Humerus

What is the scientific name of this joint? There are three joints at the elbow, the first is the hinge joint, between the humerus and the ulna called the humeroulnar joint, this joint allows us to bend and straighten our elbows. The second is the humeroradial joint between the radius and humerus which also allows flexion and extension but is also involved in the more complex motion of turning the hand over so the palm faces up or down. The third is a pivot joint formed by the radius and ulna and

feet were shown to be missing and the tibia, pelvis, skull, humerus, and ribs were retrieved. The hands and feet were never found but a knife was left with no blood or fingerprints left on the knife. This was believed to be a murder case considering the hands and feet were chopped off in an unnatural way. The victim was found to be wearing a floral dress and a red clutch with no identification

Race and height were then determined using the skull, humerus and femur. The skull suggested that the victim could have possibly been mixed race, but had strong caucasion characteristics. The humerus and femur showed that the victim was at least four feet and four inches tall but could not be taller than five feet and five inches tall. Theresa Woods, standing at five feet and

bones. The appendicular joints typically have a larger range of motion, but due to this are often weaker than those found in the axial skeleton. The glenohumeral joint is responsible for articulating movement of the upper arm by way of pivoting the humerus at the point that it meets with the scapula. There are many different classifications of joints within the human body and the glenohumeral joint is classified as a ball-and-socket joint which is one of six different synovial joints present in the

Orthopedic Hardware This case study is about a 31 year old male who was rushed into the Manatee Memorial emergency department with excruciating elbow pain. When evaluated, he broke his internal hardware that was placed in his distal humerus. After looking through his clinical history, I retrieved different exams from the time he first broke his lower arm up to today. The patient was originally diagnosed with an acute displaced fracture involving the distal humeral shaft. Because I only participated

Introduction A historical perspective and classification of OBPP was first described by the Scottish obstetrician William Smellie in an article for midwives in 1764 [1] He documented the observation of resolution of bilateral upper extremity paralysis in a child with face presentation at birth. Danyau performed an autopsy of a newborn with brachial plexus palsy in 1851, providing the first anatomic description of this lesion.[2] but classic description of shoulder paralysis, internal rotation contracture

Sexual dimorphism in clavicle and humerus to determine sex in human skeletal remains Hypothesis When the pelvis and skull is not available for analysis due to being damaged and/or unavailable for recovery, long bones such as the distal humerus and the right clavicle should be used due to their sexually dimorphic properties and usefulness in estimating the sex of human skeletal remains. Introduction Sex determination is important within the forensic context and is vital in the preliminary identification

were the pelvis, humerus, tibia and the skull. Also, the femur was missing from the scene. We assume that a bear or another predator probably got ahold of that bone. Although Lin didn’t break her skull, it is believed she went brain dead as soon as she hit the ground. There are studies that we did that lead us to know that we found were Lin. First we figured out whether the bones were male or female. It was discovered they were female from taking measurements from the skull, humerus, pelvis and tibia

The sex of the individual is believed to be a male. The Pelvis bone is a major benefactor in the determination of the sex. For the remains found, some qualitative observations were made for the Pelvis. The Pelvic Cavity Shape seemed to resemble a ‘heart-shape’, showing sacrum and coccyx. Some qualitative observations on the Pelvis are the Greater Sciatic Notch, Pubis body width, and Sub-pubic angle. The Greater sciatic notch was 62 mm. The Pubis body width was 15 mm. The Sub-pubic angle was 70.1

Functions of the muscular system: The muscular system has many functions. There are 5 main functions. Firstly, it allows us to balance via proprio receptors. In terms of balance, not only do you rely on the two sensory organs in your inner ear but also receptors in your muscles and tendons help your body to balance. The receptors in your muscles and tendons are called proprio receptors, these proprio receptors detect how stretched your joints, tendons and muscles are. Secondly it allows movement
