consists of 206 bones and has other body attachments that assist in connecting them which are tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. The skeletal system provides vital functions for the human body. The functions this system provides are support, movement, protection, blood cell production, storage for calcium and endocrine regulation. Bone serves as the basic unit of the human skeletal system. Ossification is characterized as a process that produces new bone. This process is also known as bone formation.
confluence of various advanced and improved technologies is bringing the age of robotic technology ever cheaper, nearer, smaller and cost effective. There are three aspects of any robot which are brawn, bone and brain. Brawn means the strength relating to physical payload that a robot can move. Next, bone stands for the physical structure of a robot relative to the task it does. This determines the weight and size that the robot in relation to its physical payload. Lastly, brain indicates the robotic

The Common Application Essay Question: My passion for ballet ignited in preschool when a guest ballet teacher handed out a flyer. Beyond ecstatic, I held onto the flimsy flier with my two small hands to ensure that my mother would sign me up so I could dream of sparkling tutus, pink slippers and bouquets of roses.

The goals of scoliosis surgery are straighten the spine as much as possible in a safe technique, balance the torso and pelvic areas, and maintain the correction long term. For instance fusing the vertebrae along the curve and supporting these fused bones with instrumentation (steel rods, hooks, and other devices) attached to the spine. Surgery is usually recommended for the following children and adolescents, In addition all young
affect her bone structure. The upper and lower appendages and the neck structure of female athletes have been known to experience detrimental effects when subjected to the loading modalities, and the different stages of menopause affect the bone mineral densities in specific parts of the bone structure in female athletes. Various sports have been shown to help develop higher bone masses at loaded bone sites. For example, high-impact and odd-impact loadings produce the strongest bone structure in
and rotates the thigh outward. The biceps femoris originates from the tuberosity of the ischium and is responsible for abducting the thigh and flexing the hindlimb or in humans the thigh/leg. The gastrognemius originates from the lateral sesamoid bone of the femur and extends the hindfoot in minks and the calves in humans (Scott).

To see the bones Heidi Guenther danced with the Boston Ballet and suffered from an eating disorder during her career. Her devastating journey ended her life when she was 22 (Kelly).

Ballet is a visual art form that uses the body to convey a story to others. This constant attention
Jennifer Arnold Scoliosis ICD-9:737.43 Everest-MIBC 05/16/2014 “Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine (Drymkowski, 2014).” The curves are often s-shaped or c-shaped. Anyone is able to get scoliosis. “The most common type is idiopathic scoliosis in children age 10 to 12 and in their early teens (who has scoliosis, 2009).” Girls are most likely to obtain this type of scoliosis compared to boys.
