Patella |
|
The arch that lies on the inside part of the foot is called |
Medial longitudinal arch |
|
The arch that lies along the outer edge of the foot |
Lateral longitudinal arch |
|
Three types of joint according to degree of movement |
Synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarhroses |
|
Is a joint in which fibrous connective tissue grows between the articulating bones holding them close together. Joint do not have significant movement |
Synarthroses |
|
Is a joint in which part which connects the articulating bones. Only slight movement between joined bones. |
Amphiarthrosis |
|
Caused by pressure of sudden exertion or injury may push it all into spinal canal. Severe pain may result if the disc presses on the spinal cord |
Herniated disc |
|
The vast majority of joints. Joints allow considerable movement sometimes in many directions or only in two directions. This joint has a joint capsule |
Diarthroses |
|
Is made of the body strongest and toughest material fibrous connective tissue and is lined with a smooth slippery synovial membrane. |
Joint capsule |
|
Covers the joint ends of bones and acts like a rubber heel or shoe it absorbs jolts |
Articular cartilage |
|
Or like hinges on a door allowed movement in only two directions mainly flexion and extension |
Hinge joints |
|
Only one pair of these joints exist in the body between the metacarpal bone of each sum and a carpal bone of the wrist |
Saddle joints |
|
Are the least movable diarthrotic joints. Their flat articulating surfaces allow limited gliding movements such as that at the superior and inferior articulating processes between successive vertebrae |
Gliding joints |
|
These are joints in which a condyle fits into an elliptical socket. An example is the fit of the distal end of the radius into depressions in the carpal bones. |
Condyloid joint |
|
This is a joint in which a ball shaped head of one bone fits into a concave socket of another. Example would be hip and shoulder joint |
Ball and socket joint |
|
Are joints in which small projections of one bone pivots in an arch of another bone. An example a projection of the axis the second vertebrae in the neck pivots in an arch of the Atlas the first vertebra of the neck |
Pivot joint |
|
The most common and devastating malignant neoplasm of bone and is usually located in the femur is called |
Osteosarcoma |
|
Is a cancer of skeletal hyaline cartilage tissue and is the second most common type of cancer affecting bones |
Chondrosarcoma |
|
Is the name of the disorder in which bones lose minerals and become less dense. |
Osteoporosis |
|
Compression fractures of the vertebrae result in a short in stature and the classic Kiphosis of the of the thoracic spine |
Dowagers hump |
|
Loss of minerals from bone related vitamin D deficiency |
Demineralization |
|
Involves demineralization of developed bones in infants and young children before skeleton maturity |
Rickets |
|
Is demineralation of bones that have already matured |
Osteomalacia |
|
Is characterized by localized intermittent an uncontrolled episodes of almost frenzied osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity |
Paget disease or osteitis deformans |
|
Is a genetic disease that can affect 1 and 30000 first and is also called brittle bone disease |
Osteogenesis imperfecta |
|
Is the general name for bacterial infections of bone and marrow tissue. Staphylococcus is the bacteria most common of pathogens found in this condition. |
Osteomyelitis |
|
Are fractures in which bone pierces the skin and invite the possibility of infection or osteomyelitis |
Open fractures |
|
D these fractures also known as simple fractures do not pierce the skin and so do not pose an immediate danger of bone infection |
Closed fractures |
|
Is a fracture when bone fragments separate completely |
Complete fractures |
|
Are fractures in which a bone is bent but broken only on the outer curve of the bend and are often called greenstick fractures |
Incomplete fracture |
|
Are fractures that produce many fragments |
Comminuted fractures |
|
These fractures occur when bone fragments are driven into each other |
Impacted fractures |
|
A fracture line is parallel to the bones long axis |
Linear fracture |
|
A fracture line is at a right angle to the bones long axis |
Transverse fracture |
|
Is a fracture line is diagonal to the bones long axis. The fracture line seems to spiral around the bone like the stripes of a candy cane the fracture may also be called spiral fracture |
Oblique fracture |
|
Known as degenerative joint disease is the most common non-inflammatory disorder of movable joints |
Osteoarthritis |
|
Occurs when the articular surfaces of bones forming the joint are no longer in proper contact with each other |
Dislocation or subluxation |
|
Is used to describe an injury involving the musculotendinous unit and may involve the muscle the tendon and the junction between the two as well as their attachments to bone |
Strain |
|
In cases of violent muscle contractions can cause a fracture in which a piece of bone is pulled free |
Avulsion fracture |
|
A type of immune disease that involves chronic inflammation of connective tissues. It begins in the synovial membrane and spreads to the cartilage and other tissues often causing severe crippling |
Rheumatoid arthritis |
|
Is more severe than the adult form but involves similar deterioration and deformity of joints. The joint inflammatory process often destroys growth of the cartilage and growth of long bones is arrested |
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis |
|
Is a metabolic condition in which uric acid a nitro Genesis wave increases in the blood. Excess uric acid is deposited as sodium urate crystals in distal joints and other tissues |
