Outcome 1
Anatomy and Physiology of a human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals
Body joints are where two bones meet. Joints help enable our bodies to move.
Types of joints
* Ball and socket joints: are the most mobile type of joint in body
* Joints between the vertebrae in spine: are connected to each other by pads of cartilage. These joints can only move a small amount.
* Synovial joints: are movable joints containing synovial; a lubricating fluid. Synovial joints are in the limbs where mobility is important. Ligaments provide stability and muscles contract to produce movement. Common synovial joints are:
* Gliding joints are between two flat bones held together by ligaments, some of these bones in wrists and ankles move by gliding against each other. * Pivot joint in the neck help the head to turn from side to side. * Saddle joints are in thumbs and their bones can rock back and forth and from side to side but have limited rotation. * Ball and socket joints like hip and shoulder are mobile joint in the human body allowing arms and legs to swing. * Hinge joints are in knees and elbows enabling movement similar to the opening and closing of a hinged door. * Ellipsoidal joints are at the base of index finger bending, extending and rocking but rotation is limited.
Ligaments Cartilage: Bones are attached to other bones by long fibre known as ligaments cartilage which is a flexible, rubbery substance supporting and protecting bones.
Human body has more than 650 muscles, that typically make up half of a normal person's body weight, connected to the bones by tough, cord-like tissues called tendons, which allow the muscles to pull on
