Sci-Fact: Exo-Skeletons

Source B shows the skeletal remains that were discovered at the seashore in Herculaneum. In the 1981 under the site administrator Dr. Giuseppe Maggi, excavations turned up more than 55 skeletons. Dr Sara Bisel played a prominent role in the understanding of Herculaneum. Analysis of the skeletons in the s in Herculaneum has suggested that the people died instantaneously when the pyroclastic surge hit the city. Their bodies vaporised by the intense heat, leaving only their skeletal remains. Bisel’s chemical analysis of the skeletal remains on the seashore gave an insight into the age, gender, diet and overall health of the victims just prior to their deaths. With this information combined with Dr Estelle Lazars analysis of the skeletons in Pompeii,

NASA has always had the best equipment available to them when training their astronauts to live in a reduced gravity environment. Now their equipment is being used to help treat and prevent many different sports injuries. The Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill is being implemented in many rehabilitation centers for use as sports injury therapy.

Exploring the Skeletal System The precise number of bones in the adult human skeleton varies from one person to another, but on average there are 206 bones varying shapes and sizes. The skeleton is divided into two main parts. The central bones of the skull, ribs, spin (vertebral column) and breast bone (sternum) form the axial skeleton. The bones of the arms and legs, along with the shoulder blade (scapula), collar bone (clavicle) and pelvis make up the appendicular skeleton.

Orthoses (plural form of “orthotic”) refer to a broad group of medical devices that support, immobilize, or treat muscles, joints or skeletal

From peg legs and hooks to robotic arms and legs, prosthetics have made an outstanding leap. Prosthetics have enabled amputees to regain mobility and their lives. The advancements in prosthetics have also led to a better understanding in surgical amputation and the construction of prosthetics. The question is what influenced the advancements of prosthetics and how it affected prosthetics. The answer lies within the history and the physiological components of prosthetics. Mobility and function, physiological components, and war all played an important role in the advancements of prosthetics.

These machines are made to specifically target the muscle and bone that are prone to deterioration in microgravity. Crew members are required to exercise to maintain optimal health during spaceflight, due to the face that they go on physically demanding trips outside of the spacecraft. The regular exercise on the flight helps counteract the effect of bone and muscle loss. Without exercise during these trips, not only could they encounter bone and muscle deterioration, they can develop cardiovascular problems. Part of Expedition 47’s research is to find a way to create smaller, more convenient exercise machines. Astronauts who have been exposed to microgravity in long duration flights are at a high risk of bone fracture, and subsequently need to be under specific attention and care. Research shows that in microgravity, bone mass can decrease up 20% after six months (ESA, 2008, para. 2). Expedition 47’s research can help find new and more convenient ways to keep muscle and bone mass regulated. These “mini” exercise machines can give the crew much more body space but also give them the equipment they need to keep their musculoskeletal system in

The history of prosthetics dates back many years to when they were originally made around 1500 B.C. Prosthetic devices were originally used to take the place of limbs but had no other purpose. Most prosthetic devices during Roman times were just wooden or steel pegs (Patel). In the 1500s, Ambroise Pare introduced amputation to the medical community, and shortly after,made artificial limbs to take the place of the arm and elbow earning him the name, the father of prosthetics. In the late 1600s, Pieter Andriannszoon Verduyh developed the first non-locking prosthesis for below the knee which is the basis for the joints used today. Sir James Syme then introduced ankle amputation to

Lasine’s first argument is regarding God’s wrath by looking at the book of Exodus. Lasine uses the example of “the destruction of the Egyptian first-born resembles the destruction of all living things in the Flood and the destruction of Sodom in being a divine response to human actions which God considers to be evil” (40). Lasine uses this example in his article to further demonstrate God’s wrath through his ability to destroy to create a new and better world. Lasine continues to use this example throughout the article display how much God’s Wrath is shown in the book of Exodus. It is evident that God is shown as wrathful to show his ultimate authority over his people.

Found in Chilean Desert in 2003, this little skeleton was found to have a remarkable DNA and has fewer ribs, tiny body, and irregularly-shaped head. The Ata Skeleton was believed to be a premature fetus with some medical deformities. Although some are skeptical of scientific study, there are believers who claimed that its a bone of an extraterrestrial.

The main con’s of the exoskeleton bulkiness, effectiveness, and physical requirements. Military Exoskeletons are a negative influence in warfare because it will decrease the effectiveness of allied forces, if broken it can hurt someone physically, and it is currently a really bulky technology. Bulkiness is one of the most lethal cons of the exoskeleton. For stealth is an important strategy in war. This bulkiness would destroy this strategy of war and make us lose casualties in war.

getting us from place to place quickly while eradicating the need for legs altogether. Instead of

While I was walking around the Human Origins exhibit, there were several pre-human skeletons that I found very interesting. This includes Lucy, Homo erectus and Neanderthal. The first skeleton model is Lucy. About three million years ago, Lucy is one of the earliest hominids that lived in Eastern Africa for a very long period of time. It was revealed that Lucy had a wide and short pelvis and thigh bones, which explained why she was able to walk with two limbs instead of four. The second skeleton model is Homo erectus. They originated from Africa, but left for China and have lived for more than 1.5 million years. One common characteristic that they have with Homo sapiens is the way they look and walk. Homo sapiens had been evolved from Homo

The robot used at that time was designed by PUMA, named PUMA 560 and was used for a neurosurgical biopsy. After the success of the surgery the same PUMA robotic system was used for transurethral prostatic resection. This robotic system was followed by the FDA approved 1990 AESOP system for endoscopic surgeries by Computer Motion. Since then there was a rapid breakthrough in the technology. The initial advantage that helped bioengineers to pursue this technology was high precision and accuracy, especially in non-invasive systems. Additionally, minimal invasion was also noticed to be the advantage with robot assisted surgeries. But it wasn’t until 2000 that the real breakthrough happened in this field and this breakthrough is accredited to Da

The skeletal system includes the osseous tissues of the body and the connective tissues that stabilize or interconnect the individual bones. The bone is a dynamic tissue. Throughout the lifespan, bone adjusts to the physiologic and mechanical demands placed on it by the processes of growth and remodeling.
