Zygomatic bone

At some point in the wall of the right atrium neighboring itself to the sinus venarum at the junction where the superior vena cava enters the right atrium, the SA node sits quietly. After sitting on a lab stool hunched over the clean, ebony tables, meticulously carving and stitching the heart, I had finally reached the point of the anatomy lesson that I had been waiting years to do. Many people describe dissection as a surreal and dream-like experience. For hours, sweating into latex gloves and

pectoral girdle and the upper limb which is the arm bone they connect with each other. They also contain the left and right clavicles and the scapulae. The humerus bone is found within the upper arm it forms the ball and socket joint of the shoulder as well as the elbow joint. The radius and ulna are the bones in the forearm. The pelvic girdle and the lower limb are made up of the left and right hipbones. The largest bone in our body and the only bone in the thigh area is called the femur. The femur

Polymyositis is a rare disease that causes chronic inflammation among the muscles. It is a type of a myopathy which affects the muscles in the body. It seems that the disease mostly targets the muscles in the appendicular regions of the body. In an article by Waldron, he described the parts of the body that are affected by polymyositis, “The most noticeable characteristic is muscle weakness, especially in the muscle closest to your trunk” (39). Due to the loss in muscle mass in these areas, simple

skeletons.The main function of the axial skeleton is to provide support and function. The main function of the appendicular skeleton is to allow movement. One of the diseases found in the skeletal system is Osteoporosis. An effect of this disease Bones become progressively weak and are prone to fractures with minor trauma. The function of the muscular system is to provide movement, maintain body temperature and posture. Muscle fibers contract and relax to provide movement, muscles release heat when

Living with Osteogenesis Imperfecta can have multiple effects on people. There are 8 known types of OI. The severity of OI is determined by what type the person has. People with Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 2 have it the worst due to it being the most severe type. To know if an unborn child is going to have OI the doctors do ultrasounds to look for the more severe types. Other test done to look for OI are chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis examine cells from the unborn child for collagen

Patellar Dislocation and Subluxation With Phase I Rehab The kneecap (patella) is located in a groove at the end of the thighbone (femur). Patellar dislocation and patellar subluxation are injuries that happen when the patella slips out of its normal position. In a patellar subluxation, the patella slips partly out of the groove. In a patellar dislocation, it slips all the way out of the groove. CAUSES This condition may be caused by: A hit to the knee. Twisting the knee when the foot

the medial cortex, resulting in instability and non- union between the upper and lower bone because of possible soft tissue interference. It can also be extremely difficult to compute the correct amount of bone to remove, meaning several extra cuts are sometimes made. While closed wedge osteotomy is most common, it also had the most reduced risk of failure. The surgeons use a specific technique where a wedge of bone is removed with the tibia on an anterolateral approach, because it gives the patient

regenerative methods such as the use of mesenchymal stem cells could provide an better alternative to this procedure. Mesenchymal stem cells are found in bone marrow as well as other sources such as umbilical cord blood, adipose tissue, and muscle, and are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate into multiple tissues including cartilage, bone, and fat. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is the future in treating osteoarthritis in the knee because it produces real cartilage, effectively reduces pain

Definition: (According to the medical dictionary) The word osteoporosis literally means "porous (sponge-like) bones." It occurs when bones lose an excessive amount of their protein and mineral content, particularly calcium. Over time, bone mass, and therefore bone strength, is decreased. As a result, bones become fragile and break easily. Even a sneeze or a sudden movement may be enough to break a bone in someone with severe osteoporosis. Cause and Symptoms: A number of factors increase the risk of developing

The beginning of the lab consisted of taking inventory of what bone were present in the case number that was being worked on. The Bones that were present in case number 002 were the right tibia, right radius, mandible, right scapula, left humerus, left femur, left Os coxae, the cranium, and two right molars. The first part of the lab was estimating sex from the remains. The method used was Buikstra which helped determined with sex using the Os coxae. While observing the Os coxae I noticed that the
