Commonly the term chest is used as a synonym for thorax, but it is incorrect. Consisting of the thoracic cavity, its contents, and the wall that surrounds it. The thoracic cavity is divided into 3 compartments: The central mediastinus. And the right and left pulmonary cavities. Thoracic Cage The thoracic skeleton forms the osteocartilaginous thoracic cage.

Some of the most important modifications occur in the musculoskeletal system. At the time of childbirth, natural widening of the pubic symphysis and the sacroiliac joints occur. Those changes are often reversible after childbirth. Peripartum pubic symphysis separation is a relatively rare disease and there is no homogeneous approach to treatment. The paper presents the current standards of diagnosis and treatment of pubic diastasis based on orthopedic and gynecological indications.

It is a viscous, mucinous substance Jthat lubricates most joints. Analysis of synovial fluid is important in the diagnosis of joint disease. Aspiration of joint fluid is indicated for any patient with a joint effusion or inflamed joints. Aspiration of asymptomatic joints is beneficial for patients with gout and pseudogout as these fluids may still contain crystals.1 Evaluation of physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics of synovial fluid comprise routine analysis. This chapter includes an overview of the composition and function of synovial fluid, and laboratory procedures and their interpretations.

  • 38.3 Joints and Skeletal Movement.Pdf
    1198 Chapter 38 | The Musculoskeletal System Decalcification of Bones Question: What effect does the removal of calcium and collagen have on bone structure? Background: Conduct a literature search on the role of calcium and collagen in maintaining bone structure. Conduct a literature search on diseases in which bone structure is compromised. Hypothesis: Develop a hypothesis that states predictions of the flexibility, strength, and mass of bones that have had the calcium and collagen components removed. Develop a hypothesis regarding the attempt to add calcium back to decalcified bones. Test the hypothesis: Test the prediction by removing calcium from chicken bones by placing them in a jar of vinegar for seven days. Test the hypothesis regarding adding calcium back to decalcified bone by placing the decalcified chicken bones into a jar of water with calcium supplements added. Test the prediction by denaturing the collagen from the bones by baking them at 250°C for three hours. Analyze the data: Create a table showing the changes in bone flexibility, strength, and mass in the three different environments. Report the results: Under which conditions was the bone most flexible? Under which conditions was the bone the strongest? Draw a conclusion: Did the results support or refute the hypothesis? How do the results observed in this experiment correspond to diseases that destroy bone tissue? 38.3 | Joints and Skeletal Movement By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: • Classify the different types of joints on the basis of structure • Explain the role of joints in skeletal movement The point at which two or more bones meet is called a joint, or articulation.
