Typical Adult Anatomy: Bones A fully functioning hip joint is a vital portion of anatomy, from birth to advanced adulthood. The hip is responsible for the stabilization of a person’s body weight whether the person is static or dynamic. The physical joint is classified as a ball-and-socket joint, the head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis. With how the head is oriented in the socket, the joint is able to withstand tremendous amounts of pressure and allows it to be a strong and stable portion of the human anatomy. The design of the hip is actually very flexible and allows for a wide range of movements in different axis.
Anatomically, the “ball” portion of the joint consists of the head of the femur. The “socket”, or acetabulum, is a bit more complex. The entirety of the pelvis is made up of three individually fused bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis. During childhood and puberty, these three bones are separated by triradiate cartilage and around 15 to 17 years these bones start to fuse and the process is not complete until about 20 to 25 years of age. The ilium is the largest and most superior section of the pelvis and it contributes the superior portion of the acetabulum. The ischium is posteroinferior section of the hip and the body of the ischium contributes …show more content…

It is a fibrous sac that envelops the cavity of the synovial joint to keep the synovial fluid inside the capsule. For the hip joint specifically, the fibrous layer of the joint capsule attaches proximally on the hip bone to the bony rim of the acetabulum and the transverse acetabular ligament. Distally, it is attached to the femoral neck on the anterior side at the intertrochanteric line and the bottom of the grater trochanter. On the posterior side the joint capsule is arched and crosses the neck proximally to the intertrochanteric crest, but it is not attached. The joint capsule encases about two thirds of the neck and femur

    In healthy individuals, anterior rotation of the innominate occurs during extension of the freely swinging leg. When the innominate anteriorly rotates, it glides inferiorly down the short arm and posteriorly along the long arm of the SIJ. In non-weights bearing an arthrokinematic glide between the innominate and the sacrum occurs during posterior rotation of the innominate and is physiological (i.e., follows the articular surfaces). In weight bearing, the close-packing of the SIJ precludes this physiological glide. Sacral nutation produces the same relative arthrokinematic glide as posterior rotation of the innominate (inferoposterior motion of the sacrum is the same as anterosuperior motion of the innominate); sacral counternutation produces the same arthrokinematic glide as anterior rotation of the innominate (anterosuperior motion of the sacrum is the same as inferoposterior motion of the

The digestive system breaks down foods and the cardiovascular system enables absorption and usage of the food. The term energy metabolism in the body relates to chemical reactions that that maintain cells and organisms. It is divided into two categories: catabolism is the breakdown of molecules to obtain energy and anabolism the synthesis of all compounds needed by the cells.

    In addition, this procedure can be performed in two ways: posterior and anterior approaches. The posterior hip replacement is the traditional procedure in repairing the hip joint. For this technique, the surgeon would make a curved incision on the side of the hip on the gluteal muscles. For the other procedure, the anterior hip replacement, a surgeon would have to maneuver between the muscle to gain access to the hip joint through the front part of the hip (Kruse). The main difference between the two approaches is how the surgeon opens the body to reach the hip.

    The hips have more similarities between rodent and human skeletons than other parts of the skeleton do. They look very similar to each other, the only difference here would be the way they have to carry weight. The pelvis of a rodent and the pelvis of a human are titled differently because both move (walk) in different ways. A human’s pelvis is tilted upward because we walk on two legs and we stand up straight. We don’t lean over or walk on four legs.

    The knee joint is also known as tibiofemoral joint. It is a synovial hinge joint formed between three bones which are the femur, tibia and patella (Taylor, n.d.). There are two rounded, convex processes which are known as condyles on the distal end of the femur. The distal end of the femur meets two rounded, concave condyles at the proximal end of the tibia (Tyalor, n.d.). A thick, triangular bone which is known as patella lies anterior surface between the femur and tibia.

  • Anatomical Argumentative Essay

    624 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is still no categorical answer as to why humans, and no other species, have speech, or why speech is the way it is. Several purely anatomical arguments have been put forward, but they have been shown to be false, biologically implausible, or of limited scope. This perspective paper supports the idea that evolutionary theories of speech could benefit from a focus on the cognitive mechanisms that make speech possible, for which antecedents in evolutionary history and brain correlates can be found. This type of approach is part of a very recent but rapidly growing trend that has already provided crucial insights on the nature of human speech by focusing on the biological bases of vocal learning. Here we contend that a general mechanism of attention, which manifests itself not only in the visual but also in the auditory

    Temporomandibular Joint is a hinge that connects the upper jaw (bone of the skull) and lower jaw (mandible of the jaw) to one another, it is also responsible for the movement of the jaw side to side, forward, and backwards. The temporomandibular joint is comprised of the outside parts of the mandibular fossae of the temporal bone, other ligaments, and parts of the eminences and mandible. This joint is one of the most complex joints in the human body. You can see a lot of the movement of the joint if you open your mouth wide enough. Temporomandibular Joint is usually a result of issues that occur within the jaw, or surrounding muscles in the jaw.
