Question
Answer
The body contains -- joints   300  
🗑
Only bone without a joint is the --   Hyoid bone in the neck  
🗑
Joints are also called   Articulations  
🗑
Joints may be classified according to how moveable they are..   fixed, semi-movable, or freely movable.  
🗑
Fixed joints   Are bound by fibers and are called fibrous joints.  
🗑
Semi-movable joints   Are joined together by cartilage and are called cartilaginous joints  
🗑
Fibrous joints   Also called Synarthroses  
🗑
Cartilaginous joints   Two bones are joined by cartilage. These joints are slight movable.  
🗑
Synovial joints   Also called diarthroses- are freely movable.  
🗑
Joint Capsule   Extending from the periosteum of each of the of the articulating bone is a sheet of connective tissue that encloses the joint cavity  
🗑
Synovial Membrane   This moist, slippery membrane lines the inside of the capsule, where it secretes synovial fluid.  
🗑
Joint cavity   Small space between the bones allows for freedom of movement. It also contains Synovial fluid.  
🗑
Articular cartilage   A thin layer of hyaline cartilage covers the bone surface  
🗑
Ligaments   Tough cords of connective tissue help bind the bones more firmly together.  
🗑
Some joints - such as the knee, shoulder, and elbow contain small sacs filled with   Synovail called Bursae  
🗑
The body contains-- types of snyovial joins   Ball and socket joint pivot joint hinge joint saddle joint condyloid joint gliding joint  
🗑
ball and socket joint   the ball shaped heard of one bone fits into a cup-like socket of another bone to form this joint.  
🗑
pivot joint   the projection from one bone articulates with ring-shaped socket of another bone, allowing the bones to rotate.  
🗑
hinge joint   just like a hinge door, these joints allow only back and forth movements (flexion and extension)  
🗑
condyloid joint   an over convex surface on one bone fits into a similarly shaped depression on another. allows flexion and extension as well as side-to-side movement  
🗑
gliding joint   the two bones surfaces- which are relatively flat- slide over each other. examples are - tarsal bones of the ankle, and carpal bones of the wrist.

🗑
Osteoarthritis   Affects 85% of people over age 70.  
🗑
Rheumatoid Arthritis   Is an autoimmune disease which the body's antibody attacks the synovial membranes, leading to degeneration of the articular cartilage and thickening of the synovial membrane.  
🗑

🗑
Smooth Muscle   Found in the digestive tract, blood vessels, bladder, airways, and uterus. Does not appear striped when viewed under a microscope, so is called nonstraited Known as involuntary muscle because it contracts automatically ( such as when the digestive tract  
🗑
Skeleton Muscle   Attached to bone and causes movement of the body. Known as voluntary muscle because it can be contracted at will. Appears markedly striated when examined with a microscope  
🗑
Inotonic Contraction   Muscle changes length and moves a load, while the tension within the muscle remains the same  
🗑
Isometric Contraction   Tension in the muscle increases while the length stays the same.  
🗑
Frontal   Raises the eyebrows  
🗑
Orbicularius Oculi   Sphincter muscles that closes the eye when blinking or squinting.
