What is the relationship between the radius and the ulna?
they are the bones that make up your lower arm. The radius helps the arm to rotate while the ulna supports the arm.
What are the 20 events that occur at the sternal angle?
It is the level of the junction between the sternum body and its manubrium. This joint is a symphysis. There are a few symphyseal joints in the body and they include an early symphysis menti between the two mandibles and a symphysis pubis between the two pubic bones. It represents the plane that separates the superior from the inferior mediastini. It is the plane at which the bifurcation of the trachea. It is the plane of the division of the pulmonary trunk. It is the plane of the arch of aorta. It is plane that contains the ligamentum arteriosum The plane that contains superficial and deep cardiac plexuses At this plane, the ascending thoracic duct escapes from the right to the left. It is the plane of the junction of the 2nd sternocostal articulation. It marks the level of the T4-T5 intervertebral disc. The tracheal carina is deep to the sternal angle. Left recurrent laryngeal nerve recurves below the ligamentum arteriosum. The azygos vein enters the superior vena cava.
How many bones does a 6 year old have?
a 6 YEAR OLD HAS ABOUT 300-206 BONES
What are logs and bones?
Logs are logarithms, Napier's Bones were a very early calculating device produced by the inventor of logarithms
What is increasing the angle between two bones called?
Extension.
Does extension decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion decreases the angle between two bones in a joint. Extension increases that angle.
What movement does not increase or decrease the angle between bones?
Rotation and supination do not increase or decrease the angle between bones.
Flexion and extension of the body?
flexion decreases in angle between articulating bones extension increases in angle between articulation bones
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement Which type of movement is it?
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
What are movements along the sagittal plane that decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion is the general term for movements that decrease the angle between two bones; however, in the sagittal plane, the special term "adduction" is used for movements that decrease the angle between the limb and the midline.
What is difference between extending and flexing your arm at the elbow?
Flexion is the act of bringing two bones closer together, decreasing the angle between the two bones. Extension is the act of increasing the angle between two bones, resulting in a straightening motion.
How do muscles move?
Muscles move by contraction. When the cells shorten, the muscle pulls on the ligaments that connect the bones and the movable body parts. Depending on how a skeletal muscle acts, it may be classified as a flexor (decreases angle to joint) or an extensor (increases angle, straightening the joint).
What type of muscle contraction will shorten a muscle and decrease the angle between two bones?
Concentric isometric contraction
The function of movement in the muscular system?
Muscles are attached to two different bones. When a muscle contracts, it shortens. When it shortens, the shortens the angle between the two bones causing movement.
What is a shortened distance between bone is called?
In normal anatomy, flexion is the movement that decreases the angle between the bones that form a joint. A pathological decrease within the joint of the distance between two bones may be termed a "loss of joint space."
What is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint?
Flexion is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint
