Game-Changer Former Hockey Star Joins Cellino Law as Attorney
Make no bones about it; our skeletons are a real rib-tickler of fascinating facts! From the impressive strength of our thigh bones to the tiny marvels of the inner ear, your bones are the unsung heroes of your body. So, rest your bones in a comfy chair because we are about to dig up some of the most shocking skeletal secrets. BABIES HAVE MORE BONES THAN ADULTS. Although babies are tiny, their bodies have many bones in a pudgy, little package. Human babies have about 300 bones compared to an adult’s 206. Many extra bones are entirely or partly made of cartilage, allowing the baby to stay flexible in the womb. Over time, the bones fuse and decrease in number. Fracture rates are highest when kids are around ages 11–15, the critical time for significant growth spurts thanks to growth plates that close as we age. HALF OF OUR BONES ARE IN OUR FEET AND HANDS. Did you know that many of our bones are in the smaller extremities of our body? Nearly half of our 206 adult bones are in our hands and feet! Each foot has 26 bones, and our hands both have 27 bones, which is 106 bones. Our hands even have a bonus bone called the pisiform, located on the outside edge of our wrists. THE FUNNY BONE IS A NERVE. Have you ever hit your funny bone? Well, you are not hitting a bone at all. This area on the body is part of the ulnar nerve, which goes from your neck to your hand. Bone, muscle, and fat typically protect nerves, but a small portion of this nerve on the back of your elbow is more exposed. So, when you hit your funny bone, named for its location near the humerus bone (a homophone of “humorous”), you’re really bumping into the ulnar nerve. So, now that you’ve “boned up” on the most fascinating fossil facts, give your skeleton a little nod for the incredible things it does to support you and keep you moving! ‘Bone’ Voyage EXPLORING THE MARVELS OF YOUR SKELETAL SYSTEM!
Cellino Law could not provide our unparalleled quality of service without our excellent legal team. Our attorneys are always working to secure our clients the best outcome possible, and each has a unique story worth sharing. Brigitte Cellino brings with her years of legal experience, including her work as Assistant District Attorney, and valuable insight to our ranks, and we are ecstatic that she has decided to bring her talents to our firm. LAW AND HOCKEY Brigitte was a collegiate athlete and psychology major at Trinity College, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. Not only did she play four years of women’s ice hockey for the Trinity Bantams, but she was named captain. Naturally, she enjoys working with people, getting to know them personally, no matter her role — a skill she uses regularly in her current position. After college, she worked days and attended business school at night, eventually earning her MBA from Canisius College. After spending some time in the business world, she decided to pursue a career in law, earning her Juris Doctorate degree from Suffolk University Law School. VALUABLE EXPERIENCE Throughout attending law school in Boston, she gained valuable experience working at Keches Law Group in the Workers' Compensation Department. This was the perfect introduction to representing individuals who have been injured. Her legal career officially began when she served as an Assistant District Attorney for the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, where she worked on countless cases alongside a talented and skilled legal team. Brigitte was in the courtroom on an almost daily basis, earning more trial experience than many attorneys receive in their lifetimes, and developed great camaraderie with her fellow attorneys and judges. After starting her new and most important role as a mother, she decided it was the perfect time to join Cellino Law, where she could put her experience to work on behalf of the community her children will be a part of.
