Synovial joint

particular joint. As a result, during the clinical evaluation phase it is important to consider a broad differential diagnosis because many disorders can present with similar clinical features. Pseudo gout, septic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, cellulitis, acute fracture should be considered as differential diagnosis for patients with above mentioned symptoms (Dunphy et al., 2015, p. 914). Pseudo gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden painful swelling in the joints.…

Joints are where one or more bones meet another bone. They have connective tissues that hold bones together and they also permit bones to move without damaging each other. There are three main types of joints: immovable joints, slightly movable joints, and freely movable joints. Immovable joints are also called fixed joints, meaning they have absolutely no movement. The bones are interlocked and they grow together until they are fused together. Slightly movable joints permit a small…

our bodies tend to slow down and produce much less of the gooey liquid known as synovial fluid, which lubricates our joints. Synovial fluid is like a clear and slippery water that is filled with lipids (predominant fat) and proteins, which cushion the cartilage, permitting the joints to move conveniently. As these main fluids shrink, wear on the cartilage increases, causing joint pains, weak spot and inflammation. Joint ache is particularly original and may restrict one from dwelling a full and…

Muscles bone and joints As we age so does our bodies, changes in the body is a result of changes muscles bone and joints. Our muscles will weaken, joins will ache and our bones will become brittle. Although this is a natural part of aging, how we treat our bodies now will affect how our body function in the future. Things like having a physically activate lifestyle, not doing a lot of physically activities, how we eat. What we eat will affect how well your body function when you age.…

Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathophysiology is the disordered physiological processes associated with diseases or injury and how the progress of that disease or injury changes the body. Rheumatoid arthritis may cause swelling and intense pain throughout various joints, but it can also cause many other problems in the body. If the arthritis gets bad enough, it can cause a low count in red blood cells, inflammation around the heart and lungs, and a person could even develop a fever followed by low…

Rheumatoid arthritis is defined as, “a chronic systemic disease marked by inflammation of multiple synovial joints.” The inflammation within the articulations causes the synovial fluid inside the joints to harden making range of motion decrease significantly. Over time, if left unmonitored, the cartilage between the joints breaks down, causing permanent joint damage and deformity. There are an estimated 2 million people in the United States afflicted by rheumatoid arthritis with…

located between the elbow joint and the shoulder. The proximal end is by the shoulder joint and the distal end is by the elbow joint. Radius: The radius is one of two bones in the forearm. It is found on the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist and runs parallel to the ulna. The proximal end is by the elbow joint and the distal end is by the carpals. Ulna: It is located on the opposite side of the forearm to the thumb. The proximal end is by the elbow joint and the and the…

The etiology and pathogenesis of RA are complex and multifaceted. A range of predetermined (genes) and stochastic (random events and environment) factors contribute to susceptibility and pathogenesis.(kelly). The initiation of RA probably begins years before the onset of clinical symptoms. This process involves certain specific genes that can help break tolerance and lead to autoreactivity. It is likely that the earliest phases are marked by repeated activation of innate immunity Cigarette smoke…

also known as RA, is the most common autoimmune arthritis. It affects more than 1.3 million Americans and can affect any person of any age. RA causes stiffness, pain, swelling, and limited function of many joints in the body. While most people know rheumatoid arthritis to only affect the joints of the body, it can sometimes spread to other body systems, earning the classification of a systemic disease. If someone is suspected of having rheumatoid arthritis, they will be sent to a rheumatologist,…

provides an important function for the human body. It is perhaps one of the most important of the systems in that muscles, bones and joints provide the mechanisms for movement that facilitates the continuance of life processes, as well as the movements that make for an enjoyable life experience. Without the musculoskeletal system, which is comprised of bones, joints and muscles there would be no blood flow, heartbeat or digestion, and there would certainly be no physical movement. Bones The…
