shapes of muscles BOW #11

  Human muscles are very similar to mink muscles in the way they are shaped. Obviously they would be smaller but still very similar considering that the mink is not human.  For example the gluteus maximus muscle is similar to a humans muscles justit is slightly positioned differently. The pectoralis minor in the mink has a smaller bottom, with a wide to and resembles   the multipennate muscle in humans. The mink has a teres major subscapularis which is located on the chest and looks like a square. The mink's muscle looks like the human's  convergent muscle that also looks like a square.

Art Museum

From the museum describe how two different art periods portrayed the human body How has anatomy influenced art and art influenced anatomy?

In 1860's they portray the human body as stiff and unmovable. They are also very dark and gothic. But Greek art they portray the body as muscular and naked.  In 1945 they depict the human body as seductive and dreamy. It is more realistic but of course it is because in the 1945 they had more modern equipment to show the art.  It is a photo portrait rather than a painted portrait which they would do in 1860's. In Greek art they would do mostly sculptors and obviously they did not have cameras to take a picture.

Skull & Bone Differences

Caucasoid:
Skull-the nose has a high peaked nasal, the teeth are big, the eye sockets are very round at the outer part and the mandibular ramus is sharp, the occipital & parietal bone is round and not as big as the black american.

American Black:
Skull- low and broad nasal, occipital & parietal bone is long and narrower than the caucasoid, the eye sockets are round and the bigger than the caucasoid, the madibular ramus is a lot bigger than the caucasoid and the teeth are bigger as well, the saggital outline is enlongated.

Asian:
Skull: the eye sockets look like a roundish square, the nasal is pointy and narrow on top, the teeth are smaller than the caucasoid and black american, the occipital and parietal bones are smaller than the other two, the mandibular ramus is thick and shorten.

BONES:
Shoulder & Arm- the humerus, clavicle, and ulna are long bones and the scapula is flat with ridges.

Vertebrae- the axis looks like a crown with the point on the top and how it makes a circle, the thoracic1 looks like a bulls skull with the horns, the thoracic 10 reminds me of a pig and the lumbar 5 has a big oval shape connected with two horn like bones and pointy bone.

Rib Cage- left rib 1 looks like a C with a sharp curve, rib 2 looks like a round C, rib 12 looks more striaght with a slight curve and the sternum reminds me of a dress.

Hand & Wrist-all very small but some a longer than others, while some are closer to looking like a squareish circle

What has surprised or interested you so far in Dead Men Do Tell Tales?

I've been very interested in the way he lives and his work. Oh! and the stories he tells us. Like for explain the world war II skulls and how fast a body decomposes in the ground and outside of the ground. Also I really liked the first chapter about his adventure in Africa. Honestly i thought this book would be really boring but it isn't at all. I've actually learned quiet a bit from it and it's just a story of his life and what he learned throughout it.

Bone Formations

Bone formation, also called ossification, process by which new bone is produced. Ossification begins about the third month of fetal life in humans and is completed by late adolescence. The process takes two general forms, one for compact bone, which makes up roughly 80 percent of the skeleton, and the other for cancellous bone, including parts of the skull, the shoulder blades, and the ends of the long bones.

There is a rapid formation of bone mass in the fetus and infant. This slows somewhat during childhood until age 11 in females and a year or so later in boys. During the growth spurt that accompanies adolescence, tremendous bone formation occurs. The vast majority of adult levels of bone mass are achieved by age 18 or so, with only a small amount added until about 28 years old.

There are a number of hormones that are important to this rapid formation of bone during the first two decades of life. These hormones include, estrogen in females, testosterone in males, growth hormone, and some other minor hormones.
