cytokins called prostaglandins

Why does the fibula have no role in the knee joint?

Name the 6 steps of giving CPR to a child/baby
1. Check the scene and the child. Make sure the scene is safe, then tap the child on the shoulder and shout "Are you OK?" to ensure that he or she needs help.
For infants, flick the bottom of the foot to elicit a response
2. Call 911. If child does not respond, ask a bystander to call 911, then administer approximately 2 minutes of care.
3. Open the airway. With the child lying on his or her back, tilt the head back slightly and lift the chin.
4. Check for breathing. Listen carefully, for no more than 10 seconds, for sounds of breathing. (Occasional gasps aren't breathing.)
5. Deliver 2 rescue breaths if the child or infant isn't breathing. With the head tilted back slightly and the chin lifted, pinch the child's nose shut, make a complete seal by placing your mouth over the child's mouth and breathe into the child's mouth twice.
6. Begin CPR. If the child or baby is unresponsive to the rescue breaths, begin CPR.

A volleyball player is constantly setting and spiking the ball. Her arms are constantly in a overhead motion elevating, abducting, and externally rotating. What injury is the athlete at risk of?
The overhead athlete is at unique risk for injury because of the mechanics associated with rapid shoulder elevation, abduction, and external rotation. Angulation of the humeral head against the posterosuperior glenoid can cause rotator cuff tendon and labral impingement.
