Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints01:03

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

1.9K
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Tight Junctions01:29

Tight Junctions

5.2K
Tight junctions are molecular seals between cells that prevent the leaking of fluids, ions, and other small solutes across cavities and compartments in multicellular organisms. They are mainly composed of claudin and occludin transmembrane proteins, and other proteins such as tricellulin and JAM (junctional adhesion molecule). All these proteins are 4-pass transmembrane proteins, except JAM, which is a single-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The...

Joints

32.5K
Joints, also called articulations or articular surfaces, are points at which ligaments or other tissues connect adjacent bones. Joints permit movement and stability, and can be classified based on their structure or function.
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

327
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints01:17

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

2.1K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

858
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are a frequent cause of patient visits to primary care settings.
  • Symptoms can be acute or chronic, significantly impacting daily life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the common symptoms and physical examination findings associated with TMD.
  • To discuss the range of treatment options available for TMD patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common patient complaints including joint pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement.
  • Physical examination techniques to identify muscle tenderness, joint sounds, and dental issues like malocclusion.

Main Results:

  • TMD symptoms are diverse, encompassing pain, clicking, difficulty with function, headaches, and tinnitus.
  • Physical findings may include pterygoid muscle tenderness, joint sounds, enamel wear, and malocclusion.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of TMD cases are effectively managed with conservative therapeutic approaches.
  • A subset of patients with TMD may necessitate more invasive treatment modalities for symptom relief.
