Body Anatomotypes

Body modification has become increasingly popular due to the influence of media and social trends. As the popularity of body modification increases, the stigma and stereotype that has followed it for generations is gradually losing its prevalence (Keyser, 2017). Social media is a major influence on the popularity of body modification; it has brought body modification into the mainstream and due to this, is becoming more socially accepted (Murphy, 2015). However Cassar (2017) believes ‘Tattoos and piercings are no longer unique”, resulting in the more extreme forms of body modifications as people strive to be unique and stand out from the crowd. The survey conducted shows that 78.6% of the participants had a form of body modification. Out of

In the reading “The Brown Girl’s Guide to Labels” by Mathangi Subramanian, the author talks about the obstacles she faced growing up as a minority and the different lives her white friends lived compared to her. Growing up as a minority myself, I can relate to some of the experiences Subramanian had. One thing that really caught my attention was how Subramanian never viewed herself as a feminist because “only white girls call themselves that”. I also had a problem with this and never really viewed myself as a feminist until this class. I found it extremely interesting that the author never truly labeled herself a feminist even after her mother declared herself as one until she read an article written by Chandra Mohanty,

Rachel is a 32yo, G7 P3033, who is currently 18 weeks 1 day. She is dated by LMP. She was seen previously for a dating scan and declined aneuploidy screening. She has 3 prior full-term deliveries. She had preterm labor with her last pregnancy but ultimately delivered at term. While she has miscarriages, she does not have 3 in a row. She is here today for an anatomic survey.

The study of body image is a broad topic that touches many subjects including gender. However, the study of body image has been focused mainly on females. This is because the physical shape and image of male bodies have not changed over the history. From the ancient Greek until the modern era, the masculinity is the predominant stereotype for men. Masculine traits include courage, independence and assertiveness (Judith, 2001; Murray, 2000). In contrast to the male body, the female figures have been varied over time and across culture. In the modern era, the thin shaped figure is the ultimate desire of most women because it reflects the beauty and attractiveness of women according to our modern culture (Thompson et al, 1999; Thompson and Stice, 2001). Therefore, failing to meet the societal expectations of being muscular male or thin female may lead to a separation between virtual and actual social identity.

On pg. 133 of the workbook Exercise 18 the body image scores were found to be significantly higher in women versus men. The rationale for this information was stated in the information provided on pg.133 stating that women had a score of (73.1±17.0) and men had a score of (60.2±17.0).

Review Questions What are the four body types in William H. Sheldon’s somatotyping? Describe each body type and identify which one Sheldon believed was related to delinquency and crime. The four body types in William H. Sheldon’s somatotyping are endomorphs, mesomorphs, ectomorphs, and balanced individuals. Endomorphs are individuals who are overweight with a large stomach.

The media can strongly effect what we perceive our body shape to be and what we believe our body shape should be. While it is primarily believed to affect women, more research is beginning to focus on male and various gender identities’ eating and body image issues. Adolescents and young adults are at the greatest risk of having eating and body image issues that can cause mental health concerns. This can lead to dangerous, unhealthy habits in all genders. In this lab, we hope to examine the relationship between various self-reports of behavior, cognitions, and feelings towards body image, eating, and societal standards of body shape.

The body not only defines you, but also in a way is a reflection of your culture. The author states, “The body is a powerful symbolic form, a surface on which the central rules, hierarchies of a culture are inscribed and reinforced. The body in a way is a blueprint for diagnosis and/or vision of social and political life. Through ideology, organizations and regulation of time, space, and movements of our daily lives; our bodies are trained, shaped, and impressed with the stamp of prevailing historical forms of selfhood, desire, masculinity, and femininity.” With that being said, our bodies are forced by us to be chiseled in a way the media inscribes to us a “beautiful.” For women you have to be skinny, have enlarged boobs, have a small waist, clear skin and now a days have a “fat butt”; whereas for men your body must be simply better than a six

Compare and contrast the operation of negative and positive feedback mechanisms in maintaining homeostasis. Provide two examples of variable control by negative feedback mechanisms and one example of a process regulated by a positive feedback mechanism.

Ideal body image is a concept that is socially constructed based on the culture that is considered most dominant in a society. The prevalence and exaggeration of beauty standards in media often encourage many people to have issues with self-esteem, body image, and even eating disorders. The way beauty is portrayed in media is becoming a focal point of these public health issues every day. China is a particular nation where the culture embraces the thin ideal body more so than almost every other country that is actually dangerously affecting young people in its society. On the other hand there are countries in Eastern Europe, such as Romania, where a thicker body type is more acceptable. The cultural difference between the different body ideals

In my school, I have been given the option to learn anatomy this year. Before this class, I was not sure about what I would like to do in the future. My father has been a rheumatology nurse for many years now and continues to be one today. He has given me background information and advice if I ever considered going into nursing for my future. So, with my father as a nurse, I have always admired the medical industry.
