Lizet Ocampo Biol 2401 Tietze Syndrome Tietze syndrome, not to be confused with costochondritis, is a rare inflammatory disorder thatis recognized by chest pain and swelling of the cartilage of one or more of the upper ribs. Tietze and costochondritis are differentiated by whether there is swelling or not. Tietze syndrome can be considered benign, or not life threatening, since it can usually resolve itself without treatment. The symptoms of Tietze syndrome tend to be the same symptoms of other conditions and therefore it is hard to diagnose without additional tests done. There are many possible causes of Tietze syndrome, but an exact cause is not known. In the thoracic cage, one can find the thoracic vertebrae, the sternum, and the ribs. It encloses the heart, the lungs, and provides attachment for the pectoral girdle and the upper limb. The cage protects the thoracic organs, the spleen, most of the liver, and the kidneys. The thoracic cage’s most important role is in breathing. It rhythmically expands by the respiratory muscles and creates a vacuum that draws air into the lungs, and then compressed to expel air. The sternum is divided into three regions: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. The body and the manubrium are joined at the sternal angle, where the second rib attaches. The manubrium and body have …show more content…
The pain varies, is usually sharp, and can last from hours to weeks. The pain can also spread to the arms and shoulders. The pain can be made worse depending on one’s posture, adding pressure on the chest, deep breathing, coughing, sneezing, and physical activity. Pain, along with the swelling over the affected joints, can disappear after a few weeks or can last for months. These symptoms can develop gradually or
The area is vulnerable because all of the visceral organs in the peritoneal cavity are not protected by the rib cage. The rib cage only protects the pleural half, which contains the heart, lungs. The kidneys, stomach, liver and other peritoneal visceral organs are

In the fetal pig, the heart was enclosed in a pericardial cavity, with the right and left lungs on each side of it (Freeman, et. al). The mediastinum, which includes the pericardium, the esophagus, the trachea, and other structures separates the thoracic cavity into right and left sides (Field, pg. 11). The muscular diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal pelvic cavity, where the digestive and urinary systems are located (Field p. 11). As we worked through the dissection we were able to observe each organ system individually and look deeper into all of the anatomical structures that play a role in its function.
The respiratory system consists of the lungs and air passages. The system functions to bring in air and extract oxygen and remove carbon dioxide*. The body can hold 4 to 6 minutes worth of oxygen so the respiratory system must work at all times to prevent death. There are multiple parts to the respiratory system for example, the nose has nostrils or nares. It contains a nasal septum which divides the nose into hollow spaces called nasal cavities. The nose filters the air with the mucus produced. Also located in the nose are the olfactory receptors, and nasolacrimal ducts. The sinuses which are resonating chambers of cavities located in the skull. A larger part of the respiratory system is the pharynx also known as the throat. It is located directly behind the nasal area, divided into three parts; nasopharynx(upper portion), Oropharynx(middle portion), Laryngopharynx (lower portion). The larynx also known as the “voice box” located between the trachea and pharynx. Trachea also known as the windpipe extends from the larynx to the center of the chest; its functions to carry air between the pharynx and bronchi. The bronchi function to carry air to the lungs. The right bronchus is more vertical, shorter, and wider compared to the left.Bronchi continue to branch off into smaller bronchioles, the smallest is called terminal bronchioles which deliver air to the alveoli. 500 million alveoli, which have a rich network of capillaries needed for exchange of oxygen and CO2( taken place
Many people affected by Klinefelter syndrome are at high risk of many different health issues, but if these risks can be reduced if signs are caught and treated early. High risk autoimmune disorders, which are disorders in which the immune cells attack the body, include rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidisms, lupus, and type 1 diabetes. High risk venous diseases include varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolisms. Since affected males have such a high risk of these venous diseases, they should pay close attention to their weight, follow an adequate diet, avoid smoking, and exercise regularly. Tooth decay is a problem with Klinefelter-affected males since they usually have taurodontism, which is when teeth have shorter roots,
Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic condition affecting only males. It mostly affects testicular growth, and this can result in smaller than normal testicles. This can lead to lower production of the sex hormone testosterone. Klinefelter syndrome may also cause reduced muscle mass, reduced body and facial hair, and enlarged breast tissue. The effects of Klinefelter syndrome affect every person differently, and not everyone with it develops the same signs and symptoms. Klinefelter syndrome often isn't diagnosed until adulthood. Most men with Klinefelter syndrome produce little or no sperm. But assisted reproductive procedures
When this occurs, their symptoms become worse than usual day-to-day variation and will not subside for at least seven days.
Pain relievers such as ibuprofen and naproxen can be taken as needed if necessary. If symptoms last anywhere from a month to two months this could be a sign of infection. The point of infection happens when the disease has travelled to the bones, liver or other organs and may require antibiotics such as azithromycin, clarithromycin, rifampin, trimethoprim – sulfamethoxazole or ciprofloxacin.
The thorax is similar to an airtight box that holds the bronchial tree, lungs, heart, and other structures. The top and sides of the thorax are formed by the ribs and attached muscles, and the bottom is formed by diaphragm which is a large muscle. The chest walls form a protective cage around the lungs and other contents of the chest cavity.
The chest contains two lungs, one lung on the right side of the chest, the other on the left side of the chest. Each lung is made up of sections called lobes. The lungs are soft and protected by the ribcage. The purpose of the lungs is to bring oxygen into the body and to remove carbon dioxide. Oxygen is a gas that provides us with energy, while carbon dioxide is a waste product or “exhaust” of the body.
Protection - the skeleton provides protection to many important organs. The skull protects the brain, eyes and ears. The vertebrae protects the spinal cord from any damage. The rib cage prevents any damage to the lungs, hearts and major blood vessels. The illium

As we breathe in, the muscles in the chest wall force the thoracic area, ribs and connective muscles to contract and expand the chest. The diaphragm is contracted and moves down as the area inside the chest increases as air enters the lungs. The lungs are forced open by this expansion and the pressure inside the lungs becomes enough that it pulls
