A Study On The Bony Pelvis

Some examples include the following: clavicle, coccyx, femur, fibula, foramen magnum, mandible, maxilla, metatarsals, ossify, phalanges, radius, scapula, sternum, suture, tibia, ulna, and vertebra. All of these terms are associated with the skeletal system. The mandible, maxilla, and foramen magnum are located in the cervical vertebrae. The clavicle, scapula, and sternum are located in the thoracic vertebrae. The lumbar vertebra contains the humerus, ulna, and radius. The coccyx is located in the sacral vertebrae. The femur, fibula, metatarsals, phalanges, and tibia are located in the appendicular skeleton. The sutures are located in the skull. The vertebrae is the backbone of the body. Ossification is the formation of bone. These terms are important in knowing and learning the skeletal system.

The pelvic girdle is formed by two coxal bones. They withstand stress of weight and locomotion. It attaches the lower appendages to the skeleton.

The peritoneum is a membrane located in the ventral body cavity. It surrounds the abdominal digestive viscera. The three structures of the peritoneum include the mesentery, the greater omentum and the lesser omentum. When the peritonemeum is inflamed this is called peritonitis.

Proper positioning of patient is one of the most significant components of physical therapy. Safe and comfortable position is recommended by health care professional. This process should apply immediately after accident and continue during all phases of recovery. Suitable positioning assists in stimulating motor function, raises sensory awareness, improve respiration and can help normal range of motion in trunk and extremities. One of the most important effects of positioning is to prevent pressure ulcers. Mostly patients lie on back, involved side of non-affected side. The body points that should be considered are shoulder and pelvis. Gluteus maximus and rhomboid muscles become stiff retract shoulder and pelvis. Due to this, shoulder and pelvis must be positioned in a bit protraction in order to decrease spasticity and tightness.(Mehrholz, 2012)

The abdominal cavity is the largest hollow space in the human body and contains the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and adrenal glands, and the digestive tract. The cavity is lined by a thin, silk-like membrane called the peritoneum which covers the inside wall of the abdominal cavity and every organ or structure contained in it. A common affliction of the abdominal cavity is peritonitis, which is an inflammation of the peritoneum membrane caused by the introduction of a fungal or bacterial infection in an otherwise sterile environment. The infection is often caused by an abdominal injury that creates a rupture (perforation) within the abdominal cavity, or may arise from a complication of an underlying medical condition. The infection can

The pelvic girdle is responsible for bearing weight and the body’s locomotion. It also carries the responsibility for keeping the lower limbs attached. Pelvic girdle and lower limbs are ilium, sacrum, ischium, pubis, femur, tibia, fibula and tarsal/metatarsal bones and digits. The lower limbs are thighs, legs, feet and support the entire weight of the human body and absorb the resulting forces from locomotion. (Martini, Bartholomew, & Nath, 2014, p. 263)

Dorsal cavity is located toward the backside of the body and it made of the cranial portion of the skull and vertebral column. The cranial cavity contains the brain where the vertebral column contains the spinal cord, which is an extension of the brain. The ventral cavity is located toward the front of the body and it is divided to two sections by the diaphragm muscle into upper (thoracic cavity) and lower (abdominopelvic cavity). The thoracic cavity has a two cavity inside it the pleural cavity that hold the lungs and the pericardial cavity that contains the heart. The thoracic cavity also contains the trachea, bronchi, and esophagus. The abdominopelvic cavity contains the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, the spleen, kidneys, and the

Bones in the Basement by Lora Gray was an amazing mystery book, it had just the right amount of suspense and had an intriguing concept of time travel. Reading is one of my hobbies and once in a while, I enjoy a great mystery book because I can’t wait to find out what happened, so most of the time I binge read these kinds of books. This particular book really had me interested when the Grandpa said, “I’ve got many scars from my travels, yet never aged from being gone. Even for years at a time” (Gray 205). I love it when books even remotely talk about immortality because I just find it so fascinating. When you return from the time machine you are still inflicted by the wounds you got from whatever time period you came from so it isn’t complete

Next, vertebrae of a healthy person are strong and have many functions. Vertebrae column support the head, protect the spinal cord, and serve as the attachment point for the muscles of the back, ribs, and pelvic girdle. As vertebrae become weak, they may break then the bones will collapse on top of each other. This condition is called as the compression fracture. As the vertebrae collapsed on each other, the intervertebral discs between the vertebral body will compress. Each disc has an outer fibrous ring consisting of fibrocartilage called the annulus fibrosus. The discs also have an inner soft and the highly elastic substance called as nucleus pulposus. Under compression, the nucleus pulposus which is the inner core of the intervertebral

The pelvic girdle is made up of the bony pelvis which is formed by two hip bones. These are the sacrum and the coccyx. The pelvis has four articulations: sacrococcygeal symphysis, 2 sacroiliac Joints and the pubic symphysis. The function is to be stabilized by ligaments of pelvic girdle, lumbar, and sacrum vertebrae and transfers weight from the upper axial skeleton to the lower appendicular components of the skeleton specially during movement. It also provides attachment for numerous ligaments and muscles. Protects and contains the pelvic visera and abdominopelvic

There are two cavities of the human body I would like to share first. The Cranial cavity is part of the dorsal cavity but the cranial is inside the skull. The dorsal cavity divided in two housing the brain. Secondly, Spinal cavity formed through the spinal cord and process through the dorsal cavity. The ventral cavity is a view of the front of the human body and the thoracic cavity hold the lungs. The thoracic cavity is secured by the rib cage and muscles. The abdominal pelvic cavity holds the stomach, small and large intestines. Also, the liver, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and kidneys. The abdominal cavity and Pelvic cavity hold the reproduction organs and bladder. In a female, a uterus and vagina work between organs. The rectum is in the

The musculoskeletal system is a made up of the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides the internal framework for the body, it protects the organs by enclosing it and anchors skeletal muscles so that the muscles can contract thus causing movement. The skeleton is divided into two divisions: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 94). The Axial skeleton are the bones that have formed the longitudinal axis of the body which is made up of the skull, the vertebral column and the thoracic cage (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 98). The Appendicular skeleton are the bones of limbs and griddles that are attached to the axial skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 103).

Bone serves the organism at multiple levels: As a system, bones permit the organism to locomote effectively and to maintain posture by bearing loads without deformation, by providing rigid attachment sites for muscles and acting as a system of levers to amplify small movements. As an organ, bones protect the viscera and house the hemopoietic tissue (red marrow). As a tissue, bones serve as a reservoir of readily mobilizable calcium, an

Have you ever thought about how humans would be without bones? They would not be able to function the way that they do now if it did not have bones. The skeletal system is a highly important system in the human body, it functions as support, protection, and creation of red blood cells. This system is composed of bones and joints, an average adult contains 206 bone and an average child contains 270 bones because as a person grows the bones fuse together to create a single bone. The skeletal system is divided in to two major category: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton has 80 bones in the midline axis which contains the bones of the head and the trunk; while the appendicular axis has 126 bones which include the bones from the limbs, pectoral and pelvic regions. There are only a few select bones that are mainly affected by the Paget disease these include the pelvis and the tibia which belong to the appendicular axis; however, other bones that could be affected are the femur, spine, skull, clavicle, and fibula.

Much like men, women have external and internal sex organs. However, unlike men women are able to get pregnant and give birth to children due to the composition of their internal sex organs. The external sex organs of women are refereed to as the vulva. The components of the vulva include the mons venerus which is a lump above a woman’s pelvic bone mostly comprised of fat, labia majora which are lips made up of fat that cover or protect the vulva, labia manora which are smaller lips inward from the labia major, and the clitoris which is the external structure that is responsible for female orgasm.
