Summary Introduction
To explain: The consequences of loss in intervertebral disc hydration that accompanies the aging process.
Concept introduction: The intervertebral discs are articulations between the symphysis joints. The two main functional structures in the intervertebral disc are annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus. Annulus fibrosus are fibrous, thick cartilaginous ring that forms the external layer. Nucleus pulposus is a gelation like substance that contains higher fluid content and located present inside the annulus fibrosus.

- Question. Angus is an 18-year-old young adult, who Is riding his skateboard in a city park. He is not wearing protective gear, including a helmet. When a friend distracts his attention, he runs head-on into a planter and is thrown over the planter b0x onto the concrete, landing on his left side. He immediately experiences pain in his left side, left wrist, and abdomen. His left wrist is angulated and obviously broken. A head-to-toe assessment demonstrates small, superficial scrapes on the patient's forehead and left cheek. His facial structures appear to be intact. Neurologically, he is normal, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. He has no complaints of shortness of breath, and his chest wall shows no obvious external injury. An x ray of his left wrist shows a comminuted fracture of his left radius and ulna. Angus is taken to the operating room for orthopaedic repair of his left wrist. After surgery, he is admitted to the orthopaedic floor with orders for pain medication as…arrow_forwardTrue or Falsearrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE 1. The longer the time tension is exerted, the greater the muscular endurance. * 2. The greatest amount of torque is produced by maximum tension in a muscle that is oriented at a 90° angle to the bone, and anatomically attached as far from the joint center as possible. * 3.The greater the torque a muscle can produce, the greater the movement it will produce on the body’s levers. * 4. When the fibers of a pennate muscle shorten, they rotate about their tendon attachment or attachments, progressively decreasing the angle of pennation. * 5.The fast-twitch fibers have smaller diameter than the slow-twitch fibers. * 6.At maximum velocity, no cross-bridges can form, so no force is generated, resulting in the production of zero power. * 7.The smaller number of cross-bridges results in a larger amount of force. *…arrow_forward

Some factors that have been proposed to explain the fall in force duringfatigue include: changes in the 'sense of effort', loss of 'central drive', failure of neuromuscular propagation, reduction in calcium release in excitation- contraction coupling, metabolic changes in the muscle, and reduction in muscle blood flow owing to compression of blood vessels. 1.
