What are Vertebrae held together by?
The anterior intervertebral joints are secondary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) which are designed for strength and weight bearing.
What is a painful degeneration of movable joints caused by attacks on the joint cells of the immune system?
That is the description of rheumatoid arthritis.
What are the different types of diarthrotic joints?
Diarthrotic joints have free movement e.g. synovial joints of knee, elbow, shoulder synarthrotic = no movement eg skull plates (yes they are a type of joint strangely enough) amphiarthrotic = some movement eg intervertebral discs
What do cartilaginous joints do?
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).[1] Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. An example would be the joint between the manubrium and the sternum. Cartilaginous joints also form the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.
Why is an intervertebral disc not present between C1 and C2?
yes. the atlas and axis, or C1 and C2, do not have an intervertebral disc, nor an intervertebral foramen, between them. C1 looks like an oval. it has two lateral masses (no vertebral body) where it makes contact with the occiput and C2. the inferior articular facets of the C1 and the superior articular facets of C2 form 2 joints, one on each side. there is also a third joint formed by the dens, or odontoid process, of C2 and the interior of the anterior arch of C1. this is the joint you use to shake your head "no".
Examples of moveable joints?
pubic symphysis and the intervertebral joints
What is the medical term meaning the joints between adjacent vertebrae?
The facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae.
What are Vertebrae held together by?
The anterior intervertebral joints are secondary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) which are designed for strength and weight bearing.
Are intervertebral joints amphiarthrosis diarthrosis or synarthrosis?
Amphiarthroses
What is mild hypertrophic degenerative?
Mild hypertrophic degeneration refers to a degeneration of the facet joints in the spine. Facet joints help support the spine and give it flexibility.
What kind of joints are intervertebral joints between articular processes?
The joints between the articular processes of the spinal collumn are synovial joints of the plane variety they are often known as Facet joints.
What provides the flexability to the vertebral column?
There are cartilaginous joints between the vertebrae composed of the intervertebral disc
What joints are affected most frequently by contracture?
name the joints affected most frequently by contractes
What joints mostly used frequently used joints in your body?
The most frequently used is probably the jaw.
What is uncovertebral arthrosis?
Uncovertebral arthritis is a form of osteoarthritis. It affects the uncovertebral joints, or Luschka's joints. This condition also affects the intervertebral discs between the vertebra.
What is Tricompartmental Degenerative changes in knees?
Tricompartmental degenerative changes in knees is caused by age related degeneration in the joints. This is many times caused by a reduction in the amount of fluid that is between the bones and the tissues.
What is Degenerative facet joint changes?
Facet joints are the joints which connect the vertebrae to one another. Degeneration of the facet joints is commonly caused by arthritis and is a cause of pain and loss of mobility.
