@ Nonie girl yes go lay down. You done pulled out the whole medical dictionary. You got me looking back at my bio degree in this mug. Lumbar and cervical spine? Girl stop Just please do not use ICD9 and CPT coding along with it.
But before you go lay down, can you explain this to me what length this is? I was thinking tailbone.
Correction @Tamrin, that was Mane_Attraction pulling out the medical dictionary terms. I was just wondering why we had to go that far to just explain where hair falls on the exterior body. No one is looking at bones when looking a dressed human so why do we need to know the position of various vertebra to ID the location of a part of the body when simple English terms like "middle of the back" and "below shoulder blade" and "shoulder" suffice. *shrug*
For your hairy dude, looks like he's marking BSB (top white mark on the right), the second mark (on the left could be MBL), the third white mark is a little higher than WSL IMO. See, and I did that w/o knowing what his bones are called or where they are. Easy peasy!
ETA Tamrin, you're a foo-el! I just noticed your avatar.
But before you go lay down, can you explain this to me what length this is? I was thinking tailbone.
Lol Nonie, it really isnt all that complicated at all (or maybe im just used to palpation and estimating vertebrae levels myself). As for fat people chiros, do deal with a lot of obese patients but we just have to do a good estimation of where the levels are. The purpose of my explanation was for everyone to see precisely where these levels are. You can easily look at someones back and figure out where T3 or T8 may be at (or at least I thought so).
Who doesnt know what an ilium is Its the human body & I think everyone should be able to understand and know a few simple facts about their own selves.
Thing is, there are just so many inconsistencies with determining length, that I just believe using the dang skeleton is a more precise way since many people on this board are always arguing about exactly where the location is (since these topics come up a few times each year). I say this because the skeleton majority of the time is consistent to everyone regardless of how tall or fat one is. AND because you can not dispute the skeleton.
Besides yall was bringing up pictures of skeletons and talking about clavicles and stuff so I figured it may help someone out. I guess it didnt, oh well my bad I just really love anatomy since its apart of my field of learning
Sorry, I call this BS. Bone names have never had anything to do with body parts. So no, what we calls shoulders is what shoulders are. Who said that bone names determined body parts? Where on earth did you get this lie from?
The word "shoulder" came into the English language before the 12th century. It referred and has always referred to the top part of the torso that starts from the bottom of the neck to the part where the arm joins the torso. So what do you mean it's inaccurate? The word scapula aka shoulder blade came into the English language in 1578 and refers to the trianglular bone in the back. The shoulder girdle is covered with flesh and skin and is that top surface after you've added flesh and skin that is SHOULDER. Not the bones.
I don't understand how come you are not able to separate science from everyday language. I mean, no one speaking in layman terms talks about tibia, femur etc. And you are wrong about there not being any other part of the body that has names that don't correspond with the bones. I just talked about hips and hipbone earlier. One's way higher than the other. I mean, if you're going to be so literal, then what's the funny bone? Is it near the funny? And is the collar bone up by the neck where the collar sits? And why do we have one breast bone when we have two breast and why isn't it inside the breasts? (Oh dear, it's in the wrong place!).

I'm neither, but I also did anatomy and physiology and also took English and I know enough to know that the two fields should not be confused with each other. The only time a bone becomes important in this hair chart is when it's a bone that sticks out (like the collarbone which happens to be at the lowest level of shoulder so works as a check for "final point of SL"; and the shoulder blade because it too sticks out in the back at the point where BSL would be so works better since its position is constant; and the hipbone, because it too sticks out right after the waist) so you can feel it outside the skin. The other parts are obvious: waist goes in, hips go out, tailbone is at the top of butt crack, middle of back is halfway down the back, etc.
Where is azul with a "god bless you all'? This thread has been killed and resurrected about 16 times now. LMAO!!!!!!!!
And, yes the SHOULDER is often misnamed because a lot of people don't know where it really is. So, if we are indeed being technical - shoulder length ain't where the majority of LHCF says it is. .
