Frontal view of the scapula. Also known as the shoulder blade,
this illustration shows this broad, triangular bone located on the
back. Notable features include the scapular spine, the glenoid
cavity, and the acromion.
Posterior view of the scapula. This illustration shows
this broad, triangular bone is located on the back.
Also known as the scapula, it features the scapular spine,
the glenoid cavity, and the acromion.
The scoliosis and ataxia have an altered function in body
alignment and coordination. Moreover, under normal conditions,
the spine maintains balanced physiological curves. Additionally,
it distributes weight properly
Secondary adrenal insufficiency: a disorder caused by low ACTH
production in the pituitary gland. This reduces adrenal cortisol due to
pituitary tumors or abrupt steroid withdrawal. It causes fatigue and
weakness, requiring glucocorticoid treatment to restore hormonal and
metabolic balance.
The serous otitis media has an altered function in hearing. Moreover,
under normal conditions, the middle ear is air-filled. Additionally, the
Eustachian tube balances pressure. Furthermore, it allows proper sound
transmission.
Severe hypercholesterolemia involves very high cholesterol and
triglyceride levels, leading to plaque buildup, reduced blood flow,
and increased risk of heart attack and stroke, often without early
symptoms.
The single-chamber pacemaker has a general function in
regulating the heart rhythm. Moreover, under normal conditions,
the heart’s electrical system coordinates beats. Additionally, it
allows an adequate heart rate.
A single-chamber pacemaker uses one lead connected to either
the atrium or the ventricle (usually the right) to regulate the heart
rhythm. It senses electrical activity and sends pulses if the heart
beats too slowly. It is simple and effective.
Sjögren’s lacrimal gland is an autoimmune inflammation that
destroys the ability to produce tears, causing severe dry eye.
This pathology, common in women, causes irritation and a
gritty sensation in the eyes, requiring the use of artificial tears.
