Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Joints are formed by the articulation of the surfaces of two or more bones. They also consist of cartilage, synovial membrane, ligaments, tendons, synovial fluids, bursa and meniscus. With aging, there are a number of changes that occur within the joints due to a decrease in strength of ligament and tendons and the modification in the protein structure of collagen fiber.

The design of synovial joints permits free movement of bones. However, if bones moved too freely, they would potentially move right out of their joint cavities (dislocation). A number of factors modify movement at synovial joints. Pick 2 factors from the list below and explain how your chosen factors affect joint motion.                         Bones                         Fat Pad                         Hormones                         Muscles                           Ligaments
Each of the pairs of phrases below describe steps during skeletal muscie contraction. The 2nd phrase should take place after the 1st phrase. Which of the pairs of phrases is out of order? muscle cell action potential leads to neurotransmitter release motor neuron action potential leads to muscle cell action potential sarcolemma depolarization leads to an increase in cytosolic calcium rise in cytosolic calcium leads to cross bridge cycle
Bones, Muscles, and JointsYou are at a sports complex that has several events going on to include soccer, lacrosse, basketball and football. as you walk around and stop at the different games you spot different incidents occur that require the player t leave the field. these include a player holding there arm/shoulder, one unable to put weight on their foot/leg, one holding the area around the buttocks/upper thigh, one is holding the side of his head, and one is holding these stomach/side. knowing what you know now about the bones, muscles and joints discuss in detail, what bones muscles or joints are in these areas and what type of diagnostic technique could be used
