Anatomy Of A Healthy Patient

The function of the connective tissue is to support, bind, cover, protect and give structure to the body.

Prosthesis is a term used for replacing a human body part which has been damaged or cut accidently with an artificial one. Earliest users of prosthesis were Ancient Egyptians.

Within this case study I am going to use two of the Chapelhow et al. (2005) enablers to discuss and reflect on the care of a patient I have been involved with on placement over a period of 5 weeks. ‘Enablers are the essential and underpinning skills that come together to provide expert professional practice’ (Chapelhow, C et al. 2005, p.2). These include; assessment, communication, documentation, risk, professional decision making and managing uncertainty. The enablers work together to provide a holistic approach to the care of patients in health care settings. I am going to focus on and discuss two of the enablers, linking them both together, which will be assessment and communication as I believe these two enablers can be related most to my patient.

Hypotonic Solution Concentration of dissolved substances (solute) Concentration of water (solvent) What happens to an animal cells?

There are several body systems, for example the digestive system, the respiratory system and cardiovascular system. I am going to look at the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. They are important because they help people grow, reproduce and maintain life. The body system needs energy for it to function. Our body gets energy from digesting food and using it in the respiration process.

Prosthetic limbs have been around for centuries, but what is one thing they all have in common? They have all been a nuisance. In recent years technology of the modern day Prosthesis has ventured to new heights, but they have not perfected an artificial limb yet. With the amount of people in need of prosthetic limbs, the demand for a perfect prosthesis is tremendous. The perfect prosthesis shouldn’t feel or even look like an artificial limb. Prosthetics should go unnoticed throughout the rest of the amputee’s life.

The Acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) is a plane, synovial plane joint (Babhulkar and Pawaskar, 2014). It is located between the lateral end of the clavicle and the medial margin of the acromion process of the scapula (Marieb text book). The AC joint helps maintain the distance between the scapula and the trunk (….). The movement is a gliding joint which functions the shoulder girdle. (….). It can mainly be felt through the lateral position of the scapular spine (…). In addition, the AC joint is a common site of injury, especially athletes involved in a collision and contact sports, for example, Australian football, rugby and Shotput (Babhulkar and Pawaskar, 2014).
