NSE 13A/B Chapter Notes - Chapter 24: Anterior Superior Iliac Spine, Posterior Superior Iliac Spine, Hip Fracture
Document Summary
Weekly objectives: self-review anatomy and physiology (know landmarks and bony prominences) Bones and cartilage are both types of connective tissues. Nonsynovial joint bones connected by fibrous tissue or cartilage (immovable like sutures or partially movable like between vertebrae discs) Synovial joints freely moveable; joint cavity enclosing synovial fluid is between bones, their surfaces are covered by a layer of cartilage. Joints are supported by ligaments bone to bone help reduce friction, along with bursa. Rom movements: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, pronation, supination, circumduction. Inversion: eversion, rotation, protraction, retraction, elevation, depression. Temporomandibular joint where temporal and mandible meet, assists with speech and mastification, produces 3 movements: hinge open and closing jaw, gliding protrusion and retraction of jaw, gliding side-to-side movement produced by lower jaw. 33 vertebral disc total; spinous process felt down length of spine. 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 3-1 coccygeal vertebrae.
