When calf-roping from horseback, the upper body of cowboys is very active, while the lower body is very stable and "quiet." Which of the following is the best explanation for this observed difference? Both girdles have the same attributes. The movements observed are a function of whether the cowboy is on horseback.

The pectoral girdle connections act as shock absorbers, whereas the pelvic girdle transfers weight from the axial to the appendicular skeleton . The pelvic girdle has flexible, bony articulations that allow the legs to absorb the movements of the horse.

David is a 25-year-old insurance salesman and avid "weekend warrior" water-skier. He is skiing behind a powerful speedboat with both feet strapped into a wake board when the boat driver hits the throttle. David starts to fall awkwardly to his right. He resists the fall and digs into the board with his right foot. Suddenly he feels an extremely painful, incapacitating pop below his right gluteal region and falls into the water. David is unable to swim; it feels as if his right lower extremity is paralyzed. Fortunately, he is wearing a life vest, and within minutes he is pulled into the boat and rescued. Back at the dock, he finds he cannot flex his knee at all but is able to get around by locking his quads, "hiking" his hip (knee in extension), and doing an "abduction swing" to place his right foot forward while leaning on a friend for support. He cannot sit on his right side. The next evening, massive bruising appears on the entire posterior surface of his thigh and knee. Three weeks later, the bruising and swelling finally begin to resolve, but David can still feel a ball of muscle behind his right knee. One month post-injury, David is still unable to flex his knee. He visits an orthopedist, who immediately schedules him for surgery. David sustained a complete avulsion of his hamstring tendons from their origin on the ischial tuberosity. Hamstrings are part of what class of lever at the knee? The hamstrings are not part of the lever system. The hamstrings are part of a third-class lever, where the applied force is between the load and the fulcrum. The hamstrings are part of a first-class lever, where the fulcrum is between the applied force and the load. The hamstrings are part of a second-class lever, where the load is between the applied force and the fulcrum.

Hernia When the abdominal muscles contract forcefully, pressure in the abdominopelvic cavity can increase dramatically, applying pressure to the internal organs. If the person e xhales at the same time, the pressure is relieved because the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, can move upward as the lungs deflate. But during vigorous isomet ric exercises or when lifting a weight while holding one's breath, pressure in the abdominopelvic cavity can rise to roughly 100 times the normal pressure. A pressure that high can cause a variety of probl ems, including hernia. A hernia develops when a visceral organ or part of an organ protrudes abnormally through an opening in a surrounding muscular wall. There are many types of hernias. Here we will consider only inguinal (groin) hernias and diaphragmatic hernias. In adult males, the spermatic cords penetrate the abdominal musculature through the inguinal canals on their way to the abdominal reproductive organs. In an inguinal hernia, the inguinal canal enlarges, and organs, such as a portion of the intestine, or (more rarely) urinary bladder, enter the inguinal canal. If these structures become trapped or twisted, surgery may be required. In a diaphragmatic hernia, abdominal organs protrude through a weakness in the diaphragm. If these organs protrude through the esophageal hiatus, the passageway used by the esophagus, a hiatal hernia (hi-A-tal; hiatus, opening) exists. Hiatal hernias are very common. Most go unnoticed, although they may increase the gastric acid entry into the esophagus, causing heartburn. An an inguinal hernia, abdominal contents protrude through an enlarged inguinal canal. Which of the following muscles is not superficial to the inguinal canal? external oblique transversus abdominis internal oblique latissimus dorsi

latissimus dorsi

never causes muscle weakness.

Intramuscular Injections Drugs are commonly injected into muscle or adipose tissues rather than directly into the bloodstream. (Accessing blood vessels may be technically more c omplicated.) An intramuscular (IM) injection introduces a drug into the mass of a large skeletal muscle. Depending on the size of the muscle, up to 5 mL of fluid may be injected at one time. This fairly large volume of drug then enters the circulation gradually. Uptake is generally faster and accompanied by less tissue irritation than when drugs are administered intradermally (injected into the dermis) or subcutaneously (injected into the subcutaneous layer). A decision on the injection technique and the injection site is based on the type of drug and its concentration. For IM injections, the most common complications involve accidental injection into a blood vessel or a nerve. The sudden entry of massive quantities of drug into the bloodstream can have fatal consequences. Damage to a nerve can cause motor paralysis or sensory loss. For these reasons, the site of the injection must be selected with care. Bulky muscles that contain few large vessels or nerves are ideal sites. The gluteus medius or the posterior, lateral, superior part of the gluteus maximus muscle is commonly selected. The deltoid muscle of the arm, about 2.5 cm (1 in.) distal to the acromion, is another effective site. From a technical point of view, the vastus lateralis of the thigh is a good site. Injections into this thick muscle will not encounter vessels or nerves but may cause pain later when the muscle is used in walking. This is the preferred injection site in infants before they start walking, as their gluteal and deltoid muscles are relatively small. The site is also used in elderly patients or others with atrophied gluteal and deltoid muscles. During an intramuscular injection temporary paralysis of the deltoid muscle occurred. Which of the following nerves was accidentally pierced during this injection? the pectoralis nerve the musculocutaneous nerves the accessory nerve (N XI) the axillary nerve
