As stated by Leonardo da Vinci-----the celebrated Italian visual artist, sculptor, architect, researcher, instrumentalist, arithmetician, engineer, discoverer, anatomist, geologist, astronomer, mapmaker, botanist, historian and author ‘The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.’ No doubt he was very true because when you study the human foot, you find that it has 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles and 107 ligaments. Your feet are bendablearrangements of bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues that permit you to stand on two legs and carry outundertakings such aswalking, jogging, and hopping. Your feet are apportionedinto three units i.e. The forefoot: It encloses the five toes and the five lengthier bones The midfoot:It is a pyramid-like assortment of bones that shapethe arch of the foot. These consist of the three cuneiform bones, the cuboid bone, and the navicular bone. The hind foot: Itconfigures the heel and the ankle. The talus bone upkeepsthe leg bones (tibia and fibula), creating the ankle. The calcaneus (heel bone) is the biggest bone in your foot. Ligaments, muscles and tendonscourse along the planes of your feet, allowing the complexarrangementsdesirable for movement and steadiness. The Achilles tendon attaches your heel to the calf muscles and is indispensible for loping, hopping, and being upright on yourtoes. The typical length of an adult male foot isabout 26, 3centimeters whereas that of an adult female foot is about 24 centimeters. The
After reading the article "Rethinking our Roots" by Russ Juskalian; it touch many different topics thorough out it. One of these topics was the discovery of Little foot which all began by Ron Clarke, who was looking through mislabeled boxes that were from the 1920 's and 30 's gold rush and found a small human like ankle bone. Which lead to to excavation of the rest of the skeleton. According to Clarke ( Juskalian 2016) about little foot was that it, "was made for walking up straight and it didn 't drags it knuckles(p. 32). The next topic that was discussed was the discovery of Karabo that was discovered by Matthew Berger and how was it was structured.
The deformation known as clubfoot is a standout amongst the most widely recognized birth imperfections including the musculoskeletal framework. It presents intrinsic dysplasia of every single musculoskeletal tissue distal to the knee. It is a deformity in which the foot is twisted so that the sole cannot be placed flat on the ground. Understanding the microscopic structure of diseased tissues that characterize clubfoot are very important areas of research. The major component of the ligament, muscle, tendon, bone and joint cartilage involved in clubfoot is collagen.
Article Review #3 The article “Ardipithecus ramidus: A New Kind of Ancestor: Ardipithecus Unveiled” written by Anna Gibbons, talks about how scientist learn many things about human evolution through artifacts of ancestors, DNA and bones. All of this helps reveals different things about our past and how we came to be. This article briefly mentions Lucy and it mainly focuses on the discovery of ardipithecus ramidus.
Your Inner Fish essay In Neil Shubin’s Your Inner Fish, he takes his readers on a journey throughout time, teaching how marine animals inevitably ended up on land. Shubin starts his book by describing how himself and other paleontologists found a missing piece, that showed how animals transitioned from water to land. With this discovery it allowed paleontologists like Shubin, to see transitions that could possibly link certain species of fish to humans. A major change between fish and humans is the use of limbs and its ability to use its limbs to take itself out of the water and away from the dangers within.
Their sizes differ between the males and the females and adults. The head size and body length is about 29-38 inches long. Adult males weigh in about roughly at about 39kg (86 pounds). Adult females weigh about 31kg (68.3 pounds).
Leonardo da Vinci was not only a famous artist, but was also very interested in human anatomy. This is proven by sketches of human
The Museum Although the city of Chicago is usually associated with well-known historical events, such as the Chicago Fire for example, this wonderful city can also be attributed with hosting two unique and significant historical events—the World’s Fair of 1893 and the establishment of the original Field Museum in 1921. In addition to being held as an event to celebrate Christopher Columbus and the discovery of the “new world” in 1492, the Chicago World’s Fair—also commonly referred to as the World’s Columbian Exposition—was also an opportunity to celebrate art as a whole and to allow for inventors all around the globe to showcase their new devices and art. However, because the World’s Fair of 1983 was a one-time event and was, essentially,
The gastrocnemius muscle of the frog was dissected away from the tibio-fibula bone while still being attached to the knee. The other parts such as the foot, thigh muscles and others were removed from the tibio-fibula except for the sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius. Bone shears was used to cut the tibio-fibula bond 8-10mm below the knee. The femur was cut close to the hip joint. The muscle left in the petri dish was moistened using the Frog Ringer’s until ready to
Did you know that Leonardo Da Vinci discovered density 400 years before scientists could explain it? Did you also know that Thomas Edison discovered “etheric force” which led to the invention of the radio? Although both of these men were geniuses in their own time, they are still remembered because of their impact on the world today. Leonardo Da Vinci, known as a great painter, also had a knack for inventing. “At age 30, he first explored his engineering talents and went to work as a military engineer for 17 years in Milan.
An editor and author for the Encyclopedia Britannica described that “[f]or [Leonardo da Vinci], the study of the human body helped him to refine his notions of art as well as his notions of science. His anatomical considerations formed, in effect, the foundation of his orientation with how human figures interact with the world. This in turn informed his painting, making it all the more realistic in its expressiveness.” Da Vinci’s observations of human anatomy helped him refine his painting skills as more realistic and emotional. This demonstrates how da Vinci saw science and art as complementary rather than distinct areas, and thought that ideas formulated in one could and should inform the other.
What do you think of when you hear the name Leonardo da Vinci? You might think of one of his famous paintings, such as The Mona Lisa. Chances are, however, that you do not think of a horse.

Just like a low foot arch, it is also a kind of foot arch deformity which can be caused by neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy or stroke. Or you are just born having a high foot
BIOLOGY RESEARCH ESSAY There is great speculation around evolution. As we are continually in the process of discovering the history of human beings, there are many questions surrounding this topic. One very interesting question is why ancient ancestors of homo-sapiens evolved to walk upright like we do today. An apes’ DNA is astonishingly similar to that of a humans, (97% the same) and yet, our bones’ shapes and structure are very different.
