Joints occur where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible - without them, movement would be impossible.

∙ 12y agoThat would be like Osteoarthritis, the bones at the joints would ware down and it would be very painful. Swelling and loss of motion would occur. Pieces of bone may also chip off and float around the joint. Bone spurs may also form.

∙ 14y agoWhen joints wear down, the bones that are connected to the join will start to grind on one another. This process usually contains a great deal pain because the joint is like the cushion between the bones.

What would happen if there were only bones and no
joints or muscles in our body?

Why is cartilage necessary in the human body?
To create the jointThe cartilage provides some shock absorbent property, and the synoval fluid provides lubrication.To allow the joint to move without friction.
What would happen to an elements charge if you add or take away an electron?
It will change.
Which would most likely happen if all of the soil in an ecosystem washed away?
.
What will happen to the animals around the area when the hurricane happens?
the animals would get blown away
What would happen if the earth didn't have no tilted towared or away from the sun?
There would be no seasons - the climate at each point on the earth would be relatively constant.
Which of these illnesses is a common joint disorder in which the joint bone and cartilage wear away?
osteoarthritis
What illness is a common joint order in which the joint bone and cartilage wear away?
Arthrosis
What effect would the loss of articular cartilage have on a joint its bones and their corresponding muscles?
Articular cartilage serves as the cushion within the joint, and as a shock absorber. When cartilage is damaged or worn away, the affected joint becomes painful, stiff, and limited in its range of motion. Articular cartilage can completely wear away so that the affected joint no longer has its cushion and it begins to rub bone-on-bone. In such cases, there is significant pain, loss of motion, and functional disability associated with the affected joint
Which part of a joint could wear away and cause arthritis?
Cartilage. This is a from of connective tissue that covers the bone at the joint it is normally strong and smooth and along with the lubrication of synovial fluid makes a smoothly operating painless joint. Arthritis can be caused through many different processes but it always involved the destruction of the Cartilage to get the ball rolling
What are the symptoms of chondromalacia?
Chondromalacia can affect any joint, but the most common location is inside the knee. It usually begins as a small area of softened cartilage behind the kneecap (patella) that can be painful. Eventually, more of the cartilage softens, and the softened cartilage can crack or shred into a mass of fibers. In severe cases, the damaged cartilage can wear away completely, down to the undersurface of the kneecap. If this happens, the exposed kneecap's bony surface can grind painfully against other knee bones. Also, bits of cartilage can float inside the joint, further irritating the cells that line the joint. In response, these cells produce fluid inside the joint (called a joint effusion).
What does hypertrophic osteoarthritic mean?
Commonly known simply as osteoarthritis (OA) which is a degenerative joint disease (DJD) where joint cartilage wears away causing pain, swelling, limited movement and muscle weakness around the afflicted joint.
What is a smooth tissue which protects the bone from wearing away?
Cartilage is a soft tissue that insulates and protects bones from one another. The wearing of knee cartilage or chondromalacia is caused by the degeneration and loss of soft cartilage tissue. Healthy cartilage protects the knee joint from such wear, and future osteo-arthritic conditions.
How does obesity cause arthritis?
Obesity causes arthritis because the person is heavier there is more pressure on there joints which can wear away some of the cartilage inside the joint and then you would need more synoval fluid to lubricate the joint to stop the friction on it causing pain or getting stuck
What is osteroarithis?
Osteoarthritis is the degenerative joint disease that often occurs due to age and wearing of the joint tissues. Cartilage serves as a padding for the joints, preventing the bones from rubbing each other. This arthritis causes the top layer of cartilage to wear away, allowing for the bones under the cartilage to rub against one another. This causes pain, irritation, and swelling of the joint, leading to limited movement. This is the most common type of arthritis and affects only the joints, not the organs.
What happens if arthritis destroys cartillage in a joint?
then the joint has no cartilage. Cartilage is a tough low friction coating that covers the bone where they form joints it has no nerves that can sense pain. However once it is gone the bone begins to rub directly against bone. Bones do feel pain when damaged. as the bone wears away at its opposing bone in the joint it begins to try and repair itself and that creates ridges or lipping that cause more pain and stiffness in the joint this process can be accompanied by inflammation leading to deformity surrounding the joint.
What is the origin of osteoarthritis?
Articular cartilage, is responsible for the low friction and painless, articulation of synovial joints. Articular cartilage consists of a sparse distribution of highly specialized cells known as chondrocytes. These are are embedded in a matrix to provide articular cartilage withwonderful mechanical properties. Chondrocytes make up the tissue matrix macromolecular framework from three classes of molecules known as collagens, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins. The Chondrocytes protect the cells from being damaged as a result of normal joint use, they determine the types and concentrations of molecules reaching the cells, acts as a mechanical signal transducer for the cells, and helps maintain the chondrocyte phenotype. Articular cartilage undergoes internal remodeling Throughout life as cells replace matrix macromolecules lost as a result of degradation. Aging decreases the ability of chondrocytes become less able to maintain and restore articular cartilage leading to an increase in the risk of degeneration of the articular cartilage surface. Progressive degeneration of articular cartilage leads to joint pain and dysfunction. This situation is clinically identified as osteoarthritis. Investigation regarding the pathogenesis of post traumatic osteoarthritis, the form of osteoarthritis that develops following joint injury, is helping to explain the development and progression of joint degeneration.
