Its onset is usually sudden‚ with symptoms that are often mistaken as the result of straining the lower back. Pyelonephritis often is complicated by systemic infection. Left untreated or unresolved‚ it can progress to a chronic

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The pelvis is a large semicircular bone complex that forms the base on which the torso and upper body are positioned. The pelvis‚ which is a rigid and inflexible portion of the skeleton‚ is built to provide a foundation of the movement of other parts of the anatomy‚ particularly the back and the legs. The pelvis also permits the weight of the entire upper body to be evenly distributed

Anatomy and physiology of the brain and spinal cord The brain is a spongy organ made up of nerve and supportive tissues. It is located in the head and is protected by a bony covering called the skull. The base‚ or lower part‚ of the brain is connected to the spinal cord. Together‚ the brain and spinal cord are known as the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord contains nerves that send information to and from the brain. The CNS works with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS

Osteoporosis Anatomy & Physiology 250 CASE - Module 2 Osteoporosis is a condition of low bone density that can progress silently over a long period of time. Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs‚ which causes bone pain‚ height loss‚ and abnormal spine curvature. If a fracture is determined to be due to osteoporosis‚ it is considered a pathological fracture‚ which is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would

(P1) Outline the functions of the main cell components Every individual possess billions of cells in their body but not only is the human body functional With cells but also contains tissues‚ organs and systems which is what the human body is made up of. The cell carries out vast numbers of chemical reactions which processes in order to make up the essence of life (Moonie N‚ Aldworth C‚ Billingham M & Talman H ‚2012). Cells are usually grouped together with other cells carrying out particular
