The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.35 kg and a length of 0.445 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly Humerus vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 5.35 kg so that her forearm remains motionless,...
Humerus bones from the same species of animal tend to have
approximately the same length-to-width ratios. When fossils of
humerus bones are discovered, archeologists can often determine the
species of animal by examining the length-to-width ratios of the
bones. It is known that species A has a mean of 8.5. Suppose
forty-one fossils of humerus bones were unearthed at an
archeological site in East Africa, where species A is believed to
have inhabited. (Assume that the unearthed bones are all...
Femur and Humerus Fracture
K.B. is a 16-year-old, weighing 64 kg, who fell while skiing.
She briefly lost consciousness but is now alert and oriented. She
was transported down the hill by the ski patrol after being
stabilized and then was flown to the hospital. She has a fractured
right femur and humerus. She will be admitted to your unit after an
open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the femur fracture
and casting of her leg and arm.

QUADRUPED VS BIPED
Describe and compare the skeletal
features (e.g. skull, spine, pelvis, femur, foot, etc...) that are
directly related to locomotion and clearly show whether the species
is quadrupedal or bipedal. Describe how the
skeletal traits are similar or different between these
species:
1) chimpanzees Pan troglodytes
2) Australopithecus afarensis
3) Homo sapiens

Biomaterial Interface Question
List and briefly describe 5 design features you could
incorporate in the design of a blood contacting biomaterial.
Select a tissue you would like to interface with. Based on the
physiology of this tissue, what design features might your
incorporate in this biomaterial? Be tissue specific in your
design.

practices for global product marketing. Be specific. Make sure your
answers are clearly differentiated and complete.
