The Thoracic Cage: Sternum01:17

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum

9.4K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs

10.1K
Ribs are curved, flattened bones forming the thoracic cavity wall with the thoracic muscles. There are 12 pairs of thoracic ribs. The posterior ends of all the ribs articulate with the T1–T12 thoracic vertebrae. In contrast,the anterior ends of most ribs attach to the sternum via their costal cartilages.
Parts of a Typical Rib
A typical rib has a head, neck, and body. The posterior end of the rib is called the head, followed by a narrow neck. The head articulates primarily with the costal...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.7K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

8.4K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

13.8K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Thoracic Aorta01:15

Thoracic Aorta

2.1K
The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Computer Graphics

    Background:

    • Traditional crowd simulation methods often use disc-shaped agents, limiting realistic human movement in dense scenarios.
    • Simulating dense crowds requires accounting for individual agent maneuvering, including torso orientation, which is often overlooked.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel dense crowd simulation method capable of replicating realistic human motion, including torso twisting.
    • To differentiate between active and passive agents within a crowd simulation for more nuanced behavior.
    • To introduce a focus point mechanism for controlling agent orientation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized capsule-shaped agents instead of traditional disc-shaped agents to allow for torso orientation planning.
    • Distinguished between active agents (maneuvering) and passive agents (stationary) within the simulation.
    • Introduced a 'focus point' concept to guide agent orientation and movement.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully generates realistic torso-twisting and side-stepping animations.
    • Validation against real human crowd data showed the model produced equivalent paths for 85% of the dataset.
    • The simulation accurately captures the complex dynamics of dense crowds.

    Conclusions:

    • Capsule-shaped agents and focus points provide a more realistic approach to dense crowd simulation.
    • The method enhances the fidelity of crowd simulations and character animations.
    • This work advances the field of crowd simulation by incorporating finer details of human locomotion.
