1. Tarsals (7 ankle bones)
A. talus – bone just below the tibia and fibula.
1. the only tarsal bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula.
2. It initially bears the weight of the entire body when walking.

2. More ankle bones B. Calcaneus – heel bone
1. largest and strongest of the tarsals
2. half the weight is transferred to it from the talus when walking.

16. Arches of the foot: Functions of the arches:
Support the weight of the body
Distribute body weight over the parts of the foot
Provide leverage when walking
Absorb shocks by giving when weight is applied and springing back afterwards

17. Types of arches
Longitudinal arches – extends front to back of the foot (medial and lateral)
Transverse arch – formed by the navicular, cuneiforms and bases of the metatarsals
Flatfoot – abnormally low height of the medial longitudinal arch.

19. Male vs. Female skeletons
Bone differences
Male bones are larger and heavier than female bones
Male points of muscle attachment (tuberosities, lines and ridges) are larger.

20. Male vs. female skeleton
Structural differences
Female pelvis is wider and shallower than the male pelvis.
Pelvic inlet of the female is larger and more oval while the male is smaller and heart-shaped.

23. Male vs. Female skeleton
Acetabulum of the female is small and faces anteriorly, the male’s is large and faces laterally.
Obturator foramen in female is oval and the male is round.

25. Male vs. Female skeleton
Pubic arch in the female is greater than a 90 degree angle and male is less.
Differences exist due to pregnancy and childbirth to accommodate the growing baby and aid delivery through the pelvic bones.

28. Bunion – a deformity of the big toe caused by wearing shoes that are too tight.

30. Arthrology – The study of joints.
Articulation = A joint (A point of contact between bones, cartilage and bone or teeth and bone.) 
Kinesiology = The study of movement of the human body.
Rheumatology = The field of medicine involved with joint diseases and related conditions.

31. I. Types of joints A. The structure of a joint determines its function
based on how strong its connection is
and how flexible it is.

32. 1.The closer the bones are together,
the stronger the joint is.
But this also limits movement.

33. 2. The flexibility is determined by the shape of the articulating bones,
how tight the ligaments are that hold the bones together
and the tension of the muscles and tendons.

34. 3 types of joints: Synovial, fibrous and cartilaginous
1. Synovial joints –
bones have a space between them called the synovial cavity
which is surrounded by the articular capsule.

35. They are the most movable joints and allow several types of movement.
Most joints are of this type.
Ex. Knee, fingers, hips, shoulder, skull on the atlas and axis, wrist and ankles, etc.
They allow several types of movement.

36. 1. The synovial joint parts:
a. Fibrous capsule of dense irregular connective tissue that attaches to the periosteum of the bone.
b. Ligaments extend from the fibrous capsule to connect the bones of the joint to each other.

38. c. Synovial membrane lines the inside of the articular capsule. d
c. Synovial membrane lines the inside of the articular capsule. d. Synovial fluid fills the inside of the articular capsule. (similar to uncooked egg white in consistency).

39. It becomes more gel-like with inactivity
and thins as movement increases
which is why a warm-up is important before exercise.

40. The articular capsule is made of the fibrous capsule and the synovial membrane together.

42. Chew…
Draw and label a synovial joint using your white board.

44. 3. Articular discs or menisci –
pads of fibrocartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of the bones and are attached to the capsule.
They allow bones of different shapes to fit together more tightly.

45. 4. “Torn cartilage” = tearing of the articular discs in the knee
4. “Torn cartilage” = tearing of the articular discs in the knee. Common among athletes.
5. Bursae – Sacs found some synovial joints such as knees and shoulders
to reduce friction.

46. a. Bursitis – inflammation of the bursa
a. Bursitis – inflammation of the bursa due to trama, infection or excessive use.
6. Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of the bones of a synovial joint to reduce friction.

47. Chew… Discuss bursa, meniscus and their roles in joints.
Explain bursitis and torn cartilage.

48. C. Fibrous joints – bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue
rich in collagen and there is
no synovial cavity between the bones.
Little or no movement.

49. Example of fibrous joints:
1. Sutures between the skull bones
2. The distal articulation between the fibula and tibia.
3. The roots of the teeth in the alveoli of the maxilla and mandible.

50. Figure 7.01 Fibrous Joints

51. D. Cartilaginous joints –
Bones are held together by cartilage and lack a synovial cavity.
Little or no movement.

52. Examples of cartilaginous joints:
Epiphyseal plate between the diaphysis and epiphysis of a bone.
When it becomes an epiphyseal line is has ossified into bone instead of cartilage.
2. Pubic symphysis between the coxal bones of the pelvis.

53. Chew…. On your white board: List 3 types of joints.
List major features of each.
List examples of each.

54. Common joint disorders
Rotator cuff injury – tears the supraspinous muscle tendon between the head of the humerus and the acromion of the scapula.
Common in baseball pitchers and volleyball players.

55. More common disorders
Separated shoulder – injury of the joint between the acromion and the end of the clavicle.
Often caused by the shoulder striking the ground in a fall.

56. More common disorders
Dislocation of the radial head – pulled away from the humerus.
Common in children from swinging them around by the arms.

57. More common disorders
ACL injury – injury of the anterior cruciate ligament which connects the tibia and femur posteriorly and laterally.
It is stretched or torn in 70% of serious knee injuries.

59. Chew…. Describe: Rotator cuff injury Separated shoulder
Dislocated radius
ACL injury

60. More common disorders
Sprain – stretches or tears ligaments but does not dislocate the bones.
Strain – partially torn muscle.

61. More common disorders
Rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own cartilage and joint linings.
Osteoarthritis – deterioration of the articular cartilage of joints caused by wear and tear.
