Superior rectus muscle

15-30 years of age (Teske 2010). It is also more common in females than males (Fayad 2003, Teske 2010, Bowerman 2006). This is due to increased joint laxity in post-pubescent females compared to post-pubescent males (Bowerman 2006) and differences in muscle activation. Males tend to have a more balanced quadriceps to hamstrings ratio

THE RETINA: RECEPTOR CELLS The receptor cells are the RODS and CONES. Each consists of: * A process consisting of outer and inner segments. * An external fiber connecting the process with the soma. * A soma or body containing the nucleus. * An inner fiber that resembles an axon and synapses with a bipolar cell. Rods are extremely sensitive to light and can react to a single photon. The light is absorbed by the pigment rhodopsin and the energy acquired results in

Movement Analysis for an Instep Kick A Review of the Biomechanics Involved in Soccer Monica A. McKnight American Military University Author Note This paper was prepared for Biomechanics SPHE324, taught by Professor Jenny Johnson. “If you wanna get drafted, pay attention.” Movement Analysis for an Instep Kick A Review of the Biomechanics Involved in Soccer Kicking a ball is a fundamental movement that most individuals have learned to do since taking their first steps. However, kicking

Labral injuries can occur in the superior and posterior labrum from impingement during the cocking phases. Pain will be present deep in the shoulder joint. Capsular injuries will present a slipping shoulder feeling, loss of control and velocity. Scapular dyskinesis appear with anterior lateral

INTRODUCTION Introduction: According to the latest information from the WHO (World Health Organization) and CDC (Center of Disease Control), more than nine people die every minute from injuries or violence, and 5.8 million people of all ages and economic groups die every year from unintentional injuries and violence. The burden of injury is even more significant, accounting for 12% of the world’s burden of disease (Cannon et al., 2014). Penetrating abdominal trauma, including low and high velocity

PATELLOFEMORAL ARTICULATION The patellofemoral joint provides an integral articulating component of the extensor mechanism of the knee joint. ( 10 ) THE EXTENSOR MECHANISM : The extensor mechanism consists of the quadriceps muscle group and tendon, patella, patellar tendon, Hoffa’s fat pad, medial and lateral patellar retinacula, patellofemoral and patellotibial ligaments. ( 2 ) The patella is a large, flat, triangular sesamoid bone located anterior to the knee joint

pre-warmed blood to the surface of the body. Occurs under autonomic stimulation of the hypothalamus. (depends on surrounding temperature – if surrounding air or water is not cooler than skin, the effect is minimal to nonexistent) 5. Decreased muscle tone muscle tone and heat production cannot be reduced below basaal body requirements, therefore, this has a limited effect on decreasing heat production. 6. Evaporation evaporation of body water from the surface of the skin and the lining of the

contractions of inspiratory muscles, such as the diaphragm, expiratory laryngeal muscles, chest wall, and abdominal muscles. Motoneurons innervating these muscles are located in the brainstem and spinal cord and are controlled by a network of neurons known as the cough pattern generator. The cough pattern generator receives information regarding the mechanical and chemical status of the airways from sensory afferents in the lungs and larynx with axons in the vagus and superior laryngeal nerves. When the

This is made above the umbilicus and divides one or both sides of the rectus muscle as necessary. * Most commonly used for access to the right colon, duodenum, access to the pancreas where the incision is carried across the midline * Excellent exposure to subhepatic space and Upper GIT * Lesser pain than midline incision
