Dowager’s Hump
Dowager’s hump which many people refer to as the hunchback is a bump that can be seen on the base of the neck. It is usually accommodated with a forward head posture. The more forward the head sits, the more stress is placed on the base of the neck which can change the spinal curvatures. This overtime causes the back muscles to weaken causing other muscles to be put under constant strain due to overuse.
The Muscular System And Common Neuromuscular Conditions
The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
The Twelve Cranial Nerves
The cranial nerves are a set of twelve nerves that originate in the brain. Each has a different function for sense or movement.
The functions of the cranial nerves are sensory, motor, or both. Each nerve has a name that reflects its function and a number according to its location in the brain. Scientists use Roman numerals from I–XII to label the cranial nerves in the brain.
