  • Correlation Analysis of Greater Sciatic Notch Dimensions and His Index in Gender Prediction Based on Hip Bone

Osterhofen, Bayern, Germany 6 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/AIM: The greater sciatic notch is important because the gender of the hip bone can be determined on the basis of its appearance and dimensions. Important parameters that are taken into consideration when measuring greater sciatic notch dimensions are: the width and depth of the greater sciatic notch, the width of the upper part of greater sciatic notch. It is important to monitor the ratio of the width and depth of the notch, when assessing the appearance alone. The aim of the study was to determine correlations between the upper part of the greater sciatic notch with the values of it’s width, as well as between depth and width of the upper part of the great sciatic notch. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted prospectively on 98 hip bone, of which 56 were single and 42 were within the pelvis. The gender and age of the bones were unknown. All bones belonged to adults in the Bosnian population. The research is based on the osteometric measurements of the width and depth of the greater sciatic notch and width of the upper part of greater sciatic notch, that was used for index calculations of the upper part of the greater sciatic notch.

  • Module 2 : Anatomy – the Skeleton
    Module 2 : Anatomy – The Skeleton In this module you will learn: The functions of the skeletal system The types of bones in the human body The effects of exercise on your bones What happens to the bones as we get older When studying to become a fitness instructor or personal trainer, you will learn all about the anatomy of the human body. Studying the skeleton is one of the foundations of your trade, you will need to know how the body is structured, the names of each bone, types of bones, importance of bone and joint health, detail of the spine and different terms of movement. Without stating the obvious, each of your clients has their own skeleton and you must be fully aware of how this works. This is for many reasons; you are a teacher and must be fully aware of how to prevent injuries, avoid unnecessary stress on the bones and, if qualified, help the client prevent or heal bone and joint related conditions or medical problems. 2.1 Understanding the Skeletal System The skeleton is comprised of 206 different bones that provide 5 main functions: Support mechanism for muscle and tissue Protection for organs Movement with bones, muscles, and joints Storing minerals and blood cells Growth Skeletal System 2.2 Bones are Formed by Ossification Some bones (such as the flat bones of your skull) in the body are formed in a similar stage to connective tissue. The process is known as direct or intramembranous ossification. Other bones are made up of cartilaginous matter, this is developed from future bone in the embryo which then dissolves and is replaced with other bone cells.

  • The Muscular System
    THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM 1 Muscles make up the bulk of the body and account for 1/3 of its weight.!! Blood vessels and nerves run to every muscle, helping control and regulate each muscle’s function. The muscular system creates body heat and also moves the: Bones of the Skeletal system Food through Digestive system Blood through the Circulatory system Fluids through the Excretory system MUSCLE TISSUE The body has 3 main types of muscle tissue 1) Skeletal, 2) Smooth, and 3) Cardiac SKELETAL MUSCLE SMOOTH MUSCLE CARDIAC MUSCLE Skeletal muscles attach to and move bones by contracting and relaxing in response to voluntary messages from the nervous system. Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of long cells called muscle fibers that have a striated appearance. Muscle fibers are organized into bundles supplied by blood vessels and innervated by motor neurons. Muscle structure Skeletal (striated or voluntary) muscle consists of densely packed groups of hugely elongated cells known as myofibers. These are grouped into bundles (fascicles). A typical myofiber is 2–3 centimeters ( 3/4–1 1/5 in) long and 0.05millimeters (1/500 inch) in diameter and is composed of narrower structures – myofibrils. These contain thick and thin myofilaments made up mainly of the proteins actin and myosin. Numerous capillaries keep the muscle supplied with the oxygen and glucose needed to fuel contraction. Skeletal Muscles • Skeletal muscles attach to bones by tendons (connective tissue) and enable movement. • Skeletal muscles are mostly voluntary Feel the back of your ankle to feel your Achilles tendon - the largest tendon in your body.

The greater sciatic notch is especially bones because it is highly sexually dimorphic, is resistant to valuable in such situations because it is highly sexually damage, and thus can often be scored in poorly preserved dimorphic, is resistant to damage, and thus can often be skeletons.

  • Is the Skeleton Male Or Female? the Pelvis Tells the Story
    Activity: Is the Skeleton Male or Female? The pelvis tells the story. Distinct features adapted for childbearing distinguish adult females from males. Other bones and the skull also have features that can indicate sex, though less reliably. In young children, these sex-related features are less obvious and more difficult to interpret. Subtle sex differences are detectable in younger skeletons, but they become more defined following puberty and sexual maturation. What are the differences? Compare the two illustrations below in Figure 1. Female Pelvic Bones Male Pelvic Bones Broader sciatic notch Narrower sciatic notch Raised auricular surface Flat auricular surface Figure 1. Female and male pelvic bones. (Source: Smithsonian Institution, illustrated by Diana Marques) Figure 2. Pelvic bone of the skeleton in the cellar.

  • Curvature of the Greater Sciatic Notch in Sexing the Human Pelvis HIDEO TAKAHASHI1*
    ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENCE Vol. 000, 000–000, 2006 Curvature of the greater sciatic notch in sexing the human pelvis HIDEO TAKAHASHI1* 1Department of Anatomy, Dokkyo University School of Medicine, 880 Kitakobayashi, Mibu-machi, Shimotuga-gun, Tochigi, 321-0293 Japan Received 11 November 2005; accepted 26 January 2006 Abstract The maximum curvature of the greater sciatic notch and two standardized indices were cal- culated for use in the sexing of human hip bones. This was done by means of quadratic regression of the contour points of the greater sciatic notch. The new variables are not directly affected by the osteo- metric landmarks (e.g. ischial spine, tubercle of the piriformis, and posterior inferior iliac spine) which determine the greatest width of the notch. These landmarks are, however, known to be ill-defined on occasion, but nevertheless have been used to derive the conventional depth-to-width index and angles of the sciatic notch. The curvature parameter and its new indices were applied to the sciatic notch of 164 Japanese hip bones of known sex (104 males and 61 females). The accuracy of the new variables in the determination of sex was assessed and compared with that of the conventional indices and angles of the sciatic notch. The best discriminating variable was found to be the posterior angle with an accu- racy of 91%. The new parameters of the present study that represent localized shape of the sharply curved edge of the notch diagnosed sex with an accuracy of 88%. In paleoanthropological or forensic cases, using the maximum curvature of the sciatic notch and its indices may be applicable to sexing the hip bones of specimens with postmortem damage.
