Try this site, you can click on the bones of the hand and it will tell you what the bone is called.

The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.

Dysarthria
Definition
Dysarthria is a speech diagnostic term that can be used to classify various types of neuromuscular speech disturbances. Dysarthria results from notable degrees of one or more abnormalities involving speech musculature, including weakness, paralysis, incoordination, sensory deprivation, exaggerated reflex patterns, uncontrollable movement activities, and excess or reduced tone. Generally speaking, the dysarthrias are considered motor speech disorders because speaking difficulties are largely due to breakdowns in movement control of one or more muscle groups that compose the speech mechanism. The name of each dysarthria subtype is partially derived from the basic characteristics of the overlying movement disturbances. Notably, normal speech production involves the integration and coordination of five primary physiological subsystems: respiration (breath support); phonation (voice production); articulation (pronunciation of words); resonation (nasal versus oral voice quality); and prosody (rate, rhythm, and inflection patterns of speech).

Hi, thanks, that was one of my sounds like that I added to my comments when I sent it in. I guess they call the surgical table the "bed" now, maybe? I still think it is the same as reverse Trendelenburg (from the olden days when I worked in an OR), but I was not there now, right? Thanks and when I find out I'll let you know. Sometimes I feel so old and deaf! (But then again he was not the best "enunciator" on the block either).
