Q

What are the joints? fig 14.5

A

KNEE

Ligament: flexible tough band of fibrous connective tissue that attaches BONE TO JOINT

synovial cavity: synovia is a fluid secreted by the synovial membrane found in joint cavities bursae and around tendons

Meniscus: crescent shaped cartilage FOUND IN SOME JOINTS

Bursa: fluid filled sac allowing easy movement of one part of a joint over another

Tendon: band of fibrous connective tissue that attaches MUSCLE TO BONE

Q

What are the 3 types of muscles?

A
  • skeletal muscles (striated) attached to bones by tendons and make movement possible/ voluntary muscles
  • cardiac muscle: cardiac muscle (KAR-dē-ak) (MUS-el): forms most of the wall of the heart. Its involuntary contraction produces the heartbeat.
    -smooth muscle (involuntary/unstriated): smooth muscles (smooth) (MUS-els) (unstriated): located in internal organs, such as the walls of blood vessels and the digestive tract. They are also called involuntary muscles because they respond to impulses from the autonomic nerves and are not controlled voluntarily.

Q

osteopetrosis

A

Osteopetrosis is group of a rare disorders that cause bones to grow abnormally and become overly dense. When bones become overly dense, they are brittle and can fracture (break) easily. In addition, bones may be misshapen and large, causing other problems in the body.

Q

myasthenia gravis

A

37
Q

osteoporosis

A

condition in which bones become weak and brittle.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle. The body constantly absorbs and replaces bone tissue. With osteoporosis, new bone

38
Q

rheumatoid arthritis

A

inflammatory disorder usually affecting small joints in the hands and feet.
In rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue, typically in the hands and feet. In some people, the condition can damage body systems including the skin, eyes, lung, heart and blood vessels.

It affects joint linings, causing painful swelling. This may lead to bone erosion and joint deformity. Fatigue, fever and loss of appetite also can be symptoms.
