POINTS OF

DISCUSSION


3/14

THE HUMAN

SKELETON

In an adult Humanthere are 206 bones

Babies are born with300, but as they growolder some fuse

together

Bones act as support,aid for movement ,and protection.

5 LumbarVertebrae

Sacrum

Coccyx

Cervical vertebrae are thefirst 7 bones making up the

neck. They are commonlyreferred to C1-C7. Cervicalvertebrae give movementand support for the skull.

anatomy.html

Thoracic vertebrae, T1-T12,are attached to the rib cage.The vertebral arch protects

the spinal cord with anincreasingly circular

vertebral foramen, which

gets smaller as thevertebrae themselves get

larger from the T1 down tothe T12 vertebra.

Lumbar Vertebrae are fivevertebrae (L1-L5) that make up

the spine in the lower back.Here the spine starts curvingtoward the abdomenThe

joint between the L5 and S1enables the hips and pelvis toswing when the body runs orwalksThe lumbar vertebrae

help support the weight of thebody, and permit movement.

http://www.innerbody.com/anatomy/skeletal/lumbar-vertebrae-lateral

The sacrum is a large triangular bone atthe base of the lower spine. The sacrum is

a strong bone and rarely fractures. The five

vertebrae that make up the sacrum areseparated in early life, but gradually

become fused together between theeighteenth and thirtieth years. The weight

of the body is transmitted to the legsthrough the pelvic girdle at these joints.

The coccyx (or tail) is thelowest part of the vertebralcolumn and is attached by

ligaments to the margins of

the sacral hiatus. When aperson is sitting, pressure isexerted on the coccyx,and

it moves forward, actingsort of like a shock

absorber.http://www.innerbody.com/image_s

HANDS

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/media/101313/Bones-of-the-hand-showin -the-car al-bones-metacar al-bones

There are 27 bones in the human hand.

Phalanges are small bone that make up theskeleton of the hand. They are divided up in to

three parts: The distal phalanges

Intermediate Proximal Phalanges

Metacarpal bones are five long cylindrical bonesin the body of the hand. The heads of the

metacarpal bones form the knuckles.

Carpals form the wrist. There are eight smallcarpal bones in the wrist that are firmly bound intwo rows of four bones each. The mass thatresults from these bones is called the carpus.

The eight bones are : pisiform bone Triquetrum

hamate bone capitate bone trapezoid bone trapezium bone scaphoid bone lunate bone

FEET

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/media/101314/Bones-of-the-foot-showing-the-calcaneus-talus-and-other

There are 26 bones in the human foot. Like the hand there are 3 phalanges

(distal, intermediate, proximal). Metatarsal bones make up the central

skeleton of the foot and are held in anarch formation by surrounding

ligaments. There are seven tarsal, or ankle, bones.

medial cuneiform bone intermediate cuneiform bone

lateral cuneiform bone cuboid bone

navicular bone calcaneus, or heel bone- It helps to

support the weight of the body andprovides an attachment for muscles that

move the foot. Talus

WHAT

HAPPENS

TO OUR

BONES AS

WE AGE?

http://rentedbodiesyoga.blog.com/page/2/


8/14

Although bone seems as hard as a rock, its actuallyliving tissue. Throughout your life, old bone is removedand new bone is added. These two processesboneresorption and bone formationare twin componentsof the bodys continuous bone turnover known as boneremodeling. If bone resorption and formation occurredat exactly the same pace, bone mass would remain thesame. But that isnt the case. After age 35 or so, boneresorption outpaces formation and bone density

begins to decline. Some loss of bone density is normal.Only when the process accelerates does osteoporosisbecome a threat. http://www.ccfa.org/assets/pdfs/boneloss.pdf

What is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis, whichmeans "porous bones," is a condition that causesbones to gradually thin and weaken, leaving themsusceptible to fracturesAlthough all bones can

be affected by the disease, the bones of thespine, hip, and wrist are most likely to break. Inelderly people, hip fractures can be particularlydangerous because the prolonged immobilityrequired during the healing process can lead toblood clots or pneumonia, both of which can have

fatal consequences.http://women.webmd.com/guide/understanding-osteoporosis-basics

Extended periods of sitting lead tomuscular shortening, tightening andweakening;

Lack of weight-bearing activity

contributes to osteoporosis; and Lack of movement and stretching leads

to joint deterioration and loss offlexibility

HOW DOES A

SEDENTARY

LIFESTYLE

AFFECT OUR

BONES?

Many health concerns have beenlinked to the sedentary lifestylewhich is typical for many olderpeopleThat life leads to thefollowing: Reduced joint flexiblity Arthritis/bursitis Osteoperosis Low back pain Chronic painhttp://www.yoga-science.rs/eng/sciarticles2011/21-santosh-kumar-mishra.pdf

In general, any physical activity thatpromotes movements which exert

pressure on the bones (i.e., running,walking, etc.) are termed weight-bearing exercises.

Such exercises stimulate the retention ofcalcium in bones, allowing for theproduction of more bone mass

Yoga incorporates plenty of weight-

bearing poses which stimulate theretention of calcium in bones.

HOW DOES

YOGA

STRENGTHEN

BONES?

Bakasana Crow Pose Vrschikasana Scorpion Pose


11/14

Through forward/back bends, inversions and twists Sun salutation incorporates all of these

posture 1reinforces the postural muscles andpromotes a healthy lower back.

posture 2provides a stretch for the complete spinalcolumn

Postures 3 and 10promote increased flexibility in thehamstrings and and gluteal muscles

postures 4 and 9promote mobility of lower back,knee and ankle. The hip flexors are also benefitted.

posture 5strengthens upper body, abdominal, andlower back muscles.

posture 6strengthens the abdomen, back, shoulders,and arms.

posture 7promotes increased lower back flexibility. posture 8stretches the hamstrings, increases upper

body strength and promotes increased flexibility to thechest and mid back.

Orthopedic related problems are on theriselow backache is a leading healthproblem in the world.

Rheumatoid arthritis still remains anenigma.

In injuries related to trauma, we are ableto fix any type of fracture combinationsbut are unable to control what goes on inthe mind

Studies have shown that mental stress

induces a significant increase in muscletensionmusculoskeletal pain may alsobe stress induced.

HOW DOES THE HEALTH OF OUR BONES CONNECT WITH OUR

OVERALL HUMAN EXPERIENCE?
