The player suffering the syndesmosis injury is an amateur rugby player aged sixteen years old male and is still in high school. The player is young and puberty is still occurring therefore, growing cartilage is more vulnerable to stresses compared to adults where cartilage has formed (Adirim and Cheng, 2003). This suggests that young adolescents are more susceptible to injury because stresses to growth plates can severely affect coordination and balance, resulting in poor motor skills (Wulf and…

compared to the left, which is about five centimeters. The left bronchus enters the lung at the sixth thoracic vertebra and divides into two branches. These subdivide further and further into even smaller bronchioles. The bronchi walls are hyaline cartilage material forming the D shaped walls and this holds them open.

essential features of a normal, well-functioning spine. The normal spine is comprised of twenty-six bones, or vertebra, which are held together in vertical alignment with the help of muscles and ligaments. Each vertebra is sandwiched between discs of cartilage enabling smooth and cushioned movement of the body. The spinal cord descends through a central hole in these vertebrae and discs from the base brain to the lumbar region of the spine, where it then branches outward into multiple peripheral…

A. According to the book, “adults, according to federal standards, should get 45 to 65 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 20 to 35 percent from fat, and 10 to 35 percent from protein” (pg. 143).

For protein calories, it seems that I…

arguments this couple would use to justify their desire to have a child just like them, I think it is important to discuss what achondroplastic dwarfism is.

Lung cancer occurs when a tumor grows inside the lungs in the bronchi (it’s a small tube that connects the windpipe to the inner surfaces of the lungs where basically gas transfer takes…
