Review the full discussion board guidelines Download discussion board guidelines, if you need a reminder.
This discussion focuses on naming conventions of medical terms. This information is beneficial in learning more about word roots, modifiers, and word origins. This will help lay a foundation for exploration of other body systems and will help strengthen skills in learning and associating terms and definitions.
Answer the following:
Select one bone and one muscle from this unit.
More complicated names provide better opportunity for exploration.
Make every effort to avoid duplicating structures selected by others.
Translate the bone and muscle names.
Provide rationale for the translation of the bone and muscle.
Example: Quadratus Lumborum – Quad means 4 / Lumborum means Lumbar Region or Lower Back. The translated version of this name is the “Four Sided Muscle of the Lower Back”.
Explain how understanding roots and origins of medical terms is helpful in the building of terminology skills.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Scenario/Summary
Manuel loved the outdoors and loved playing softball. There was no better way to spend a weekend than on the diamond hitting the ball and cooking burgers on the park grill.
“Hey Jose, great game this afternoon,” Manuel said to his friend.
“Yep,” Jose replied. “I loved how you hit the ball over that right fielder’s head. I think he is still running after it.”
“That was a lucky hit. I couldn’t do that again if I tried,” said Manuel.
“When is soup on? I’m getting hungry for one of your ¾ pound hamburgers with all of the fixings,” asked Jose.
“Soon brother, real soon,” said Manuel. “Can you hand me my Coke can on the bench other there?”
“Sure thing amigo,” replied Jose while handing the Coke can to Manuel.
“Yikes!” exclaimed Manuel after he spit out the Coke. “There was a bee in the can and it stung the roof of my mouth.”
Within a few minutes, Manuel developed generalized hives on his face and upper body and experienced shortness of breath and chest pains. The paramedics were called and quickly transported Manuel to the local emergency room where he was treated with epinephrine.

Discuss how God has made our bodies “perfect,” like a temple, and that no mistakes occurred with reference to the unique metabolic processes and physical design of our bodies. An example would be discussing the perfection of the interplay of the energy systems or the relationship between the percentage of fast twitch vs. slow twitch muscle fibers.
Also, discuss how you can use the knowledge in the first 5 modules to train your bodies in a manner as to would glorify Christ.
Furthermore, explain why there is biblical truth to why we should take care of our bodies by living a healthy lifestyle.
This discussion should be no more than 1 page.

OVERVIEW:
There are a myriad of methods to assessing body composition and each has their strengths and weaknesses (sources of error or allowed variance). Being able to determine the appropriate method to assess body composition of your clients is an essential skill within the field. While some may be more accurate or a gold standard, they may be additional considerations including the cost, time, location, or volume of testing prohibited. Having an understanding of this will better assist you in helping your clients understand their body composition results and if changes have truly occurred over time with lifestyle modificaitons. Finally, the instructions that need to be expressed to clients before testing to ensure accuracy of the results can be a critical conversation prior to testing.

Brad is a 32-year-old male who is present in your office due to weight gain and high blood pressure. He recently had blood work done and he has borderline elevated cholesterol and his blood sugars are a little bit elevated, but his doctor only wants him to focus on losing weight. He thinks he does well with his diet and exercise, so cannot understand why he is gaining weight since when he was younger he could eat more and exercise less and still be thin. He is also quite upset he has developed a “beer gut” since he rarely drinks unless it is during the holidays then he will have a beer or two. He has a family history of prostate cancer. He is 5’9” tall and weighs 250 pounds. He weighed 235 pounds 1 year ago per his medical chart.
This is his typical diet and exercise:
• Exercise: Works out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 30 minutes on an elliptical machine
• Breakfast: 3oz of turkey bologna, 1 oz. of cheese, 2 slices of whole wheat bread, and 1 cup of coffee with 2 tablespoons 1% milk
• Lunch (if there is time): cheeseburger and large fries with 12 oz. of diet soda
• Dinner: 6oz of meat, 2 cups of rice, 1 bowl of salad with 4 tablespoons of ranch dressing, ½ cup of mixed vegetables, water
• Late night snack: 1 cup of coffee with 2 tablespoons 1% milk and 4 chocolate sandwich cookies
1. Describe how the body weight and composition of Brad has changed from when he was a teen to his current age.
2. What nutrient needs change as he ages? Focus on carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
3. What are two assessment tools you would use to determine Brad’s nutritional status?
4. What dietary/supplement recommendations would you have for Brad to help him lose weight, reduce his blood pressure, reduce his total cholesterol, and reduce his blood sugars?
5. Since he has a family history of prostate cancer, what further recommendations would you provide to Brad in regards to his diet?
