Synovial joint

Increased blood supply An increase our blood supply which is when our muscles contract that cause an increase in temperature and metabolic activity (chemical reactions). As a result when our muscles contract there is a greater need for oxygen which is met by capillary dilation. For example The rugby players when they are warming up their bodies will start to do this, when the body gets warm the blood will flow faster. Muscle fibre micro tears During exercise, our muscles are put under stress…

protecting the lifter’s knees from injury. 1. Knee wraps help to preventing knee injury. They protect the knee joint and act as a reinforced set of tendons during the squatting to enhance the explosive power out of the bottom of the lift. In other words, they help to keep everything firm and in place. They also keep the knee joint warm and therefore better lubricated with synovial fluid. 2. They help you…

demand that is met through capillary dilation to increase blood supply. The muscles warm during any form of exercise as to make them more pliable and so to reduce any risks of injury; this is known as an increase in muscle pliability. Movement of the joints…

Throughout the the world violence and fear take peoples attention everyday. The Famines in Africa, the child slavery in India, the politics in Asia and drugs and terrorism in the Iran and Pakistan are the forefront of the daily news who focus so heavily on these foreign issues of violence and fear.

Water is one of the most important and essential fluid to our human body. We use and drink water almost 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, however, many of us probably have never thought of and find out what are the chemical and scientific reasons behind the importance of water. Approximately 50-65% of the average adult human body is water, however, this varies based on a number of factors such as age, health, weight and sex. In males, it is normally about 60% of the body weight. In…

Osteoarthritis has a known cause, which may be trauma infection, hemarthrosis, osteocrosis or some other condition. Osteoarthritis is present worldwide as a heterogenous group of conditions that lead to slow progression of the joint structures with integrity of articular cartilage and underlying bone. Osteoarthritis can lead to deformity and loss of function the underlying problem in this case is osteoarthritis, even though the diagnosis only says that the osteoarthritis is in…

Body Planes, Regions, Cavities, and Directional Terms The fundamentals of learning the body in the medical field are body planes, regions, cavities, and directional terms. First up are the body planes, which the definition of a body plane is simply a two-dimensional surface. The dimensions of the body plane are both of length and of width and the body planes are used to describe the different locations that are located in the body or are just used for the point of location. There are three…

results into local swelling, warmth, and redness. The enlargement can place strain on nerve endings that can result into pain in the area. Inflammation may occur in joints or extremities. Inflammation may occur with overuse of a body area or with minor injuries. Pain, swelling, redness, and warmth that develop suddenly in a big toe joint may be a symptom of gout. In the Annie's case we can see that medical officer already diagnosed her provisional disease is "Gout". so we can discuss more about…

249-261 Engineering Design Process in Context: “Ligaments play an important role in stabilizing and balancing knee joint movement. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remain a challenge in clinical and experimental settings due to the poor healing potential of ACL injuries.” This introductory sentence, found in the Abstract, sums up the first step of the design…

A gout attack is characterized by the presence of urate crystals in the soft tissues and synovial tissue and is often precipitated by sudden increase, or sudden decrease in serum urate levels. Symptoms of acute gout are the “sudden onset of pain, erythema, limited range of motion, and swelling in the involved joint, usually involving the first metatarsal joint of the great toe”(Woo & Wynne, 2011, p. 869). Acute gout can be observed in four stages: 1. Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia:…
