skullcap discovered in 1891 by Eugène Dubois. However‚ the species was not named until 1894‚ after a femur (thigh bone) was discovered not far from the skullcap. The femur was nearly identical to that of a modern human‚ prompting Dubois to name a new species: Pithecanthropus erectus (literally "upright apeman"). Both fossils were found in Trinil‚ Java. The type specimen was named "Trinil 2"and the femur "Trinil 3." They are more commonly known as "Java Man." In 1927‚ Davidson Black named a new species

The doctor in the emergency room placed her leg in a cast and tested her bone mass density‚ finding that it was low. He told Ann that she might have osteoporosis‚ a disorder that makes the individual more susceptible to bone fractures. Upon hearing this‚ Ann replies that she is not surprised because her mother and aunt easily fractured their bones as they aged. She was surprised‚ however‚ that the hospital had

CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

There were no signs of trauma to the head‚ neck‚ torso‚ arms‚ or left leg. The right thigh and hip were extremely tender and were immobilized by a leg splint. Heart and lung sounds were normal‚ and abdominal sounds were reduced. Radiology Report: The X-ray of the right hip revealed a complete‚ comminuted‚ intertrochanteric fracture of the right hip. No other fractures were noted in the right leg. There were also long-term osteoporotic changes in the femur‚ tibia‚ and fibula. Top of Form Questions:

of the forearm; pronation and supination. • Leg The main bone in the upper leg is the femur. This is the longest bone in the body. A ball and socket joint connects the femur to the pelvis and the kneecap. The femur allows the basis for movement‚ working closely with the bones and muscles in the lower leg and the pelvis area. The patella (or knee cap) is the bone situated at the bottom of the femur bone. It protects the joint and also promotes leverage for extension of the joint. The
