What is a shortened distance between bone is called?
In normal anatomy, flexion is the movement that decreases the angle between the bones that form a joint. A pathological decrease within the joint of the distance between two bones may be termed a "loss of joint space."
What part of a skeleton system allow bones to move?
The ribs expand so that we can breathe. When the ribs expand, the volume of the pleural space increases and the lower pressure brings in air.
What are the functions of joint cavity?
The Joint Cavity is the space or scientifically a 'potential' space filled with synovial fluid. The function of this fuild is to reduce friction by lubricationg the joint.
What is a intra-articular extension?
An intraartucular extension is a type of fracture that protrudes into the articulating joint space. Simply, it is a fracture that involves the joint space.
What is the space between bone?
It is called the articular surface."Articulate" is to make contact between two or more bones.The surfaces of the bones would be covered by hyaline cartilage.
What are the differences between the fetal skull and adult skull?
the calvarium of the adult scull is fused, in the fetus the bones making up the skull are not fused (not joined together), also the're actually quiet a lot of space around the bones - called fontanelles or "soft spots" on a baby's head that you can feel on the back of the head in many babies until 6-9 months or so and on the front of many babies until 15-18 months or so.

When tendons become inflamed and get caught in the narrow space between the bones within the shoulder joint is called?
Inpingement Syndrome

There are advanced degenerative changes at the patellofemoral joint with narrowing of the joint space and marginal osteophyte formation?
That sounds like the cartilage in the joint of the knee has worn to a point where the bones have touched forming more bone in an attempt to repair the damage This leads, pain, stiffness and continued damage to the joint.
What is the name of two kind of joints?
There are primarily three kinds of joints:FIBROUS = articulating bones are held closely together by fibrous connective tissueCARTILAGINOUS = articulating bones are held closely together by cartilageSYNOVIAL = joint where there a space between the articulating bones which is filled with synovial fluid
What is a fracture dislocation?
Normally your bones are kept together at the ends by muscles and joints. If you get injured you might dislocate a shoulder, meaning that your two bones meeting at a joint get slightly separated. As a result your shoulder looks crazy, it hurts and you can barely move it.A dislocation is when a joint comes out of the space that is is supposed to occupy, like a dislocated shoulder or hip.
What is the space between infused cranial bones in a infant?
space

What does tibio-femoral and patellofemoral joint spaces are preserved mean?
If a joint space is preserved, it means the space is normal and not showing signs of arthritis. In your case, the joint spaces in the knee were found to be normal.
What is the popping when you get a chiropractic adjustment?
After most chiropractic adjustments you will hear a pop or crack sound. Chiropractors often refer to this sound as an "audible" or a "cavitation." The sound is actually the formation of gaseous bubbles in the joint space. This occurs because the joint-space is an enclosed, fluid-filled space and when an adjustment is performed often that space is opened, such that the volume is increased. Laws of physics teach us that pressure and volume are inversely related (see ideal gas law PV=nRT), therefore an increase in volume will result in a decrease in pressure. This is called negative pressure and results in the portion of the fluid turning into gas bubbles. When this occurs an audible "POP" is heard. It is a common misnomer that either a bone is "popping back into place" or that bones are hitting bones, this is not the case. The sound after a chiropractic adjustment is NOT bones hitting bones, it is just a reaction within the fluid of the joint space responding to decreased intraarticular pressure.
