Pivot joint: A rounded portion of a bone is enclosed within a ring formed partially by the articulation with another bone and partially by a ligament . The bone rotates within this ring. Since the rotation is around a single axis‚ pivot joints are functionally classified as a uniaxial diarthrosis type of joint. An example of a pivot joint is the atlantoaxial joint‚ found between the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae. Here‚ the upward projecting dens of the axis articulates with the inner aspect

the results of over contraction or overextending. Fractures or a break in the bone are other common sports injuries. There are two types of fractures; stress and acute fractures. Stress fractures occur from continuous stress on the bone. Sportsmen can also suffer dislocation‚ which is an injury that results when two connected bones are separated at the joint. Knee injuries are other common injuries and can range from a bone or cartilage

Osteoarthritis are both diseases of the bone. Osteoporosis actually means “porous bones” and is a problem with bones where there isn’t enough calcium in them to give them strength. This is because the bone cells aren’t being reproduced as fast as the bone is aging or deteriorating which causes the bones to become fragile. This can happen because of loss of calcium in the bone‚ or a problem with the calcium being absorbed correctly‚ which it needs in order to build new bone tissue and complete the remodeling

The knee is set up as a central point where three bones meet together forming the knee itself. These bones are the femur (thigh bone)‚ shinbone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). All of which are connected to other bones by ligaments. The four primary ligaments in the knee are the LCL (lateral collateral ligament)‚ PCL (posterior cruciate ligament)‚ MCL (medial collateral ligament) and the ACL. Each ligament acts like a rope to anchor each bone together and the entire knee stable. These four ligaments

In addition‚ bone pain is more often related to a benign condition‚ like an injury‚ rather than it is to cancer. Another unique aspect of this case is that Osteosarcoma in the “feet

Oihus Abstract As humans our bodies are made up of several types of tissues‚ organs‚ bones muscles and nerves. I am going to talk about the joints of the skeletal system. The skeletal system gives us our shape and protects the inner structures of our bodies. In this system there are areas where 2 or more bones are held together in one of three ways. These are called joints and the bones and movement of the bones classifies the type of joint that is in that particular area. Written assignment Week
