Abdomen Our cadaver’s abdomen seemed generally to have been in good health. We did, however, find sutures in the right inguinal region. The possible causes for this will be discussed in detail below. As for the rest of the abdomen, we could clearly see all the organs. Although we at first struggled to find the celiac trunk, once we found it we understood the arterial supply as well as the relations of the arteries to the liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas and duodenum much better.

An Inguinal Hernia is a type of Hernia that occurs in the groin area, specifically protruding through the Inguinal Canal, which can be very painful, and in some cases, life threatening. Causes Causes of an Inguinal Hernia differ from person to person. During prenatal male development, the testicles descend down the Inguinal Canal, and into the soon to be developed scrotem. In some cases, adolescent and adult males have weak spots near the Inguinal Canal, where the spermatic
support to the cell. The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that keeps things in place, and restricts the movement of organelles in the cell. The main difference between them is the fact that microtubules aren’t joined by anything like a ligament or a tendon and cytoplasm doesn’t contract like muscles do. The digestive system of the human body is made up of several organs that work together to break down food so it can be used in the body. Similar organelles in the cell are endoplasmic
significant enough difference to divide them into species. There is a set of traits that distinguishes Neanderthals. Their general proportions are short, robust, and strong. Males and females of all ages have thick bones, and very pronounced muscle and ligament attachment sites. They also have distinct facial and cranial features. They have a large skull with no chin, a significant brow-ridge, and a large nasal opening (Shreeve, 49-150). They have large brains, around 1400cc, that protrude in the back,
third, and most common reason, a coach teaches a player the wrong way to perform specific task. For example, when I was 12 years old, my baseball coach taught me the wrong way to throw a curve ball. After repeatedly throwing the wrong way, I tore a ligament in my right elbow. If my coach at that time, would have taken some kind of class, he would have known the proper way to teach the technique. Nevertheless, I feel that sports should greatly benefit a child's self-esteem. Competition also builds self-esteem
Osteoarthritis The topic of my disease diary is Osteoarthritis. In the following report I will talk about the characteristic of Osteoarthritis, the causes and symptoms, what happens chemically, the treatment of the disorder and how the relationship to other body systems is. Osteoarthritis is known as the most common form of arthritis, which affects millions of people worldwide. Osteoarthritis occurs mostly in older people, because the protective cartilage in the joints, on the ends of our bones
Osteoarthritis can be known as or sometimes called degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that affects not only the old and sick, although 55 and older are most common to be affected, people of all ages may receive osteoarthritis (OA). Approximately 27 million Americans are sharing the same common chronic conditions of the joints. Every disease is known for having their own cycle or process; well as for Osteoarthritis its process is pretty complex. In osteoarthritis (OA), at

Each socked foot becomes heavier, latching onto each fiber of carpet, but human will, not muscle mechanics, moves our warm, muscle bound, ligament and tendon attached, skin encased carcasses to the double doors.

with strong surrounding ligaments and muscles, while the shoulder has shallow sockets with fewer ligaments and weaker muscles. If the muscles and ligaments are weak from misuse, the stability of the joint is reduced thus effecting their ability to function adequately. Range of motion (ROM) is related to joint stability, often determined by the laxity of the surrounding ligaments and muscles. “The arrangement and relative laxity and or extensibility of tendons, ligaments and muscles are some of
called ligaments. Slide five – acetate 3 Joints are formed when two or more bones come together. Most joints allow bones to move. The amount of movement depends on the type of joint. The elbow joint is a hinge joint. Joints that allow movement are called synovial joints. A synovial joint s adapted to enable a joint to move easily. They contain cartilage, ligaments, bones, synovial fluid and a synovial membrane. Slide six The bones provide the solid base on which the tendons and ligaments are fixed
UCTION: With the implementation of Title IX of the Education Amendment in 1972, and more recently a wide spread acceptance of females in the athletic world, the number of females competing in various sports has increased significantly at all competitive levels. Since 2004, the number of female athletes competing in Division 1 intercollegiate sports has increased by 13.6% (4). The number and value of grants and scholarships being given to these female athletes and their respective teams has also
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
All about Tendinitis Tendons are tough, flexible, fibrous bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones; if you overuse them they can become sore and painful. This is called tendonitis. Tendinitis mostly happen during sports or activities that involve sudden, sharp movements, such as throwing or jumping, or after repeated overuse of the tendons, such as running, cleaning house. Tendinitis can affect people of any age, but is more common among adults who do a lot of sports. Elderly individuals are
Causes for a Dancer’s Injuries Throughout a dancer’s career, many will experience an injury. In dance, you deal with a lot of quick movements and you’re dancing on your feet the majority of the time. Dancing on your feet can cause injuries whether they are minor or intense.

A muscle trauma which, is also known as a muscle strain is an injury which, occurs within the muscle tendon. The pain can be classified into three different sections which are; mild, moderate and severe. The main cause of a muscle strain is when the muscle is overstretched since the muscles have probably been working too hard. If a muscle tear occurs, it can also damage the attaching tendons within the muscles because, the muscle tissues are stretched and then torn (2). http://www.sheffieldphysiotherapy
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 enhanced by the presence of strong joint capsule, the capsular ligaments and surrounding joint musculature. From a biomechanical perspective, the primary function of the hip joint is to provide adequate motion for the performance of ambulatory tasks and control load transference from the pelvis to the femur. The ball
A hamstring strain is one of the most common injuries for an athlete. Many athletes don’t know the severity of a hamstring strain. There are many effects of a hamstring strain that most people never think about. A hamstring strain is a an injury in which your hamstring or back of the thigh is pulled or strained. It is more common for athletes to be affected by this injury than anybody else. However, it can happen to anyone. There are the grades of a hamstring injury and they are grade 1, grade 2
The surrounding muscles are torn and ripped when the head of the bone is pulled from it's socket. This can cause serious spasms in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the shoulder. When the shoulder is dislocated, there's often a boxy look to the shoulder because the bone is out of place. A person who has hurt themselves will often hold their injured arm with the other hand to keep it stable since
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in the shoulder that connects the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). The rotator cuff tendons provide stability to the shoulder while the muscles allow the shoulder to rotate. The muscles in rotator cuff are Teres minor, Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, and Subscapularis. The muscles in the rotator cuff inserts at the scapula and has a tendon that attaches to the humerus. The rotator cuff is often a subject to athletic injuries. These
