VO2 Max
My VO2 Max based upon the result of my beep test score is 40.2 which is an average rating. For upcoming beep tests I will do much better because at the end of my test I was only around zone 2, therefore my body can sustain doing the test for longer and can endure more.

Origin
|
Insertion

Movement
| |
|
Clavicular head-medial half clavicle. Sternocostal head-lateral manubrium and sternum, six upper costal cartilages and external oblique aponeurosis.

|
Clavicular head:flexes and adducts arm. Sternal head: adducts and medially rotates arm . Accessory for inspiration.
|
|
Spine T7, spinous processes and supraspinous ligaments of all lower thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae, lumbar fascia, posterior third iliac crest, last four ribs (interdigitating with external oblique abdominis) and inferior angle of scapula.
|
Floor of bicipital groove of humerus after spiraling around teres major.
|
Extends, adducts and medially rotates arm. Costal attachment helps with deep inspiration and forced expiration.
|
|
Outer surface of ilium behind posterior gluteal line and posterior third of iliac crest lumbar fascia, lateral mass of sacrum, sacrotuberous ligament and coccyx.
|
Deepest quarter into gluteal tuberosity of femur, remaining three quarters into iliotibial tract (anterior surface of lateral condyle of tibia.)
|
Extends and laterally rotates hip. Maintains knee extended via iliotibial tract.
|
|
Upper intertrochanteric line, base of greater trochanter, lateral linea aspera, lateral supracondylar ridge and lateral inter muscular septum.
|
Lateral quadriceps tendon to patella, via ligamentum patellae into tubercle of tibia.
|
Extends knee.
|
| posterior border of bicipital tuberosity of radius (over bursa) and bicipital aponeurosis to deep fascia and subcutaneous ulna. |
Supinates forearm, flexes elbow, weakly flexes shoulder.
| |
|
Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula. lateral head: upper half posterior humerus (linear origin). medial head: lies deep on lower half posterior humerus inferomedial to spiral groove and both inter muscular septa.
|
Posterior part of upper surface of olecranon process of ulna and posterior capsule.
|
Extends elbow. Long head stabilizes shoulder joint. medial head retracts capsule of elbow joint on extension.
|
Lateral third of clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula to deltoid tubercle.
|
Middle of lateral surface of humerus (deltoid tuberosity.)
|
Abducts arm, anterior fibers flex and medial rotate, posterior fibers extend and lateral rotate.
| |
|
Anterior angles of lower eight ribs.
|
Outer anterior half of iliac crest, inguinal lig, public tubercle and crest, and aponeurosis of anterior rectus sheath.
|
Supports abdominal wall, assists forced expiration, aids raising intraabdominal pressure and, with muscles of opposite side, abducts and rotates trunk
|
|
Inferior border of ribs as far back as posterior angles.
|
Superior border of ribs below, passing obliquely downwards and backwards.
|
Fix intercostal spaces during respiration. Aids forced inspiration by elevating ribs.
|
|
Upper half of lateral shaft of tibia and interosseous membrane.
|
Inferomedial aspect of medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal.
|
Extends and inverts foot at ankle. Holds up medial longitudinal arch of foot.
|
Immediately below anterior superior iliac spine.
|
Upper medial surface of shaft of tibia.
|
Flexes, abducts, laterally rotates thigh at hip. Flexes, medially rotates leg at knee.
| |
|
Upper inner quadrant of posterior surface of ischial tuberosity.
|
Upper medial shaft of tibia below gracilis.
|
Flexes and medially rotates knee. Extends hip.

Kidney Transplant!
A kidney transplant is a procedure in which a new kidney is added into the human due to kidney failure. A kidney transplant is a very common transplant. The healthy kidney is transported in cool salt water that preserves the organ for up to 48 hours. This gives the health care providers time to perform tests to ensure that the donor's and recipient's blood and tissue match. Kidney transplant surgery takes about 3 hours. People with diabetes may also have a pancreas transplant done at the same time. This can add another 3 hours to the surgery.Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys, making living donor kidney transplant an option. If a compatible living donor isn't available for a kidney transplant, your name may be placed on a kidney transplant waiting list to receive a kidney. This could take years to get. Kidney transplant may be a better treatment for you than dialysis, because survival rates are better after transplant. You will also be able to live a more normal life, because you won't have to have dialysis. Although a kidney transplant is an expensive procedure, it may actually be less costly than long-term dialysis treatments. You will have to stay in the hospital for 7 to 10 days after you receive your new kidney. In some cases, it may take time for your new kidney to produce urine. So you may have to receive dialysis and take medicines, such as diuretics, that help your new kidney get rid of excess water and salt from your body.
Risks
The risks of having a kidney transplant include:
- Rejection of the new kidney.
- Severe infection.
- Bleeding.
- Reaction to the anesthesia used for surgery.
- Failure of the donor kidney

Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids, also called "piles," are swollen tissues that contain veins. They are located in the wall of the rectum and anus and may cause minor bleeding or develop small blood clots. Hemorrhoids occur when the tissues enlarge, weaken, and come free of their supporting structure. This results in a sac-like bulge that extends into the anal area. This is a unique disease because no other animal can get this, up to 86% of people would say that they have had Hemorrhoids at some time throughout their life. They can be painful and annoying but aren't usually serious. Hemorrhoids differ depending on their location and the amount of pain, discomfort, or aggravation they cause. Internal hemorrhoids are located up inside the rectum. They rarely cause any pain, as this tissue doesn't have any sensory nerves. These hemorrhoids are graded for severity according to how far and how often they protrude into the anal passage or protrude out of the anus. Grade I is small without protrusion. Painless, minor bleeding occurs from time to time after a bowel movement. A grade II hemorrhoid may protrude during a bowel movement but returns spontaneously to its place afterwards. In grade III, the hemorrhoid must be replaced manually. A grade IV hemorrhoid has prolapsed it protrudes constantly and will fall out again if pushed back into the rectum. There may or may not be bleeding. Prolapsed hemorrhoids can be painful if they are strangled by the anus or if a clot develops. Other factors that increase the risk for getting hemorrhoids include constipation, diarrhea, lifting heavy objects, poor posture, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, eating a diet low in fibre, anal intercourse, and being overweight. Liver damage and some food allergies can also add stress to the rectal veins.
I chose this disease because it randomly popped up and I find things like this very interesting. Our bowel movement is very important to our Digestive System, that is why when this topic popped up I had to write about it. This relates to our topic because Ms. Phillips has shown us pretty neat videos like this and I think its good to learn different things every day.
