Document Summary

1st tissue a ected is synovial membrane goes around joint capsule type a - move bacteria type b cell- lubricated secretion ; allows joint to move freely eventually spreads to: articular cartilage. Brous joint capsule surrounding ligaments & tendons sources of pain: synovial membrane, joint capsule, ligaments, tendons cartilage isn"t painful. Rheumatoid arthritis: epidemiology: u. s. prevalence among adults ~ 10/1,000. 1% in 2015, there were 30,00 canadians with ra corresponding to a cumulative prevalence of. 0. 9: age and sex standardized ra prevalence increased steadily over time. Rheumatoid arthritis: etiology: may be a response to infectious agent in a genetically susceptible host. Pathology of ra: overview: an unknown cause initiates immune response. In ammation, pannus & ankylosis in amed synovium causes hemorrhage and coagulation. Brin deposition on synovial membrane proliferative synovitis: with ra joints become fused. Fibrin develops into granulation tissue called pannus, which ultimately becomes scar tissue.
