E. The hip bones unite anteriorly at a joint called public symphysis. The coxal bones consists of the two hip bones. 6. Which adaptation would have taken place in the pubic symphysis of the female skeleton during the later stages of her pregnancy in preparation for the birthing process? F. Skeletal joints such as the pubic symphysis, pelvic brim, pubic crest and the
Injuries to the growth plate are called fractures. During fracture healing, cartilage is often formed called callus. This cartilage ultimately develops into new bone tissue through the process of endochondral ossification. Ossification process can be studied in the long bones, such as the bones of the limbs. In an adult long bone can be distinguish grossly by a cylindrical shaft or diaphysis of compact bone.
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome or HGPS is a rare genetic disorder that is known for accelerated appearance aging (progeria 101/faq). There have been fewer than 200 cases of HGPS since the discovery of this disorder (Pollex). Those with the disorder age up to five to eight times faster. Only some portions of old age are mimicked, those with progeria do not experience all the steps that come with old age (Agarwal). One in four million newborns are affected by this disorder (Pollex).
For example, a skeleton at a gravesite in Iraq indicates that the deceased had a withered arm. There is some evidence of intentional burial, including evidence that babies and infants were buried in shallow pits, and others were placed in natural fissures. Anthropologist Louis Leakey said Neanderthal grave sites were intentional — some having gravestones over the grave — and this showed that Neanderthals displayed
There can be some overlap between the two for example, conducting experiments on peoples behaviour in certain scenarios, recording their reactions but also offering them their feelings in each scenario. External data can also be obtained from fossils and archaeological remains, (Fossil evidence includes fossil bones which provide information on the anatomy of early humans, including the size of their brains, their type of locomotion, (whether they walked on two or four legs), and the difference in the sizes of the males and females.) (Mapping Psychology Dorothy Miell, Ann Phonix, Kerry Thomas. Pg. 108) And from the study of the few remaining pre- historic cultures, to identify the similarities and differences between human behaviour over a period of time.
Paranthropus aethiopicus Paranthropus aethiopicus is an extinct species of hominid. The genus Paranthropus translates to “beside man”. The paranthropines were not direct ancestors of modern humans, but instead, like cousins to modern human ancestors. The species is still very unknown to paleontologists. They have only discovered a few remains of the Paranthropus aethiopicus.
Fossil and archaeological evidence prove a distinct separation between Neanderthals and the modern Homo sapiens. Neanderthals were a different species to humans. The brain of a Neanderthal had a raised larynx, and was also bigger than that of the Homo sapiens. There are notable physical differences between humans and Neanderthals, such as the Neanderthal has thicker bones, shorter limbs, an asymmetrical humerus, barrel chest and thicker metacarpals. Neanderthal developmental differences from humans are the Craniodental development.
Bone spurs are bony projections that develop along the edges of bones. A bone spur (osteophyte) is a bony growth formed on normal bone. Most people think that a bone spur is something sharp because they hear the word “spur” but it is actually just extra bone. It is usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear or even pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, or nerves in the body. The most common place for a bone spur is the spine, shoulder, hand, hip, knee, and feet.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Composition II Week 2 Individual Work By Bobby Pearson February 2, 2013 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a disease that causes the wasting away of the leg and pelvic muscles. The disease usually affects boys between the ages of three and five. There are nine different types of muscular dystrophy. Duchenne is one of the most common forms. Becker Muscular Dystrophy is a milder form of Duchenne; it has a later age onset, some as late as 40 to 50 years of age and a slower clinical progression (DMD, 2009).
. Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressisiva | By: Alex Belue | | Health Science 1 | 1A/2A | | Alex Belue Health Science 1 1A/2A February 4, 2011 Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressisiva (FOP) an extremely rare skeletal disease that affects the bones and the connective tissues surrounding them. The joints are basically frozen into place. There have not been many cases reported about this disease since it is so rare. Children that are born with FOP have missing joints or strange lumps near the joints.
