Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers01:48

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

59.5K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.
Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers
Slow oxidative, muscle fibers appear red due to large numbers of capillaries and high levels of...

Muscles of the Eye01:20

Muscles of the Eye

4.3K
The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and...

Muscles that Move the Head

5.9K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

3.5K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.8K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

3.9K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Summary

A man experienced neck pain, fever, and difficulty swallowing. Despite normal upper airway examination, elevated inflammatory markers indicated an underlying issue requiring further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Clinical Case Study

Background:

  • A 49-year-old male presented with a week of neck pain, accompanied by three days of low-grade fever, sore throat, and dysphagia.
  • Physical examination revealed restricted neck mobility and trapezius muscle tenderness.
  • Initial laboratory results indicated elevated C-reactive protein and mild leukocytosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cause of neck pain and associated symptoms in a patient with normal tracheolaryngoscopy findings.
  • To highlight the diagnostic approach for unexplained neck pain with systemic inflammatory signs.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical presentation and physical examination findings were documented.
  • Laboratory tests including C-reactive protein and white blood cell count were performed.
  • Tracheolaryngoscopy was conducted to rule out upper airway pathology.

Main Results:

  • The patient exhibited symptoms suggestive of inflammation and infection.
  • Blood tests confirmed systemic inflammation with elevated C-reactive protein and mild leukocytosis.
  • Tracheolaryngoscopy results were unremarkable, excluding direct laryngeal or pharyngeal pathology.

Conclusions:

  • The combination of neck pain, fever, dysphagia, and elevated inflammatory markers in the absence of clear upper airway findings warrants further diagnostic evaluation.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering deeper neck infections or other inflammatory conditions presenting with atypical symptoms.
