consisting of 4 bones and an extensive network of ligaments and muscles. What is the scientific name of this joint? The knee joints that make up the knee are split into three parts. The femur meets the tibia to form the main knee joint. This joint has an inner called medial and an outer called lateral compartment. The patella joins the femur to form a third joint‚ called the patellofemoral joint. The patella protects the front of the knee joint. What bones make up this joint? The Bones that make up

The skeleton is made up of 206 bones that are separated into two groups. Firstly‚ the Axial Skeleton. The Axial skeleton is made up of 80 different bones whereas the Appendicular skeleton is made up of 126 bones.

Chapter 10 Muscle The muscular system helps in providing the movement for bones and in doing so allows the body to make complex movements. Muscle is one of the four types of primary tissue. The three kind of muscle tissue that make up the human body are: skeletal muscle‚ smooth muscle‚ and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and are usually found attached to bones where they help to produce movement of the skeleton. Smooth muscle is involuntary and are usually found in the walls of the

I learned that osteomalacia means soft bones‚ and that is exactly what the disease is. The mineralization in the bones does not happen properly‚ causing bones to be made up of a collagen matrix with no mineralization covering. This causes bones to be soft‚ making it hard to put any pressure on them at all. People experiencing this will have constant‚ or almost constant‚ pain in bones and ligaments. Osteomalacia can also cause partial fractures in the bones due to weakness. In some cases‚ even muscle

most common name for Osteoarthritis is “Arthritis”. Millions of people are diagnosed with it all over the world.

Fractures are mended by wearing a cast to immobilize the bone for healing. Depending on hope bad the break is‚ surgery may be needed.
