ArticulationsArticulations
An articulation is a place of union between two or more bones (i.e., a joint)
classified according to the manner or type of material by which the articulating bones are united
fibrous joints (united by fibrous tissue)cartilaginous joints (hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage)synovial joints (most common; fluid filled capsule)
NWCME 2003 - 4
united by fibrous tissue amount of movement depends on
fiber length
primary cartilaginous joints are usually temporary unions, such as those present during development of long bones (i.e., they permit growth in length)
secondary cartilaginous joints are strong, slightly moveable joints
1% of the world’s population is affected by RA, females 5X more often than males
principally attacks joints, but may affect many tissues and organs
exact cause is unknown, but RA is believed to be triggered by exposure of a susceptible host to an arthritogenic antigen leading to a continuing autoimmune reaction
