What is the connective tissue theory of aging?
Changes in the makeup of the connective tissue alter the stability of body structures, causing a loss of elasticity and functioning, and leading to symptoms of aging.
What is he main contributor to hip joint stability?
hip joint stability is due to: 1) ligaments that hold the joint.eg pubofemoral lig. 2) muscles around the joints. 3) atmospheric pressure due to the knee joint capsule. 4) congruence of head of femur to the accetabular fossa. they fit like a ball and socket. 5) accetabula lambria increases the depth of the accetabular fossa thus increases stability. 6) the weight of the body on the joint.
What is structural joint changes are common in older people?
well the joints in the human body expand in time and tissue gets between the bones and changes the body! this starts to happen when the person turns late 70's joints begin to degenerate. Adhesion may form between the surfaces where the bones join & extraneous bone tissue may grow along joint edges.
What type of tissue covers the interior and exterior body surfaces?
epithelial tissue covers the body.
Is there an ACL in the shoulder?
No. The ACL, Anterior Cruciate Ligament, is located in the knee. It helps maintain stability in the knee. The A/C (acromio-clavicular) joint, on the other hand, is one which connects the shoulder to the rest of the body.
What body tissue adds stability to knee joint?
synovial flud
Which joint has sacrificed stability to provide great freedom of movement?
In the shoulder joint, stability has been sacrificed to provide the most freely moving joint in the body. The articulating bones provide minimal joint stability because of the size and "fit" of the articulating surfaces. The major stabilizing forces are soft tissue, in particular the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles (via muscle tone).
Tissue that provides support for the body?
The tissue that provides support for the body is connective tissue. Connective tissue adds support and also structure to the human body. It contains fibrous strands of protein collagen. Examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, and cartilage.
What is the role of synovial joints in joint stability?
Ligaments and Muscle Tone provide stability to a joint. Ligaments prevent extreme movements that can cause damage. Muscle Tone makes sure the body is in proper alignment and provide better joint control
What is the connective tissue theory of aging?
Changes in the makeup of the connective tissue alter the stability of body structures, causing a loss of elasticity and functioning, and leading to symptoms of aging.
What does liagament mean?
tough tissue connecting body parts: a sheet or band of tough fibrous tissue that connects bones or cartilage at a joint or supports an organ, muscle, or other body part

Do you think it would be better if the body had only one type of joint that would allow movement in all directions such as a ball-and-socket joint?
No, there wouldn't be enough stability in certain joints such as the knee or elbow.
What connects bone and joint?
Bones form the frame of the body. They are connected at various types of joints and are held together by connective tissue.
What purpose do ligaments have in the body?
Ligaments are soft fibrous tissue which connect bone to bone. Their primary functions in the body are to determine a joint's range of motion and to protect joints and bones.
What Muscle tissue maintains posture body position and stabilizes joints?
Muscles stabilize joint by supporting the movement of the joints. Joint in the bones are not able to move alone. The muscles support weight from applying pressure to the joint which protects the joint from damage.
What are seven factors that affect body alignment and mobility?
line of gravity, centre of gravity, base of support, postural tonus, joint mobility, balance(stability), coordinated movement
