tibia measurement is then applied from the end of the toes of the foot on the board and a mark is made. The dowel is placed behind the back, touching the head, thoracic spine and sacrum. The hand opposite to the front foot should be the hand grasping the dowel at the cervical spine. The other hand grasps the dowel at the lumbar spine. The individual then steps out on the board placing the heel of the opposite foot at the indicated mark on the board. The individual then lowers the back knee enough to

The anterior component of the AHT associated fracture can be either an anterior wall fracture (less common) or an anterior column fracture (more common) [4]. If it is an anterior wall fracture, it will have the typical features of anterior wall fractures, where the broken segment can be fully separated or remain in contact with the superior pubic ramus. Infrequently, there may be an associated fracture at the ischio-pubic ramus, or an elevation of the cortex from the quadrilateral plate displaced

called iliac region , inguen . Inguinal means: of or relating to the groin. Pronounced: ing gwuh nl The femoral artery and vein is the second most frequently used set of vessels for arterial embalming. It is located in the proximal upper third of the thigh between the hip and the groin. It is a good alternative to the carotid artery if it is not available because it is one of the major arteries in the human body.

collateral (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) with possible medial meniscal involvement. The superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL) originates at the medial epicondyle of the femur, inserts at the medial condyle of the tibial shaft and also attaches to the medial meniscus. (Marieb) The MCL stabilizes the knee by resisting medial rotation of the knee and protecting against genu valgum stresses, which stress the tibiofemoral joint in the medial direction. (Biel) The anterior cruciate ligament

superficial and a deep branch. The superior gluteal artery accompanies the corresponding nerve and divides into branches that supply the gluteal muscles. Superior gluteal artery supplies gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. It participates in anastomoses with the inferior gluteal and circumflex femoral arteries. The exit of the superior gluteal nerve and artery from the pelvis is indicated by the superior point of trisection of a line from the posterior superior iliac spine to the upper end of the greater

adduction. The sternal pectoralis major has an origin on the anterior surfaces of costal cartilage of the first 6 ribs and adjacent portion of the sternum. The sternal insertion is the groove of the humerus. The intended action of the sternal pectoralis major is internal rotation, horizontal adduction, extension, and adduction of the glenohumeral joint. An example from the radioulnar joint is the brachialis. Its origin is the distal half of the anterior portion of the humerus, and the insertion point is the

typically consist of a body and vertebral arch. Anterior to the arch, the body (1) is the thick, broad part of the bone that serves to support and bear weight. Between each individual body is the intervertebral disk space. The vertebral arch is made of several parts. Pedicles (2) extend posteriorly from the body and curves to the laminae (2). These two parts encircle the vertebral foramen with the body. Above and below the pedicles are the superior and inferior vertebral notch, respectively, and
