Blog 12 Simlilarities Between A Mink Musculature And A Human's

I noticed that the mink and the humans both are delicate on the skin layer. Nevertheless, underneath the skin, our structure underneath the skin is delicate like the mink are. To continue, their shoulder structure is very similar to ours.

I guess what has surprise me the most about the mink was that it resembled a chipmunk and rat. I expected the skin to have a more yellow color to it. I dissected an rat before and what I noticed distinctly in that dissection is that its skin was yellow! This is why i was surprised when it turned the mink skin was a more gray-black texture. I also was surprised at how many fat there was and how much my group actually had to scrape off. From a glance, the mink did not look like it contained too much fat. But I was wrong.

Wordle Chapter 5

Wordle: Untitled

I thought that the most important words were long bone, short bone, and irregular bone. In this chapter, it was the thing that we went over the most. We went into more detail, observing which bone does what movement. To continue, we also looked at what bones had which muscles.

The least important word was perhaps bone. It was the most vague word out of all the words I showed. At least the other words were more descriptive. From just the word bones, it doesn't reveal anything. We do not know the type of bone.

Blog 8 What Interested Me About Dead Men Do Tell Tales

   I was interested in the way the author described his life. He was really descriptive and me feel like I was the anthropologist. One thing I was surprised was the fact that he enjoyed the smell of dead people and compared it to the smell of meat cooking. What horrified me was the many cases that were mentioned including the one about the girl who killed her stepfather after the abuse that she had to endure. This book has really impacted me even if I do not want to be changed by it. When I read this book, I am exposed to the horrors or reality, and at the same time, I contemplate about the concept of death. After hearing many cases where people have dies, I start to ponder about my existence as well as the end of my life. I realize that I have it way luckier than many of the individuals that are mentioned in the book and after reading this, I feel more cynical of the book. I believe this book reveals all the dark things that exist in man kind and also cautions us in life.

Blog 7 How has anatomy influenced art and art influenced anatomy?

                      The Impact of Anatomy for Art


Basically because of the physical appearances, art is made based on what the painters deemed was essential in the lives of everyday humans. For example, in many paintings in the Ghetty Museum, there are pictures of nude women and men. I believe that they were drawn because the authors wanted to emphasize what they thought to be a ideal man or woman. To continue, the anatomy influences paintings in a way because painter's get an idea of how one's body is supposed to look and they can use that to expand and draw people in the way that they want to.

                                The Impact of Art for Anatomy 


Art has influenced the study of anatomy because it is a contrast between the painter's perspective of a human being and the actual physical appearance of an individual. There may be a picture that criticizes people who do not look a certain way. As a result, people can be influenced by this, and thus change. Also, that means that they will look different. Art is an important factor that tells people what some think about our structures of the body and it emphasizes which parts of our body is important.

  • Dislocation of the eyes
  • Problems involving heart and blood vessels
  • Strectch marks, as show on the picture in the right
  • Higher risk or lung cancer 












3 Ways to Fix Bone Fractures

Bone Fracture Repair





     In this operation, the bone is mended with nails, screws, plates, or pins. A cut is made around the fractures bone and things such as pins are attached to the bone. For bones such as long bones, it can be repaired with nails that are placed in the bone cavity.

Bone Gaft

   It is a process where a substitute bone is placed in the gaps of the broken bone. The bone could come from the patient themselves, a process called autogaft. If not, it is usually a donated bone referred to as an allogaft. Basically, the procedures is the insertion of the bone gaft. It is held together with pins and such. To seal it, the skin closes the wound. 

   The Bone Gaft is used to to help bone fractures which miss some bone parts, an injured bone, and combine joints to prevent movement.


Osteoblasts, Bone Remodeling



When a bone in our body breaks, osteobalsts
replace the old with new bone tissue. The breaking is due to the osteoclasts which break down the bones when they become older and fragile. A cell called the chondrabalst makes new cartilage for the body. This is called bone remodeling.

2 Ways Bone grows and develops


Embryonic Development of bone


 For one thing, we all know that if we eat right, our bones will prosper and grow. They develop embryonically or postembryonically. Embryonic development are cells that are not specific changing to more specific cells.These cells make new tissues and organs for the body. 

Two ways that these bones can grow in the Embryonic stage intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification. In intramembranous  ossification, the bones change inside the membrane. In endochondral ossification forms by replacing hyaline cartilage.



                                                


Postembryonic Development of bone

 Postembryonically is any change after one if born. An example would be a boy growing taller. To make the bones wider, more compact bones must be placed outside the edge of the bone.
