Forensic Anatomy
As part of starting a class in forensic anatomy, the instructor has provided two sets of bones of human adults with an assignment of determining which sets of bones is a male and which is a female. This task will require the use of different characteristics to distinguish between the two sets of bones since males' and females' bones develop at different rates. While every human being is born with some cartilage in his/her bones, the development of the bones occurs different between males and females. The adage that girls mature faster than boys is not only true in emotional development but also evident in the development of bones. Generally, distinguishing between males' and females' bones requires identification of clues or characteristics in the bones themselves.
One of the characteristics to use in determining which sets of bones is male and which is female in this assignment is to look for clues in the pelvis. The pelvis is considered as the major distinguishing feature or characteristic between males and females bones (Main, n.d.). A male's pelvis tends to have contracted head-shaped inlet, sciatic notch, and angle of intersection for two pubic bones. In contrast, a female's pelvis tends to...
The use of the overall size and sturdiness of the bone is this task is because male bones tend to develop and grow longer to an extent that they become larger and have more pronounced corners. In contrast to female bones, male bones tend to be longer and thicker, especially in the legs, arms, and fingers. Moreover, male jaw bones are not only generally larger in size but also more pronounced as well as having taller brow.
Muscle Physiology
Maggie recently began exercising and jogs 4 times a week. After her jog she is breathless and her muscles ache. Maggie's condition can be understood from examining what is happening to her skeletal muscle cells based on muscle physiology. Generally, injuries in the skeletal muscles contribute to a huge percentage of all traumas in sports of ranging from 10% to 55% of all sustained injuries. Maggie's muscles ache is a by-product of unaccustomed exercise, which in turn…

Each muscle of the body has a specific function and purpose, it is important to be able to know what muscle one is working on, the ability of that specific muscle, as well as the limitations of that specific muscle. Understanding how parts of the body (specifically bones) and how they relate to muscles allow personal trainers the ability to hone in on particular muscle groups and aid clients
human body is made of 206 bones and an estimated 500 muscles, most of which are skeletal muscles attached from one bone to another. While one end of the skeletal muscles attaches to a relatively stationary bone, the other attaches to a movable bone. Some of the major bones of the body and muscles attached to each include Tibia -- which is one of the bones in the lower leg
Tennis The number of movements carried out in any sport is known as technique. This technique is the one that is behind a backhand stroke or a forehand stroke. This technique can go for all strokes, swings and basically all the movements involved in sports. This technique is a result of the different forces, whether they are external or internal, acting on the body of the player (Bahamonde, 1992). In order
2. A functional syncytium a single, enormous muscle cell. 3. The fascia adherens component. 4. The aorta has a tunica media dominated by elastic tissue. The elasticity conferred by elastin allows these elastic arteries to smooth out the sharp changes in blood pressure resulting from the pumping heart. 5. An artery would have a larger lumen than its corresponding vein. With such relatively thin walls, veins tend to appear flattened or collapsed in
Biological structures like bones, tendons, and ligaments have mechanical properties that allow the body to move. Furthermore, bones, tendons, and ligaments are structurally, mechanically, and functionally related. Bone is connected to other bone with ligament. Tendons connect muscles to the bone, enabling movement. Both ligament and tendons are comprised primarily of collagen. However, both ligament and tendon have a unique hierarchical structure, in which the outer casing contains successive layers
The symptoms become clear when an individual experiences dull pain in the neck and lower back. As the disease develops in an individual, the individual becomes more prone to experiencing sudden pains which cause intense pain in this disease. The pain may continue for more than a couple of months. The disease is also likely to spoil the structure of the body. It is responsible for causing spinal compression
