A diseases that causes inflamed, swollen and painful joints.
There are 3 types of arthritis
Axial Skeleton
A position of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, clavicle, and vertebral column
Ball and Socket Joint
Head of one bone articulates with cavity of other. Movements in all planes and rotations.
Ex: Shoulder and Hip
Rotational Movement: Allows bones to rotate on its axis
Bone Marrow
Is in the shaft/diaphysis of the bone. This is where the red and white blood cells are made
Circumaduction Joints
Movement of the limb in a circular motion
Clavicle is _______ to the scapula
Anterior
Cleft Palate
The roof of the mouth doesn’t connect forms a gap or cleft.
Affects upper jaw, problems with appearance, speech, and swallowing
Components of Bones
Spongy: Has spaces - epiphysis
Compact: No space between cells — shaft in the shaft
Bone Marrow is the shaft/diaphysis of the bone is where the red and white blood cells are made
Condyle
A rounded process usually is an area that attaches to another bone
Core Terms
Anterior, Posterior, Superior, and Inferior
Diathrosis
Freely moveable joints
Structural Category: Synovial
Ex: Pelvic Girdle, hips, shoulder, elbow, and knee
Diarthrotic Joints
Synovial Joints:
Hinge Joints: movement in one plane only (elbows and phalanges)
Pivot Joints: allows rotation for neck, wrist, elbow, and radius
Distal
Furthest away from the trunk
Clavicle is _______ to the scapula
Anterior
Ribs are____ to the sternum
Posterior
The coccyx is _______ to the skull
Inferior
The skull is ______ to the sternum
Superior
The ulna is_______ to the radius
Medial
The metacarpals are _______ to the carpals
Distal
The femur is ______ to the tibia
Proximal
The radius is _______ to the ulna
Lateral
Bone Marrow
is in the shaft/diaphysis of the bone this is where red and white blood cells are made
Epiphysis
is found at two ends of the bone
Long bones
Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Metacarpal, Phalanges, Femur, Tibia, Fibula, and Metatarsals
Flat bones
Cranial bones, Scapula Sternum and Ribs
Irregular Bones
Does not fit into the category: Vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, and all facial bones
Sesamoid bone
Patella-is a type of bone that is found inside a tendon. This is where a tendon passes over the joint
Storage and Minerals
-Calcium and Phosphorous
-If the body cannot get enough calcium from nutrition, osteoclasts, will break down the bones to obtain the minerals
-Bones produce white and red blood cells in bone marrow
Structure, Protection and Shape
The muscle pulls on bones and gives stress on bones, which makes more bone
Tuberosity
A rounded process that allows for attachment for a muscle
Suture
An interlocking line between two bones(bones of skull)
Foramen
An opening in a bone through a bone that usually serves as a passageway for blood vessels, nerves or ligaments
Condyle
A rounded process usually is an area that attaches to another bone
Process
A prominent projection on a bone
Head
An enlargement on the end of a bone
Osteoporosis
A condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily.
-Process of bones becoming weak
-Women are affected more after menopause
-Prevention: Calcium and exercise
Red bone marrow transplant
Replaces unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy ones
-Produces red blood cells/or any blood cells
Cleft palate
The roof the mouth doesn't connect forms a gap or cleft.
-Affects the upper jaw, problems with swallowing, appearance and speech
Spina Bifida
Spinal cords ends like a ball on the outside of the skin
-Difficulty with bladder
-There is a possible way to fix in when in mother's womb
Osteoma
Bone tumor attached to bone
Arthritis
A diseases that causes inflamed, swollen and painful joints
There are 3 different types of arthritis
Osteoarthritis
the most common form of arthritis, together with minor signs of inflammation from wear and tear
-Most common areas are fingers, lower vertebrates, knees, and hips
Post traumatic arthritis
-This is a branch of osteoarthritis
-Occurs due to an injury at a joint
-Many times happens while playing a sport.
-Most commonly after a fracture or dislocation
Rheumatoid Arthritis
-This type of arthritis is an autoimmune disease
-This is where the synovial joints get inflamed and thickened which leaves thick and deposits
-This leads to restrictions in movement and is very painful
Scoliosis
-When back curves to one side or the other
-If it severe you can't expand lungs to full potential
Kyphosis
Hunch back, an increase curve from front to the back
Lordosis
Increases curve from back to front: Stomach sticks out
Joints
are meeting place between two bones
Diarthrosis
Freely moveable joints /structural categories are called synovial ex: pelvic girdle, hips, shoulder, elbow, and knee
Amphiarthrosis
Slight moveable joint/Structural category: Cartilaginous
ex: tibia, fibula, vertebrae, pubic bone
Synarthrosis
Non-moveable joint/ Structural joint category: Fibrous joint
ex: sutures of skull
Diarthrotic Joints
Synovial joints:
-Hinge Joints: movement in one plane only(elbow, phalanges
-Pivot joints: allow rotation neck, wrist, elbow, and radius allows for rotation
Hinge Joints
movement in one plane only(elbow, phalanges)
Diarthrotic joints
Pivot joints
allow rotation neck, wrist, elbow, and radius allows for rotation
Diarthrotic joints
Gliding/Plane joints
Allows sliding/gliding movement -- back and forth , side to side (joints within wrist and ankle)
Diarthrotic joints
Saddle Joints
Permits variety of movements.
Articulating surfaces have both convex and concave surfaces
- allows you to twiddle your thumbs
Diarthrotic joints
Ball and Socket Joint
Head of one bone articulates with cavity of other. Movements in all planes and rotations.
Ex: Shoulder and Hip
-Rotational movement: allows bones to rotate on its axis
Angular Movement of Joints
These types of joints will increase or decrease the angle of the joints
Flexion, Abduction, Extension, Adduction, Hypertension and Circumduction
Flexion
Decreasing the angle at a joint
Extension
Increasing the angle at a joint
Hypertension
Overly increasing the angle at a joint (ouch)
Abduction
Movement of a limb away from the body
Adduction
Movement of a limb back to the body
Circumaduction joints
Movement of the limb in a circular movement
