Study Notes

Rheumatoid arthritis affects three times as many women as men, causing stiffness and swelling in multiple joints.
Major types of arthritis include rheumatoid, septic, and osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis results from wear and tear due to injury, obesity, and aging.
Gout, characterized by severe joint pain (especially in the big toe), can be triggered by excessive protein intake.

Bone Conditions

Osteomyelitis is a bone infection often caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Osteoporosis leads to weakened bones and is most common in postmenopausal women with calcium deficiencies.
Osteomalacia indicates the softening of bones due to vitamin D deficiency.
Plantar fasciitis is caused by repetitive stress to the heel, affecting the connective tissue in the foot.

Joints and Body Structure

Joints allow for mobility; ball-and-socket joints (like hips and shoulders) provide the widest range of movement.
An open fracture is also known as a compound fracture.
The human skeleton is divided into axial (spinal column and middle ear bones) and appendicular divisions (bones of limbs).

Vertebrae and Cellular Elements

There are seven cervical vertebrae in the neck region.
Osteocytes are mature bone cells, while osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation.

Injury and Recovery

Symptoms of osteoarthritis include painful swelling and joint deformation.
Cruciate ligament tears are common sports injuries due to twists or blows while weight-bearing.
Seek medical attention if pain persists beyond ten days after an injury.

Congenital Disorders

Congenital disorders can include conditions like cleft palate and scoliosis, which are present at birth.

Miscellaneous

Inversion refers to turning the foot inward, while abduction is moving a limb away from the body's midline.
Tendonitis represents inflammation of a tendon, commonly affecting athletes.
