Splat. A girl slipped on the mud and stepped right on to the soccer ball, face-planting on the ground with a thud. I cringe and blow my whistle, signaling a foul. Before I can even ask if she’s all right, I heard thunder booming in my ear, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? YOU’RE CALLING THAT A FOUL?!” I looked up to see a red-faced man about twice my size, beady eyes staring right at me, unblinking. The ground was slippery, but the hurt girl had also clearly been pushed with excess force, and I knew that it
radius and ulna, the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones, and the bases of the metacarpals (Fig. 1). The proximal row of carpal bones consists of the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and the pisiform. The distal row of carpal bones contains the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate bones. The distal row of bones articulates with the metacarpal bases. The bases of the metacarpals articulate with the distal row of carpal bones and with each other. The proximal carpal row is termed an intercalated
How Skeletal and Muscular Systems Connect Together to Create Body Movement Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, which use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts. Skeletal muscle needs to pass over a joint to create movement. Muscle contraction pulls one bone towards another and thus moves the limb. Muscles never work alone, any movement results from the actions of several muscles. Muscles mostly work in pairs. Each pair contains an agonist (the contracting muscle) and an
made up of bones muscles, tendons and ligaments joints and nerves. The bones of the forearm are the ulna and radius. The hand is made up of 27 bones that fall into 3 areas which are the carpals, metacarpals and phalanges. There are 8 Carpals, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate, Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum and the Pisiform. There are 5 Metacarpals, the 5 Metacarpals that form the palm of the hand. There are 14 Phalanges, they form the fingers. Each finger has a proximal, middle and distal
Introduction: In India, oral malignancies account for 35% of total malignancies. Surgical excision of tumor and neck dissection forms the mainstay of treatment in addition to adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The resulting anatomical defect, functional loss, cosmetic disfigurement and the accompanying psychosocial effects can be devastating to the patient. Reconstructive surgery for head and neck defects remains an evolving challenge and plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life
Introduction The forehead is the superior most unit of the face and it forms the upper 1/3rd of the face by aesthetic measures. The forehead resemblances a trapezium and its boundaries include the anterior hairline superiorly, the glabella and frontonasal groove in the midline inferiorly & the eyebrows and supraorbital ridge form the lateral inferior borders and laterally it is bounded by the arc of the temporal line in the temporal region. The dimensions of the forehead vary from person to person
Chapter 8 Lines After inventing Kindergarten's solid forms (Gifts 1-6) and planes (Gift 7), Froebel moved on to investigations of lines, which call for informal as well formal observations and analyses of concrete objects. However, Froebel's movement from concrete toward abstract thinking is bridged by the Connected Slat (Gift 8) representing elements of surface and edge in a tangible form, where the plane gives way to the line, as an object that can be seen, handled and readily understood by children
The Incas ruled a fantastic Empire in South America, but not until the Spaniards invaded the Empire and destroyed it in no time. The expansion began in 1438 led by a ruler called Pachacuti and continued under his generations. In about 1300 the Incas founded their capital city, Cuzco. Inca was only an itsy-bitsy tribe, however, not until they covered most of Peru and parts of Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia and northwest Argentina. Since they lived in mountain ranges, they were able to attack the enemies
