non-elastic‚ dense‚ fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. For example‚ the Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle (the major muscle of the calf of the leg) to the heel bone. Be careful not to confuse tendons with ligaments. Ligaments connect one bone to another bone.

Causes/Risk Factors Whiplash typically occurs when a person’s head is forcefully and quickly thrown backward and then forward. This motion can injure bones in the spine‚ disks between the bones‚ ligaments‚ muscles‚ nerves and other tissues of the neck. This type of injury may result from: • Auto accidents. Rear-end collisions are the most common cause of whiplash. • Physical abuse or assault. Whiplash may also result from incidents of being punched or shaken. Whiplash is one of the injuries sustained

Within the skeletal system the structures present are the cartilage‚ bone tissues‚ fibrous connective tissues which form the ligaments of the bones Scanlon and Sanders‚ pp.122‚ 2014). The skeletal system consists of two main organs these are the ligaments and bones‚ the skeletal system functions by protecting the internal organs‚ supporting the body‚ blood cell production‚ calcium storage‚ endocrine regulation and movement (Zimmermann‚ 2015)

Dermatome (anatomy) A dermatome is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve. There are eight cervical nerves (C1 being an exception with no dermatome)‚ twelve thoracic nerves‚ five lumbar nerves and five sacral nerves. Each of these nerves relays sensation (including pain) from a particular region of skin to the brain. Along the thorax and abdomen the dermatomes are like a stack of discs forming a human‚ each supplied by a different spinal nerve. Along the arms and the

arthritis causes swelling‚ pain ‚stiffness‚ and redness in the joints. The inflammation of rheumatoid disease can also occur in tissues around the joints‚ such as the tendons‚ ligaments‚ and muscles. In some patienst with rheumatoid arthritis‚ chronic inflammation leads to the destruction of the cartilage‚ bone and ligaments causing deformity of the joints. Damage to the joint can occur early in the disease and be progressive. Moreover‚ studies have shown that the progressive damage to the joints

salesman William Corner did great opportunity catch on cataract surgery. During the surgery‚ he was learned that surgeon has to cut a ligament‚ which involved high risk. He saw an incongruity on it surgery. And he realized that there was an enzyme may help this incongruity. After Corner did some research‚ finally he got the answer that the enzyme dissolved this ligament. Quickly he captured great market for it enzyme.

He was evaluated by an orthopedic doctor and a repair of ligaments of the knee was recommended. However‚ there was concern of nerve involvement as well. Electrodiagnostic tests carried out demonstrated a connected‚ but abnormal peroneal but also tibial component function. When the patient went in for a physical

The remainder of the small intestine is suspended within the peritoneal cavity by a thin‚ broad-based mesentery that is attached to the posterior abdominal wall and allows free movement of the small intestine within the abdominal cavity

effects of Paula’s skeletal system is that her bones will get stronger‚ this is due to the bones density increasing‚ and calcium increasing in the bones. Another effect is that her ligaments would become more flexible. This is due to the elasticity increasing‚ therefore reducing any risk of injury from a pulled/ripped ligament. The amount of synovial fluid she produces would also go up. This would help her‚ because synovial lubricates the joints‚ therefore making it easier for her to move. There would
