Document Summary
Boyd movement depends on three systems working closely together. Help in calcium regulation, store calcium and release it. Pathological fractures: caused by weakened bone tissue. Bone marrow: helps with rbc production. Persons flexibility is called their rom, range of motion. For bones exposed to constant pressure: fibrous. Two bony surfaces are connected by a ligament or membrane. Little movement, unites body structures: synovial. Ligaments: white, flexible bands of fibrous tissue that bind joints together and connect bones and cartilages, allow flexibility and support. Tendons: white, fibrous bands of tissue that connects muscle to bone. Cartilage: non vascular, supports connective tissue with flexibility like hard plastic. Is an active process made of fibers that contract when they are stimulated. Awareness of the position of the body and its parts (heather & mccance, 2008) Posture is regulated by the nervous system. Body alignment: correct alignment is important to reduce strain, maintains muscle ton and contributes to balance.
