Acids Bases and pH Scale. I. Acids *Acids are ionic compounds (a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H +). *The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H + ions in the solution.The more H+ the stronger the acid.*The pH scale is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration. It spans from 0 to 14 with the middle point (pH 7) being neutral (neither acidic or basic). Any pH number greater than 7 is considered a base and any pH number less than 7 is considered an acid. 0 is the strongest acid and 14 is the strongest base.
The pelvic muscles are positioned like a mini trampoline that slings across the area where you sit. They run from the pubic bone at the front, to the lower part of the tail bone at the back and from side to side between the sit bones. The pelvic floor muscles are positioned in layers in the floor of the pelvis. This position can make them vulnerable to strain and injury, especially in women.
Muscles of the Abdomen, Lower Back and Pelvis. The muscles of the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis are separated from those of the chest by the muscular wall of the diaphragm, the critical breathing muscle.ull Muscles of the Abdomen, Lower Back and Pelvis Description. Extending across the anterior surface of the body from the superior border of the pelvis to the inferior border of the ribcage are the muscles of the abdominal wall, including the transverse and rectus abdominis and the internal and external obliques.
