Abstract:
This essay elucidates the socio-cultural context in which the Hippocratic work Prorrhetic 2 was produced. It focuses on the interaction of epideictic, didactic, and polemic modes discernible in the text, reading these as effects of its primary social function. The text draws the reader's attention to the subject-position its author occupies within the practice of medical prognosis and tries to persuade the reader, imagined as a potential pupil, to adopt this same position. The text was produced amid the intense competition waged by teachers for students that attended the increasing specialization of knowledge in the first half of the fourth century BCE. Prorrhetic 2 is a protreptic essay, defining the proper parameters of a given technê and its author's place within it in order to persuade the reader of the superiority of his approach to the object of study.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
