What is the importance of correct movement and positioning of joints?
Correct movement and positioning of joints are important for maintaining proper alignment and function of the body. It helps prevent injuries, reduces wear and tear on the joints, and allows for efficient movement and muscle activation. Improper movement and positioning can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
Why is it important that cartilaginous joints exhibit amphiarthrosis?
Cartilaginous joints that exhibit amphiarthrosis allow for slight movement, which is important for absorbing shock and providing flexibility in the joint. This type of movement is crucial in areas like the spine or pelvis, where stability and mobility are needed. Amphiarthrosis also helps distribute forces evenly across the joint, reducing wear and tear on the tissues.
What is the Coefficient of friction for synovial joint?
The coefficient of friction for synovial joints is generally low, ranging from 0.01 to 0.03. This low friction allows smooth movement of the joints without excessive wear and tear. The synovial fluid within the joint cavity helps reduce friction by providing lubrication between the articulating surfaces.
WHAT provides a cushion wear and tear in a joint?
ligaments;] cartilage A+
What provides a Cushon and prevents wear in tear in a joint?
the cartilage
What is Wear and tear on joints that effects older people?
Osteoarthritis.
Wear and tear on joints usually affects older people?
arthritsis
What is the medical term meaning disorder caused by wear and tear on the joints?
Osteoarthritis
Does osteoarthritis usually involve bilateral joints and why?
Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear on the joints. Bilateral means affecting two sides equally, symmetry.
What is bilateral facet arthrosis?
There is wear and tear damage at the facet joints (the places where the "wings" of the vertebrae meet each other), but not at the end plates (the flat parts of the vertebrae that touch the disks).l
What are the types of Arthritis?
RheumatoidOsteoarthritis.
Why is a synovial joint called a synovial joint?
The synovial joint is so called because the gap formed by the two articulating bones contains synovial fluid, which is a clear viscous fluid which lubricates the joints (as well as the sheaths of tendons) to reduce wear and tear.
Why would swimming be a suitable physical activity for a 60 year old?
Full body workout, good aerobics, less wear and tear on joints
What is the most common joint affected by osetoarthritis?
The most common joints affected by osteoarthritis are weight bearing joints like the knees and hips. This is why it is important for people prone to OA to keep their weight to a healthy minimum. This reduces wear and tear on those joints.
What is a fashion word rhyming with wear?
scare +++ tear (as in, "wear and tear"!).
Small bones occurring in some tendons are called?
Sesamoid bones. They provide support and protection against wear and tear on the tendon as it moves over joints. They can be found in areas like the hands, feet, and knees.
What are diseases that are associated with the skeleton?
Some diseases associated with the skeleton include osteoporosis (weakening of bones), osteoarthritis (wear and tear of joints), scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine), and rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease affecting joints).
