Hand or Arm Bones and Pelvic Bones - LESSON 213

-
Hand or Arm Bones and Pelvic Bones: Hand bones are of six types.  They are as follows:
1.  Humerus. 2.  Ulna 3.  Radius. 4.  Carpals. 5.  Metacarpals. 6.  Phalanges. Now we will see in detail about these arm bones one by one. 

1.  Humerus:  The another name of this hand bone is upper arm bone.  This region is the large and rounded head part of the upper arm.  Upper arm bone attaches with the collar bone and the shoulder bone.

2.  Ulna:  The other name of the ulna is medial inferior or lower arm bone.  Elbow bone is the he proximal development of the ulna.  This bone is known as olecranon.

3.  Radius:  This bone is the inferior lateral arm bone.

4.  Carpals:  These bones are wrist bones.  Each wrist consists of four carpal bones in two rows.

5.  Metacarpals:  These bones spread out to the each finger from the carpals. Metacarpals are 5 in number in each hand.

6.  Phalanges:  The other name of these bones are called finger bones.  The phalanx is the singular for the phalanges.  Each finger bone consists of three phalanges.  They are proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and the distal phalanx.  The thumb only has two phalanges other three phalanges.

Pelvic Bones:

The other name of pelvic bone is called hip bone.  This bone is attached with the sacrum of the spinal column and the thigh bone.  Pelvic bones give hold to the chest bone.  Each pelvic bone is a combination of three bones, such as the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis.  We will see about each of these bones one by one.

Ilium:  This is the topmost region of the pelvic bone.  Ilium is the largest bone in the pelvis.  The two divisions of the ilium do not meet dorsally, but these two divisions of the ilium are attached to the sacral bone on each side.  This connection is very strong and looks like one bone. The name of this part is called sacroiliac.  Iliac crest is the greater part of the iliac bone and packed up of red bone marrow.  Abdominal wall muscles are attached to the ilium.

Ischium:  The latter part of the pelvic bone is called ischium.  Isch/o means rear or back.  These bones and the muscles attached to these bone helps us to take the weight off our feet.

Pubis:  This part of the pelvic bones are the frontal or forward portion of the pubis bone.  Pubic bone consists of two parts. The two parts of the pubis called pubes attach together through a cartilaginous disk.  This area of union is called pubic symphysis.  Pelvic girdle is the part of the pelvic bone within the ring of pelvic bone forms the pelvic cavity where the urinary bladder, sigmoid colon, anus, and male and female reproductive organs are present.

In the next post, we will learn about Leg and Foot bones.  Okay.

HUMAN BONE STRUCTURE - LESSON 200

-
Now in this post we will learn about the structure of the bone. In our human body there are 206 bones of different types are there. The thigh, lower leg, and upper and lower arm consists of long bones. These bones have large surface areas for muscle attachment and are very strong, are broad at the ends where they join with other bones. There are five types of bones in the human body. The five types are long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid. 1. Long bones:- These bones are comprised mostly of compact bone and lower amounts marrow, which is located within the medullary cavity, and spongy bone and are characterized by a shaft, the diaphysis, that is much larger in length than breadth. These bones are mostly present in the limbs, including those of the fingers and toes are long bones. Except the wrist, ankle, and kneecap these long bones are located in most. 2. Short bones:- These short bones are generally cube shaped and having a thin layer of compact bone surrounding a...

1. Magnetic resonance imaging- A magnetic ground radio signals are used to outline sagittal, coronal, and axial pictures of the body. 2. Megavoltage- High-energy radiation engendered by means of an equipment and employed in restorative x-ray analysis intended for cancer. 3. Nuclear medicine- This is a medical speciality, which examines and employs of radioactive materials called radionuclides within identification and treatment of ailment. 4. Orthovoltage- Emission of low-energy radioactive waves that are employed in pain-killing radiation therapy and exterior skin cancer diseases. 5. Palliative- Means just soothing or painkilling, not curing completely that is not possible. 6. PET scan or positron emission tomography- Radioactive materials are administered using intravenous route and these substances give out positrons. They generate a cross-sectional picture of the metabolism of the body. These images symbolize local concentration of the radio...

Today, we will know about an interesting medical term in medical language. This post is just to know about a different thing in the medical language, though this word is used very rarely in our day-to-day medical transcription work. The longest medical word is "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"!!!!!. Can you read at least Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.  Now, we will see the meaning of this word.  To know the meaning shall we split the word by word. Okay.  1.  Pneumono 2.  Ultramicrosopic 3.  Silico 4.  Volcano 5.  Conosis. So, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis comprises of 5 medical words and in combination, they give a meaning of a certain kind of disease condition related to lungs.  Now, we will see the meaning of each to get the combined understanding of the longest medical word. Pneumono means lungs, ultramicroscopic - means minute, silico means silicon, volc...
