are injuries that affect the tissues that connect the bones in the neck (cervical spine). A strain is when muscles or tissues (tendons) that connect muscles to bones stretch or tear. A sprain is when the tissues (ligaments) that connect bones to one another stretch or tear. Cervical strains and sprains usually happen because of "whiplash" injuries. These are injuries caused by a sudden forward and backward whipping movement of the head and neck. These conditions can range from mild to severe. A
biceps brachii and its opposing muscle the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii consists of two heads, which arise from the scapula and join to form a single muscle that ends upon the upper forearm. The most important functions of the biceps brachii are the supination of the forearm and the flexing of the elbow. The triceps brachii on the other hand extends the forearm in both minks and humans and has three heads as opposed to two in its antagonist biceps brachii (Scott). The origin of the triceps brachii
Bone and soft-tissue sarcomas can develop from many different tissues such as the bone or muscle. Sarcomas can occur anywhere in the body and are not common. Sarcomas may be found in the trunk, internal organs, head and neck area, and the back area of the abdominal cavity. There are approximately 50 different types of soft tissue sarcomas that can occur in the body. Symptoms of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas are lumps, pain in stomach or digestive tract, swelling in the area of pain, weight loss and
the acetabulum and the head of femur creating a synovial ball and socket joint. It is one of the largest and most stable joints in the body. Figure ( ): Anatomy of the hip, adapted from (Connecticut, 2006) The stability of the hip joints is achieved by the depth and congruence of the articular surfaces, further deepened and stabilized by the acetabular labrum. The fibrocartilagenous labrum increases acetabular coverage to just overhalf of the surface area of the femoral head. Stability is further
skewed reality, but in the foreground there appears to be a head of a man on top of what looks like to be the bone of a leg morphed into a knife. Dali uses texture in the head of the man with the lack of detail and sharpness to make hair. There is also a smooth texture created on the bones from blending the oil paints gently. But for the neck and hands, he has sharp lines to show strains in the muscles. There are also other body parts and bones of a man conjoining into each other to create a geometric
from a total of 206 bones. These bones contribute to the skeleton, the internal framework of the body. The skeleton is divided into two different structures; the Axial skeleton and the Appendicular skeleton. The Axial skeleton gives the human body posture; it’s made up from 80 bones, consisting of the Skull, Sternum, Vertebrae and the Ribs. (In red) The Appendicular skeleton gives the body the ability to move, and it protects the major organs. It’s made up from a total of 126 bones, including the shoulder
calling it. After another regular trip to the doctor's office I find out that I broke my 12th bone. Most of my friends and family members haven’t broken anything at all. So, when I ask why I’m breaking all of these bones and ask if I have leukemia or some condition they just simply say, I’m unlucky. The most important bone I have broken was when I was in the third grade and broke one of my vertebrates in my neck. Later that day when I was informed I would not be able to play any type of football for
Pivot joints are found in your neck and your elbow and only allows rotation whereas a hinge joint can be found in your elbow, knee and ankle and allows flexion and extension. Both joints are uni-axial but are made up of different bones, pivot joints being made up of irregular bones and hinge joints are made up of long bones. They are both different to look at for example, a pivot joint is a ring around a peg where as a hinge joint is a cylinder in a troth. Both joints can be used I sport for example
the body in a network of tissue. Bones give us form. In sports support and shape are also used for example in a rugby scum, to body needs to be placed in such a way to keep the back aligned. [IMAGE] Movement/ Attachment: The skeleton is jointed to allow movement. A joint is an articulation of two or more connecting bones, providing us with either stability or movement. Muscles are attached to our bones by tendons, and ligaments attach bone to bone. Movement is very important to any

the head and neck. These nerves serve a variety of functions, both sensory and motor, and are responsible for moving the muscles in the face, head and neck, and receiving information the brain can interpret into all five sense. Appendix A outlines each cranial nerve, it’s sensory and/or motor function, and the foramen in the bones of the skull it passes through. The facial nerve fibers originate from the pons, lateral to the abducens nerves (Marieb & Hoehn). Branches enter the temporal bone through
call Sauroposeidon, could raise its massive head over eighteen meters into the air, but this was only possible because their neck bones were so light, almost 85% hollow (name). Like Sauroposeidon, other kinds of dinosaurs’ bones were honeycombed with empty spaces. In fact, everybody already knows that birds have hollow bones as well, and a lot of people believe that’s an adaptation for flight. Scientists learned that birds inherited their hollow light bones from their extinct ancestors, gigantic dinosaurs
Neck pain is defined as pain between the occiput and third thoracic vertebrae (Cote et al., 2003) and is a common debilitating condition (Carroll et al., 2008). It is estimated 30-50% of all adults will develop neck pain at some point in their lives and of those affected, 11-14% will experience a degree of work-related limitation (Cote et al., 2008). Studies conducted in South African settings reported that the prevalence of neck pain was 50% in the Caucasian population and 45% in the indigenous
Clinical evaluation: Initial evaluation of a patient with dental trauma should include the following: full physical examination of the head, neck and face assessment of possible injuries to adjacent areas and structures include. 1) CT of the head, neck and maxillofacial bones, 2) periapicaal radiography, 3) panoramic radiography of the teeth. Management: treatment of dental trauma varies according to the type of injury involved. i) fracture, ii) avulsion
barrel one; Dancer’s hoof’s circle the barrel. With every step that he takes I hope that he does not fall and collapse. We gallop to barrel two; Dancer trots around the barrel, safely we make it. I kick Dancer on the sides to make him go faster. We head to barrel three, at a rapid speed. As soon as Dancer was about to round the barrel, his back right leg hit the back of the barrel. From the compact, Dancer lost control and began to fall to the
Helena Vassiliades A & P 4th Dr. Welch May 17, 2016 Cat Dissection LAB I. Introduction: Dissection is important and valuable to the avid scientist because the best way to understand and figure out how a system works is to see it. Comparative anatomy concerns the subject area of dissecting a mammal close in relation to another and then comparing the different structures found in each dissection. David Brookes, a member of a board of education in Carolina, recommends, “If you want kids to learn
two hundred and six bones in the human body. Functions such as the tendons, cartilage, and ligaments connect the bones and tissues together. Bone tissues make up about 18% of the weight of the human body. There are two types of tissue inside the bones. They consist of; compact bone and spongy bone. First, compact bone depicts the main shaft of long bones in the human body such as the arms and legs. Its tissue is dense and hard and it also makes up the outer layer of most bones in our body. Meanwhile
concerned about developing is osteoporosis. The bones in our bodies are living tissue, and there is an ongoing process of replacement and reabsorption. When this process is interrupted in a way that the new bone doesn’t keep up with removing the old bone, osteoporosis can happen. Studies tell us that men and women are affected, but Caucasian and Asian women who are post menopause are at a higher risk of developing this bone disease. It causes bones to be brittle and weak so that even a small fall
system frames our entire bodies and protects our fragile inner organs. We have two major types of bone in our body: compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is dense and looks smooth, while spongy bone is comprised of small needle-like pieces of bone with lots of open spaces. Our body contains 206 bones. The skeleton is separated into axial and appendicular sections. The axial skeleton includes the bones in the longitudinal axis of our body. The appendicular skeleton consists of the limbs and girdles
Research has shown that in 1968, an x-ray showed that there were bone fragments in King Tutankhamun’s skull and believed he could have been beaten to death (King, 2006). There is also said that King Tut had suffered some massive trauma (National Geographic, 2013). Bob Brier, the world's foremost Egyptologists and mummy expert circumstances “the blow was to the protected area to the back of the head which you don’t injure in an accident, someone had to sneak up from behind” (King
