Pelvis

Ardipithecus pelvis appears to be transitional between being suited for climbing in trees and being modified for walking on two legs (Kottak, 2015). A fairly complete skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus, named “Ardi” is the earliest known hominin Australopithecus afarensis lived around 3 million years ago (Kottak, 2015). Fossils, including the well know skeleton named “Lucy”, show that they had a mixture of apelike and hominin characteristics (Kottak, 2015). The lower spine, hip joint, pelvis, and…

while advanced disease refers to cancers that have invaded nearby organs or lymph nodes in the pelvis or groins. Imaging studies should include CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis and a chest X-ray at minimum. Staging may also include a PET/CT scan. This imaging test allows the radiologist as well as the treating cancer specialists to see if the anal cancer has spread to involve lymph nodes in the groin or pelvis, or metastasized to other sites in the body such as the liver or…

The position of the foramen magnum, the length of the leg, the shape of the spine and pelvis are four of the seven steps of bipedality. The position of the foramen magnum is located in the bottom of the skull, near the teeth in humans, and in the rear area for apes. This distinguish humans and apes because it demonstrates that the human head sits on the body rather than on the front of the body, like apes. The shape of the spine is s-shaped for humans and c-shaped for apes. Specifically, in…

When setting these goals for myself,…

within the female reproductive system. Ovaries help assist with the production of eggs that are used during reproduction. Women often have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus located within the pelvis. Due to their small size, ovarian cancer is often undetected until it has reached the pelvis and abdomen. If left untreated, it is more harder to treat the cancer and could up being very fatal for the patient. Luckily, ovarian cancer has symptoms. The early stages of ovarian…

Q-Angle is defined as, the measurement of the angle between the quadriceps muscles and the patella tendon and provides useful information about the alignment of the knee joint. The Q angle gives an idea how the thigh muscles functions to move the knee and also how the knee cap (patella) tracks in the groove of the knee joint. A normal knee cap should move up and down within the groove with flexion and extension of the knee. When the Q angle is excessive, the knee cap tends to track out of…
