MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
-An "x-ray" machine for tissue
ex. muscle, ligaments, tendons

Neck
C1 is the Atlas. It holds up the neck.
C2 is the Axis.
A fracture here is more than likely going to be fatal.
An Axial Load is When a force is transmitted through the top of the head down the vertebral column. An example would be tackling with the head down in football.
Hip Pointer-
-contusion ASIS
-typically injury to the iliac crest of the pelvis
-MOI: direct hit to the iliac crest-- most commonly occurs in soccer or football whether its a hit from a helmet or a hard fall in soccer
Hip Flexor
-2 muscles: 1. iliosoas 2. iliacus
-psoas major: bring a bent knee towards the chest

High Ankle Sprains
Contusion (same as a bruise)
Separation (same as subluxation)
-out of socket and goes back in
Edema- condition of abnormally large fluid volume in the circulatory system or in tissues between the body's cells
Ecchymosis- small hemorrhagic spot in the skin or a mucous membrane, larger than a petechia, forming a nonelevated, rounded, or irregular blue or purplish patch

Tenting"
Under clavicle is muscle holding it to the subclavius. It pulls clavical medially

If there is an object penetrating the eye:
1. DO NOT REMOVE THE OBJECT
2. Cover the uninjured eye

Detatched Retina Symptoms: vision lost in half of your field of vision
*this is a very big emergency and is usually unrepairable

Hamstring
3 Muscles: Biceps Femori, Semimembranosus, and Semitendonosus
The hamstring crosses hip and knee joint.

Abdominal Muscles
Forearm bones
2 bones of the foreaarm
-Radius: lateral side
*thumb side
-Ulna: medial side
-Radius: lateral side
*thumb side
-Ulna: medial side
Rib Cage
-There are 24 ribs total, 12 on each side.
-Ribs 1-10 begin at the vertebral column and attach at the sternum
~the ribs are attached by costal cartilage (blue part in picture) which allows the ribs to bend.
-Ribs 11-12 are called "floating ribs" which begin at the vetebral column but do not connect to the sternum.

UCL Ulnar Collateral tear
- Tommy John Surgery
-is a surgical procedure in which a ligament on the medial elbow is replaced with a tendon from else where in the body
- was invented while in surgery
is most common in baseball players

Rotator Cuff - scapula and humorus
4 muscles make up the rotator cuff
- supraspinatus
- infrasspinatas
- teres minor
- subscapularious
Vertebral Artery
This brings blood to your brain from your heart. If you rupture this it decreases your blood flow
The Brain
The Brain understands two things :
4-6 damage is likely
6-10 brain damage
10+ dead
- oxygen
- Glucose (Body breaks down food then turns it into glucose)
4-6 damage is likely
6-10 brain damage
10+ dead
ENLARGED heart
The proper term is cardio myopathy
An "athlete's heart" beats and average 6-100 BPM
Lance Armstrong has 38-40 BPM
An increased stroke volume pumps more blood out of the heart since it takes less pumps to get more blood out. The heart is so big its function decreases.
Fibrillation is when the heart shakes (like a Defibrillator pictured above)

It is a sleeve around joint, and helps with stability

An incision is a smoothed edge cut such as a cut made by a doctor or a paper cut.
