Ball And Candle Joints And Mole Muscles

A joint is a junction of two or more bones and is commonly referred to as an articulation.Without joint in the body no movement will be possible.There are three types of joints immovable/fibrous where no movements are possible(example- cranium).Slightly movable/cartilaginous joint is a joint

The structure that furnishes the axis for the rotation of the head from side to side is the:

The labrum has two basic functions that take place in both the hip and the shoulder. The first function of the labrum is to excavate the socket so that the ball stays secure. Ligaments are small structures that keep the ball in the socket; these are the harnesses that reach and attach each of the bones. These small structures hold the bones closer together. The other way the ball is kept inside and attached to the socket is the labrum. The labrum is a thick tissue or type of cartilage that is attached to the rim of the socket and essentially forms a

According to Patton and Thibodeau (2012), the kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior muscular wall of the abdominal cavity. The convex side of each kidney is located laterally and the concave side medial. The renal hilum on the concave side is the point where the renal artery enters, the vein and ureter leave the kidney. Deep to the perirenal fat, the kidney is surrounded by fibrous connective tissue called the renal capsule. Deep to the renal capsule is the renal cortex, which surrounds the renal medulla with their apexes facing inward toward the centre of the kidney. Nephrons, the basic structural and functional unit that filters blood to produce urine, are located within the cortex and medulla. The minor calyces that collects urine are connected to the papilla of each pyramid, and merge to form major calyces, which further merge into the renal pelvis. Urine drains into the ureter at the renal hilum where renal pelvis exits the kidney (Brenner, 2007).

The melanocytes synthesize melanin (dark brown/reddish pigment). They are in the deepest layer of the epidermis, the stratum basale. The melanocytes are located on the superficial part of the nucleus of the keratinocytes. The help protect the keratinocytes and the rest of the cells by shielding and absorbing the UV radiation, forming the color. For those who have darker skin there is more melanin produced from these melanocytes. The melanosomes (granules) which are transported along the actin filaments is where the melanin accumulates.

For the human joint anatomy project, our group decided to research and construct the elbow joint. The following is a report and summary of the project including roles taken, challenges faced, solutions derived, and ultimately, contribution and experiences of both partners.

The popliteus muscle is a minor flexor of the knee. It penetrates the joint capsule to find its origin on the lateral condyle of the femur, and passes obliquely to insert on the medio-proximal tibia. Its main function is to help stabilize the knee, but is also able to rotate the femur on the tibia to unlock the knee.

Joints are the connecting points where two bones meet. They allow the human body to be flexible. Muscles are also necessary for movement. They pulls bones are allow them to move. Tendons attach muscles to bones while ligaments attach bones to bones. The central nervous system stimulates muscles to contract when they are stimulated by “messages”, or impulses, that are sent from motor nerves and the bursae are fluid filled sacs between joints that provide protection

The Jewish people in Europe faced harsh persecution in the late 19th and early 20th century. This hatred towards the Jewish people was often exhibited through violence and false accusations that led to unreasonable and unfair punishment. Such actions prompted Jewish leaders from all around the world to start a Zionist movement calling for the creation of a Jewish state. Theodor Herzl and Max Nordau were leading proponents of political Zionism, a branch of Zionism that focused on change through political channels. Although Nordau and Herzl were both political Zionists, they disagreed on how to establish a Jewish state. Nordau’s ‘Jewry of Muscle” uses imagery, symbolism, and repetition of themes to focus on the Jews glorious past defined by the

The muscular system is an organ system composed of roughly 650 to 850 muscles. The muscular systems consist of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. The muscular system collectively works with other organ systems to permit movement, posture, conduction of heat and the circulation of blood throughout the human body.

The shoulder is a ball and socket joint which allows it a flexion and extension motion.

A Distal Biceps Rupture occurs when the tendon attaching the biceps muscle to the elbow is torn from the bone. The Distal Biceps Rupture is attached to a small bump on the radius bone of the forearm. This small bony bump is called the radial tuberosity. The radius is the smaller of the two bones between the elbow and the wrist that make up the forearm. The radius goes from the outside edge of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist.

A largest and the most complex joint in our body is a shoulder joint. Shoulder joints form when the humerus bone fits into the scapula thus creates a ball and socket structure. Ligament, muscles, padding, tendons, cartilage are totally comprised by the shoulder joint. When anything goes wrong the total mobility of shoulder becomes painful and discomfort. Some common problems affect shoulders such as Nerve compression, Arthritis, Rotating cuff problem, arthroscopy, and shoulder joint dislocation.

The deltoid muscle is a rounded triangular muscle located on the uppermost part of the arm and the top of the shoulder. The deltoid is attached by tendons to your collarbone. This muscle is one of your most important muscles because you use it on a daily basis. It is important to strengthen this muscle.

Fig 1 describes the shoulder complex, comprised of three moving bones: the scapula, the humerus, and the clavicle; and one fixed structure: the sternum/thorax (known as rib cage). sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic and Glenohumeral are the four joints. The sternum and the clavicle are connected with acromioclavicular joint acts as a ball-in-socket. The complete motion includes two translations and two rotations, which are used primarily to amplify the motion of the glen humeral joint.
