Health Assessment Exam #4 Chapter 21: Abdomen (approx. 21 questions) 1. Aortic pulsation a. Normally‚ you may see the pulsations from the aorta beneath the skin in the epigastric area‚ particularly in thin persons with good muscle wall relaxation. b. Marked pulsation of aorta occurs with widened pulse pressure (e.g.‚ hypertension‚ aortic insufficiency‚ thyrotoxicosis) and with aortic aneurysm. c. lateral pulsation with aortic aneurysm pushes the examiner’s two fingers apart. 2.

Introduction. The skeletal system consists of the bones‚ along with the cartilage and fibrous connective tissue that make up the ligaments that connect bones to bone at joints. A. Functions of the Skeleton. 1. The skeleton supports the body. 2. The skeleton protect soft body parts. The skull protects the brain‚ the rib cage protects the heart and lungs‚ and the vertebrae protect the spinal cord. 3. The skeleton produces blood cells. Red bone marrow contains stem cells that produce all of the

However‚ people born with Achondroplasia were unable to have their cartilage develop into bone before birth. The average heights for both males and females are under 4 feet 6 inches. However‚ people born with this disorder are usually not mentally disabled and can perform just as average sized people. The achondroplasia diagnosis is done in

Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Brittle Bone Disease Sami Gizara Lakeland High School Honors Biology Block 6 March 10‚ 2013 Current Applications in Science Abstract (Summary and Background) Osteogenesis Imperfecta was a severe‚ congenital genetic disorder which can cause the human bones to be extremely delicate. This disease is caused by a mutation(whether it be deletion or duplication) in chromosome 17q21‚ 31-q22‚ 7q22.1‚ which are the chromosomes that help the body produce the proteins

of your body. Our bones make it possible to move. To help us move better we have four different types of joints. A joint is where two bones meet. The four types are hinge joint‚ ball and socket joint‚ pivot joint‚ and gliding joint. There are also some joints like the ones in your skull that don’t move. You also have four main types of bones long bones like the ones in your

Most of our skeletal muscles are attached to bone on either end by tendons. As the muscles contract‚ they exert force on the bones. This force helps to support and move our body. Normally one end of the muscle is fixed in its position and the other end moves during contraction. The Origin is the attachment site that is stationary during contraction. The insertion is the site that does move when a muscle contracts. When we discuss the position of the Origin and insertion points‚ the insertion

system. The skeletal system is made up of bones which have an outer hard cortical layer and an inner soft trabecular layer made of cancellous bone. Within some long bone is the all important marrow from where all the blood cells originate after maturation. The skeletal system can be divided into 2 groups: 1. Axial skeleton: The bones here include the skull and bones of the vertebrae column. The skull is subdivided into the 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones‚ while the vertebrae column is made up

Muscles work like leavers and this allow the bones at a joint to work like hinges. When moving someone it is important to remember that the muscles can only move the joint as far as the bone will allow them. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual.

The Aging Musculoskeletal System Bone and muscle health and maintenance are important in aging adults. However‚ it is especially imperative for elder Caucasian women to have good bone and muscle health. Not maintaining strong bones can lead to bone diseases‚ such as‚ osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Poor muscle health can result in muscular atrophy. For example‚ Edith‚ who is an 84-year-old thin‚ small boned‚ white female suffers from all three of those diseases. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized
