Anatomy and Physiology Introduction In this assignment i will carry full investigation and analysis on the Skeletal system‚using my class notes‚researching on the internet and reading books. The Skeletal system is the system of bones‚ associated cartilages and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human

free and flexible movement in the body. Ligaments- Ligaments are tough fibrous bands of connective tissue that has a function to support the internal organs and hold bones together. A ligament is made up of dense fibrous bundles of collagenous fibers. They are spindle-shaped cells known as fibrocytes. Ligaments may be of two major types: yellow ligament is rich in elastic fibers‚ which are quite tough even though they allow elastic movement and white ligament is rich in collagenous fibers‚ which are

The patient had widespread tenderness as would be expected but was most tender over the lateral ligamentous complex‚ especially the anterior tibiofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) with notable point tenderness at the distal fibula‚ approximately at the origin of CFL. Diagnosis was one of a high grade ankle sprain. Management & Case Progression The primary barriers to progress

many bones do we have in our body? There are 206 bones in the body. 4. What do bones need in order to be healthy? Exercise‚ Vitamin D‚ Vitamin A‚ Vitamin C 5. Differentiate between tendons‚ ligaments and joints. • Tendons connect muscle to the bone • Ligaments connect bone to bone • Joints are the meeting point of two or more bones 6. What are the 2 main divisions of the skeletal system? Differentiate between the 2 and what bones are within each.

should know about: 1. Plantar Fasciitis Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of your plantar fascia‚ the strong ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes. This ligament helps support the arch of your foot and acts as a shock absorber. When this becomes inflamed it can cause severe pain and disability 2. Hammertoes A hammertoe is a condition where the muscles and ligaments surrounding

femoral vein I will pass through the inguinal ligament. The inguinal ligament forms a band that runs from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubis area of the spine (Yahoo Health‚ 2012). It serves as a base to the inguinal canal because hernias can form there. The main function of the inguinal ligament is to protect the tissue that is constantly moving in the trunk and lower extremities of the body (Yahoo Health‚ 2012). From the inguinal ligament still heading north I will pass through the

A vertebral column extends from your skull to your pelvis. It is made up vertebrae‚ which are serrated by masses of Fibrocartilage which are called intervertebral disks. The disks are connected by ligaments. An infant has 33 separate bones in the vertebrae column; however‚ the adult column has 26 bones‚ because four form into the coccyx. While the other five bones form the sacrum. ( Hole‚ 210 )The vertebral column not only supports the head and the trunk of the body‚ but it’s also flexible enough
