Curricular Proficiency Syndrome

The Haversian system houses the blood vessels in Mrs. Morgan’s compact bone. The bone tissue sticking out the skin, the bruising and the extensive bleeding from the arm are the signs and symptoms related to the disruption of these structures by her bone fractures. The bleeding and the bone tissue sticking out of the skin shows how the blood vessels within the Haversian system, such as the periosteal arteries supplying the outer area and the nutrient artery which supplies the inner part of bone have been disrupted. The disruption of these arteries within the Haversian system will then make Mrs Morgan’s humerus susceptible to avascular necrosis.

The cartilage was tough and flexible, and it was difficult to cut through. The bone, however, when I finally was able to cut through it, had blood within it. This proves that bone is the site for blood formation. The bone was more difficult to cut through than the cartilage.

36. The outermost wall of large arteries and veins contains a special vascular structure called what? Tunica externa*

The bones that comprise the knee joint fit together because the lateral condyle of the femur and tibia are both articulated by the lateral meniscus. Both medial condyle of the tibia and femur are articulated by the medial meniscus. The patellar is found within the quadriceps tendon ligament of the knee. What structures are associated with the medial surface of the knee?

5. What large artery, representing the continuation of the external iliac artery, provides the chief arterial supply to the lower limb? The femoral artery.

The bone structure of a normal hip consists of an acetabular and a femoral head, which is covered with articular cartilage, a smooth and strong cover. There is then a ring of cartilage which is called the acetabular labrum. This provides stability, maintains joint fluid pressure and distributes weight to the femoral head. With poor coverage of the femoral

Loyola University Medical School states that the gluteus medius’ origin is the outer surface of the ilium between posterior and middle gluteal lines, and that its insertion is the posterolateral surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. It also states that its action abducts and medially rotates the hip, and tilts

Proximally, (VM) attaches to the proximal femur. Starting at the intertrochanteric line and moving posteroinferiorly to the medial supracondylar line (having passed over the pectineal line and the medial lip of the linear aspera (Drake et al 2013)). Distally the VM attaches to the medial boarder of the patella bone over the knee joint.

The knee is a hinge joint which gives the legs mobility. The muscles and ligaments of this joint allows flexion and extension of the leg. “Because the knee supports the majority of the body weight, it is at risk of overuse and traumatic injuries” (France). The knee is composed of 3 major bones; the femur, tibia, and the fibula. The femur is the biggest bone in the human body, the inferior end flares out into two rounded landmarks called femoral condyles. Their name comes from the side of the body they are on, which is where we get Lateral Femoral Condyle and Media Femoral Condyle. Superiorly to these condlyes are the medial and lateral femoral epicondyles. The bones inferior to the femur are the Tibia and Fibula. The superior end of the Tibia flares out into slightly concave structures called the Tibial Plateaus. A crescent wedge shape of cartilage sits in each plateau. These are the Medial Meniscus and the Lateral Meniscus. This cartilage acts as a shock absorber and distributes forces. “The menisci are bathed by the synovial fluid of the knee” (France). The meniscus is what separates the each side of the Tibia and Femur and the transverse ligament connects each menisci. There is a circular bone on the

Associated with the navicular bone are several structures of soft tissue. The collateral sesamoidean ligament is located on the upper side of the bone. This ligament attaches to the distal

The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The fibula is only involved to the extent that it serves as an attachment site for connective tissue. In this paper, the anatomy of the joint will be discussed.

The gluteus medius muscle, which is also known as the ventrogluteal site, is the third commonly used site for IM injections. The correct area for injection can be determined in the following manner. Place the heel of the hand of the greater trochanter of the femur with fingers pointing towards the patient's head. The left hand is used for the right hip and vice versa. While keeping the palm of the hand over the greater trochanter and placing the index finger on the anterior superior iliac spine, stretch the middle
