Superior rectus muscle

various types and causes including, hypermobility, hypomobility, anterior or posterior rotation, or up slip of the pelvis. Types of Dysfunction Hypermobility – hypermobility within the joint causes decreased stability. Causes may be weak supporting muscles, trauma, or increased ligament laxity (hormonal). Often seen with pregnant women as the ligaments relax around the hip joint due to protein hormone Relaxin in preparation for birthing, this in turn causing hypermobility within the hips which can lead

The Medulla contains white matter that is sensory and motor tracts. These tracts extend between the spinal cord and other parts of the brain. The Pons lies directly superior to the Medulla. Like the Medulla, the Pons is a bridge that connects parts of the brain with one another. The midbrain extends fro the Pons to the Diencephalon. The Midbrain contains both tracts and nuclei. The interior art of the midbrain contains

name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone, but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions, like the genioglossus muscle, for example

knee injuries. Many aspects play a role in the treatment and rehabilitation of this injury. This paper will discuss the anatomy of the knee, describe a torn ACL, and the rehabilitation. The knee is a hinge joint which gives the legs mobility. The muscles and ligaments of this joint allows flexion and extension of the leg. “Because the knee supports the majority of the body weight, it is at risk of overuse and traumatic injuries” (France). The knee is composed of 3 major bones; the femur, tibia, and

I. Fetal Pig Dissection II. Purpose Sus scrofa, or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia, we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs, although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common, it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs, perfect surgical procedures on pigs, and even when

CRANIAL NERVE 3 PALSY Differential diagnoses : -Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), myasthenia gravis, thyroid eye disease, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, internuclear ophthalmoplegia,skew deviation, parinaud syndrome, idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome. 4 Danger and referral: complete pupil involving/relative pupil involving CN3 palsy is an emergency and mass or aneurysm needs to be ruled out as it can be fatal. 4, Hence refer immediately to neurologist for CNS imaging.4 This also

The Brain and Cranial Nerves      One of the most complex and fascinating things in the human body is the brain. The body is “capable of almost everything, but it would not be possible, without the brain receiving information, and analyzing the information.”      The brain is aware of its surroundings, via input from the spinal cord and cranial nerves. Cranial nerves with sensory functions allow us to smell and see. Nerves with both motor and sensory

determining the distance and profundity of the image so as to envisage full three dimensional images. The upward and downward muscular movement of the eye is monitored by superior and inferior rectus muscles, whereas the side movement and staying in level is controlled with the assistance of medial and lateral rectus muscles. These muscles are in turn controlled over with the aid of oculomotor nerves. To prevent the frictional impairment from these movements, the tears are released by lacrymal glands,

extremely mobile and unstable joint. And those who initially develop patellofemoral pain usually end up with chronic knee pain (Willy et al., 2012). The patella, only being held in place by ligaments and tendons, is easily manipulated by the pull of muscles attached to these ligaments and tendons. However, there are gender differences between males and females in how they each develop patellofemoral tracking and pain. The patella is held to the knee joint, connecting to the tibia and femur by the quadriceps
