A synovial joint also known as diarthrosis‚ joins bones with a fibrous joint capsule. It is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones‚ constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity‚ and surrounds the bone articular capsule. The articular capsule keeps the bones together structurally‚ and an inner layer‚ the synovial membrane‚ which seals the synovial fluid. Synovial cavity all diarthroses have the characteristic spaces between the bones that is filled with synovial fluid. Joint capsule

Bone‚ in the human body‚ performs a number of mechanical and physiological functions‚ including mechanical support‚ movement and protection of vital organs. It is a complex tissue that undergoes constant repair and remodelling to its micro-architecture caused as a result of biomechanical forces imparting trauma and homeostatic insults. [1] The basic unit of bone is an osteon‚ which is made up of concentric lamellae of compact bone surrounded by a Haversian canal. There are two components to bone

The musculo skeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move‚ it provides stability‚ protection‚ movement and support to the body . It is also made up of bones‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ cartilage‚ joints and other connective tissue that binds tissues and organs together. The musculo skeletals job is to The skeletal system acts like a framework to support vital organs by keeping them place when doing vigourous sports‚ for example the vertebrae acts like a pillar and holds the

Osteoporosis Many people have known at least one person in their life who has suffered from the term “osteoporosis”. Osteoporosis is a commonly heard of bone disease that effects many. The word osteoporosis literally means “porous bone”. When looked at microscopically‚ bones will appear to have a honeycomb appearance under normal‚ healthy circumstances. When he or she has osteoporosis‚ the microscopic honeycomb shape will have larger spaces between and within its appearance. The bigger spaces within

What is Titanium? It is the 22nd element on the periodic table and labeled Ti. Titanium is strong‚ light‚ and rustproof which is what makes it so important and diverse. The original application for this metal was in the military aerospace industry specifically because of its efficiencies in structural qualities‚ a result of titanium’s strength and density. It has become the metal of choice for many different applications. According to Titanium Industries‚ Inc.‚ Titanium was actually first used

The aim of the following case study is to describe the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system using a 20 year old professional cyclist who sustained a fractured clavicle during a race. The author will discuss the effects of the injury on the normal functions of the systems of the body‚ and the impact on his physical‚ psychological and social well-being. The author will also summarise the pathological changes that occurred. The

Module 04 Case Study: Bone Tissue Part I— “Marissa” Questions 1. Describe bone tissue and the role each component plays in bone physiology and remodeling. What is the difference between compact and spongy bone? (2 points) Spongy bone looks like a sponge hence the name and contains a lot of red bone marrow (medulla ossium rubra). Red bone marrow is what produces red blood cells. Compact bones which consists of medulla ossium flava or yellow bone marrow‚ is made mostly of fat cells (Openstax College

Essential Question The essential question was “How do the skeletal and muscular systems work together to allow the body to move‚ like waving?” The human body is a very complex thing‚ and performing a simple task‚ such as waving to another person‚ involves a lot of work. The muscular system is very important in the aid of movement. It works alongside the skeletal system‚ which is equally as important. The skeletal system is significant to the life of an organism‚ as it performs many functions
