones enduring the greatest shock when the foot strikes the ground. This becomes imbalance and accommodated when the exercise routine is advance gradually. When muscular contractions are rapid in can overcome the re-modeling bony architecture, and the bone cannot take any more stress, the crack occurs and metatarsal stress fracture develops.

The soleus, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior contract isometrically to keep the ankle stable at 90 degrees (Teachpe.com n.d.) (The previous reference was used to identify key joint types and muscles throughout my analysis). The knee joint is extended when in the standing position, to stabilize this joint the biceps femoris, semi-mebranosus, semi-tendonosus (hamstrings) and the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus transcriptis and vastus medialis (quadriceps) co-contract isometrically. The vertebral column of the body remains stable due to the isometric co-contraction of the erector spinae, rectus abdominus and the external and internal obliques.... ...
Of the possible hundreds, approximately twenty muscles work together to give the joint it stability and motion. Of the twenty, five major groups of muscles are responsible for dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, supination, pronation, eversion, inversion, adduction, and abduction. From the dorsal view, the following muscles are responsible for mostly dorsiflexion movement: The Extensor Digitorum Longus run from the lateral condyle to the distal of the second to fifth digit. The Extensor Hallicus Longus run from the shaft of the tibia to the great toes. The Tibialis Anterior travel from lateral condyle to the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal bone. The Peroneus Brevis run from the distal portion of the fibia shaft to the fifth metatarsal and is responsible for eversion of the foot. The Peroneus Longus run from distal portion of the tibia and lateral condyle of the tibia to the first cuneiform and the first metatarsal bone. Lastly, the Extensor Digitorum Brevis run from the calcaneus anteriorly to the first fourth proximal part of the phalanges. The plantar side consists of the following: Tibialis Anterior that run from both the fibula and tibia and connect to all three of the cuneiform, the navicular, and the calcaneus. The Flexor Hallicus Longus run from the distal part of the fibula and travel all the way down to the great toes. The Flexor Digitorum Brevis run from the tibia travel down to the four-distance digit. The Lumbricales began from the tendon of the Flexor Digitorum Longus and end at the tendon of the Flexor Digitorum Longus on the second to the fifth toes. The Flexor Digitorum Brevis began at the calcaneus and end at the center phalanges of the second to the fifth toes. The Flexor Hallicus Brevis began from the cuboid and the cuneiform and end at phalanges of the great
One important body system is the circulatory system. The systems job is to pump blood to all parts of the body. The blood circulates inside of many tubes and blood vessels which are found in your body. Blood vessels carry the blood to all parts of the body. Oxygen goes into the blood every time we take a breath. Carbon dioxide is a kind of gas. The blood carries carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. When a person breathes out, the body is getting rid of carbon dioxide. Your circulatory system works twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It even works when you are sleeping. The circulatory system delivers food, fluids and chemicals to cells throughout your body. It helps to clear your body of waste and carries cells that fight diseases. If your circulatory system would stop working, your cells would starve. Sometimes a doctor would give a patient a vaccine directly into the circulatory system so the medicine should travel to the parts of the body that need it. The circulatory system is made up of three main parts: the heart, the blood vessels, and the blood. The two main kinds of blood vessels are arteries and veins. There are also smaller vessels called capillaries. Arteries and veins are connected by capillaries. A heart of a human is a muscle. The heart has a left side and right side. On the right side, blood enters the heart from the body and then goes from the right side of the heart and to the lungs. In the lungs, it picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart. The oxygen and the blood are then pumped to the body. The heart contains valves. The valves function is to keep the blood flowing in one direction. Each side of the heart is divided into two parts. The upper chamber is called an...
(2000) suggested that high-heeled shoes increase the reaction force activity and knee torque, which may contribute to the degeneration of the patellofemoral compartment. (Stefanyshyn et al., 2000) The increase on knee flexion can be explain to be a compensatory mechanism to reduce the increases in ground reaction forces according to Ucanok et al. (2006).
The bones provide the solid base on which the tendons and ligaments are fixed. They are very resistant to being compressed, bent and stretched.
There are three-foot movements in gait the heel rocker, ankle rocker, and forefoot rocker. The heel rocker starts when the foot makes initial contact or heel strike with the ground and ends at foot flat. This is where the ankle is usually at ninety degrees of plantar flexion and it is the motion that is typically blocked by the AFO’s (331). The ankle rocker is the second movement in the gait pattern. It is when the foot is in full contact with the ground and ends at heel off. Then the forefoot rocker begins which is the third foot movement in the gait pattern. The forefoot rocker begins at heel off and it continues until the foot is off of the ground. At this point during gait the toes start to extend about fifty-five degrees before the foot leaves the ground (331). Extending the toes during gait helps allow the body to move forward over the foot. So if the forefoot rocker is blocked during gait the child may not be able to move forward. The child may compensate by shortening the foot length or doing inversion or eversion of the foot (332).
The fibula is a leg bone located on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and the slenderest of all the long bones, and plays a significant role in stabilizing the ankle and supporting the muscles of the lower leg. The fibula is the smaller, non-weight bearing, of the two bones in the lower leg, while the tibia is the larger, weight bearing bone. The fibula and tibia moves very little relative to each other and the joints that it forms contribute significantly to the function of the lower leg. The joint it forms permit the fibula to adjust its position relative to the tibia, increasing the range of motion of the ankle. Fibular fractures are not often a severe injury, because the bone is supports only about 17% of the body weight.
Have you ever had an event in your life change your perception on someone or something? That happened in my life, while I took my Anatomy and Physiology class. I had never known what I wanted to do in my future. I never even had an area of study that truly interested me, interested me enough to possibly want to work on it for the rest of my life. All through my earlier school years I always thought that science was about rocks, space, earth, and animals. Science was always my least favorite subject due to that and I never thought that I would ever love it. When I took the Anatomy and Physiology class, my paradigm shift happened. Due to that class I have figured out that I want to have a future in Radiology and that I love health/human body
The practice of improving the beauty of others may seem insignificant to some but for those in process of studying the cosmetology industry take great pride in the work they hope to produce. Hair stylist and nail technicians improve the way people look and feel about oneself to better improve self confidence; cosmetologist strive to do the best they can to achieve the look that their client may be searching for. However, these techniques must be taught thoroughly and without the proper teaching techniques, the upcoming cosmetologist may feel behind and uncertain about their abilities when performing on clients. Without the proper and professional ways of teaching, the student struggle to ever gain success in the business; this business builds only from the repetition of great work and failing to achieve the overall style of the desired look from the client will result in a failing business. The search of finding a successful and up to date school requires more work than one may assume.
Chapter 1 of Anatomy & Physiology, The Unity of Form and Function (Eighth Edition) by Saladin is an introduction to the major themes of Anatomy and Physiology. These themes include the history and origin of Anatomy and Physiology, the scientific method, origins and adaptations of humans, structure and functions of the human body and medical terminology.
One of the human anatomy system supplies humans’ structure and development. This system is the skeletal system. The skeletal system in the body provides with the shape, support, and movement of the body, and protects its organs. The bones in the humans body protect it with and supports its organs from any external force acted upon it. The major organs such as the heart and the brain are supported and protected by bones. The ribs in the body form a cage to support and protect the heart. While similarly, the skull supports and protects the brain from any external force. The skeletal system provides movement because of the way the bones are attached to the joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments allowing the body to move...
Cosmetology has been around for a long time but the main thing that makes up cosmetology is the beauty of hair. How the hair looks and smells is an important thing for woman and men. It can also be a difficult thing for some people because there are many steps to keep your hair strong and healthy. The first thing you need to know is the tools you will need to keep your hair up. Each style you do have its own tool to use. For example some ladies use hair scissors to make the
Support is a very important fuction as without the skeleton the body would have no means of staying upright as almost all of the body tissues are soft this helps gives the body structure. The Skeleton plays an important role in the protection of the organs for example the skull protects the brain and the ribcage protect the lungs.The skeleton assists in the movement of the body as the ligaments in the body attach bone to bone and the tendons attach muscle to bone. To create movement the muscular system and the skeletal system work together creating the musculoskeletal. The skeleton can begin to move once the muscles contract. The fifth function of the skeleton is the formation of joints, these are essential to create movement within the body. Muscle attachment allows the bones to move. This is done by the muscles attaching to the bones by tendons. Minerals such as calcium salts and phosphorus are stored in the bones. The final function of the skeletal system is the formation of blood cells; most of the blood cells for the body are produced by red bone
