Medical System

Joints- Joints are also called articulations, points where bones connect. The movement at a particular joint varies depending on the body s needs. Joints are described by the material they are made of and the type of movement they allow. Joints and muscles allow the parts of the body to move in specific ways.

.Diarthroses- are joints that move freely, such as the knee joint.

.Amphiarthroses- are cartilaginous joints that move slightly, such as the joints between vertebrae.

.Synarthroses -are joints that do not move. Examples are the fibrous joints between the skull bones.

.Symphyses- are cartilaginous joints that unite two bones firmly. An example is the pubic symphysis.

.Ball-and-socket- joints are set up like a ball sitting in a socket. For example, the hip and shoulder joints.

.A hinge -joint moves as though swinging like a hinge. For example, the elbow or knee.

Bones are connected to other bones with ligaments, bands of fibrous tissue. tendons are bands of fibrous tissue that connect muscles to bone. Movement takes place at the joints using the muscles ligaments and tendons. Synovia are covered with synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid, a jint lubricanr and which helps the joints move easily. The hip joint is an example of a synovial joint. Some spaces between tendons and noints habe a bursa a sac lined with a synovial membrane.Bursae help the movement of hands and feet

Body Movement- Bones, joints, and muscles allow parts of the body to move in certain directions.

To determine if movement can be done correctly, medical practitioners in a variety of fields look at the range of motion of the parts of the body. Position of the body involves placement in certain positions

Flexion the bending of a limb.

Extension the straightening of a limb.

Rotation the circular movement of a part, such as the neck.

Abduction movement away from the body.

Adduction movement toward the body.

Supination a turning up, as of the hand.

Pronation a turning down, as of the hand.

Dorsiflexion a bending up, as of the ankle.

Plantar flexion a bending down, as of the ankle

Muscles- contract and extend to provide body movement. Most muscles are covered by fascia, a band of connective tissue that supports and covers the muscle. Muscles attach to a stationary bone at a point called the origin. They attach to a movable bone at a point called the insertion. During movement, the muscle contracts and extends and the moveable bone moves in a specific direction. Different muscles have different functions. For example, the deltoid muscles are used to extend the arms, the biceps of the arm flex the forearms, and the masticatory muscles close and open the jaw for chewing.

.The involuntary (smooth or visceral) muscles control movement that is not controlled by will, such as respiration, urination, and digestion. Involuntary muscles move the internal organs and systems, such as the digestive system and the blood. Cardiac muscle, which controls the contractions of the heart, is the only involuntary muscle that is also striated, or ribbed.

. Voluntary Muscles-The voluntary (striated) muscles can be contracted at will. These muscles are called skeletal muscles, as they are responsible for the movement of all skeletal bones, including facial bones, such as the mandible.

Musculoskeletal System Specialists

The musculoskeletal system is often the site of pain caused by conditions in the system itself or by symptoms of other systemic conditions. Medical specialists in the musculoskeletal system include

. Orthopedists or Orthopedic Surgeons-

Orthopedists or orthopedic surgeons are physicians who treat disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

. Osteopaths

Osteopaths are physicians who combine manipulative procedures with conventional treatment.

.Rheumatologists are physicians who treat disorders of the joints, specifically, and of the musculoskeletal system generally.

. Podiatrists

Podiatrists are medical specialists who treat disorders of the foot.

. Chiropractors

Chiropractors are health care professionals who manipulate the spine to treat certain ailments.

* Diagnosing Bone and Muscle Ailments*

Diagnosing bone and muscle ailments often involves taking x-rays, scans, or radiographs or performing internal examinations to determine if an abnormality is present. These procedures include:

(When a patient has to do a x-ray what the procedure and what they do)

. Arthrography- is the examination of joints using radiography.

.Arthroscopy- is the examination of a joint internally using a lighted instrument capable of direct viewing, cutting, irrigation, obtaining biopsy material, and more, through a small incision.

.Diskography- is the examination of disks by injecting a contrast medium and using radiography.

. Computed tomography (CT) -scans can reveal joint, bone, or connective tissue disease.

. Myelography- is the use of radiography of the spinal cord to identify spinal cord conditions.

.An electromyogram- is a graphic image of the electrical activity of muscles.

.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to detect disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially of soft tissue.

.A bone scan is used to detect tumors

(another test that you can use is called Diagnostic test)

Diagnostic Test

. Examiniation-Physicians examine bones and joints externally, often using small rubber mallets to provoke responses.

Example: Tinel s sign is a pins and needles sensation felt when an injured nerve site is tapped. The sign indicates a partial lesion in a nerve and is a common test for carpel tunnel syndrome.
