Bones, Muscles, and Joints
You are at a sports complex that has several events going on to
include soccer, lacrosse, basketball and football. as you walk
around and stop at the different games you spot different incidents
occur that require the player t leave the field. these include a
player holding there arm/shoulder, one unable to put weight on
their foot/leg, one holding the area around the buttocks/upper
thigh, one is holding the side of his head, and one is holding
these stomach/side. knowing what you know now about the bones,
muscles and joints discuss in detail, what bones muscles or joints
are in these areas and what type of diagnostic technique could be
used
1.Bones,muscles and joints in arm / shoulder:
The humerus is the long bone between the shoulder and the elbow. It has the ball of the ball and socket of the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint. At the other end, it has its portion of the elbow joint. The humerus serves as an attachment of many muscles and ligaments in the arm.
2.Bones,muscles and joints of foot/leg:
The lower leg is comprised of two bones, the tibia and the smaller fibula. The thigh bone, or femur, is the large upper leg bone that connects the lower leg bones (knee joint) to the pelvic bone (hip joint).
The three surface muscles of the quadriceps are the rectus femoris in the center, the vastus medialis on the medial side, and the vastus lateralis on the lateral side.
The thigh bone (the femur) meets the large shin bone (the tibia) to form the main knee joint. This joint has an inner (medial) and an outer (lateral) compartment. The kneecap (the patella) joins the femur to form a third joint, called the patellofemoral joint.
3.Bones ,muscles and joints of buttocks or upper thigh:
The giant muscle at the surface of the buttocks is called the gluteus maximus. It overlies other layers of muscle and two major joints: the hip joint and sacroiliac (SI) joint, which is situated on each side of your spine, and connects the sacrum (base of your spine) to the ilium (top part of your pelvis).
The ischial tuberosity is a rounded bone that extends from the ischium — the curved bone that makes up the bottom of your pelvis.
4.Bones,muscles and joints ofside of head:
There are only two areas on the skull where synovial joints are present. The first is a pair of joints; the temporomandibular joints, where the mandible articulates with the skull on either side. The second synovial joint is the atlanto-occipital joint, where the base of the skull articulates with the vertebral column.
The temple is a juncture where four skull bones fuse together: the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid. It is located on the side of the head behind the eye between the forehead and the ear.
The zygomaticus major muscles and the zygomaticus minor muscles are found on each side of the face both have their origins on the zygomatic bone.
5.Bones,muscles and joints of stomach:
These muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall can be divided into four groups: the external obliques, the internal obliques, the transversus abdominis, and the rectus abdominis.
The main bones in the abdominal region are the ribs.
Diagnostic technique:
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints throughout the body. It is used to help diagnose sprains, strains, tears, trapped nerves, arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, and does not use ionizing radiation.
