Anatomical movement - terms & medical information martinshaji
Anatomical terms of movement are used to describe the actions of the skeleton muscles. Muscles contracted to produce joint movement and subsequent movements can be precisely described using the following terminology.
As for the anatomical location, the terms used assume that the body starts in an anatomical position. Most of the movements have an opposite movement, otherwise known as an antagonistic movement. The terms are described herein as antagonistic pairs for ease of understanding.

A joint is the site at which any two or more bones articulate or come together, meaning the ends or edges of the bones are held together by connective tissues.
It may allow flexibility and movement of the skeleton.
With the exception of the Hyoid bone, every bone in the body is connected to or form joints.
There are total 230 joints in the body.
Structural Classification of joints:
FIBROUS JOINT/ FIXED JOINT
CARTILAGENOUS JOINTS
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility found between the adjacent bones.
Joints are thus functionally classified as a
Synarthrosis or immobile joint,
Amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint,
Diarthrosis, which is a freely moveable joint

Isoenzymes (or isozymes) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the same reaction but have different enzyme forms and catalytic efficiencies. Isozymes are usually distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities.
An enzyme is a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein. It speeds up the rate of a specific chemical reaction in the cell. The enzyme is not destroyed during the reaction and is used over and over.
A complete cholesterol test — also called a lipid panel or lipid profile — is a blood test that can measure the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease.
Lipid metabolism entails the oxidation of fatty acids to either generate energy or synthesize new lipids from smaller constituent molecules. Lipid metabolism is associated with carbohydrate metabolism,
LIPIDS-Digestion and absorption of Lipids.pptxABHIJIT BHOYAR
The digestion of lipids begins in the oral cavity through exposure to lingual lipases, which are secreted by glands in the tongue to begin the process of digesting triglycerides.
The term essential fatty acids (EFA) refers to those polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that must be provided by foods because these cannot be synthesized in the body yet are necessary for health
Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
6. FIBROUS JOINTS
• Fibrous joints are defined as the joints in which the bones are
connected by fibrous tissue.
• They are called fixed or immovable joints as they do not allow
any movement between the bones.
• They do not have a joint cavity, and the fibrous tissue which
connects the bones is made up of collage fibres.
7. These can be grouped in the following
three subtype
1. Sutures are immobile
joints in the cranium. The
plate-like bones of the
skull are slightly mobile at
birth because of the
connective tissue between
them, termed fontanelles.
8. Conti..
• This initial flexibility allows the infant’s head to get through
the birth canal at delivery and permits the enlargement of the
brain after birth.
• As the skull enlarges, the fontanelles reduce to a narrow layer
of fibrous connective tissue that suture the bony plates
together. Eventually, cranial sutures ossify- the two adjacent
plates fuse to form one bone (termed synostosis).
9. 2. Gomphoses
. Gomphoses are the immobile
joints between the teeth and
their sockets in the mandible
and maxillae. The periodontal
ligament is the fibrous tissue
that connects the tooth to the
socket.
10. Syndesmoses
3. Syndesmoses are slightly movable
joints (amphiarthroses). In
syndesmosis joints, the two bones
are held together by an interosseous
membrane. Eg Middle Tibiofibular
Joint, a fibrous joint formed by the
interosseus membrane connecting
the shafts of the tibia and the fibula
11. Cartilaginous joints
• Cartilaginous joints are a type of joint
where the bones are entirely joined by
cartilage, either hyaline cartilage or
fibrocartilage.
• These joints generally allow more
movement than fibrous joints but less
movement than synovial joints.
12. 1.Primary cartilaginous joints
• Primary cartilaginous joints: These cartilaginous joints are
composed entirely of hyaline cartilage and are known as
synchondroses. Most exist between ossification centres of
developing bones and are absent in the mature skeleton, but a
few persist in adults. eg First Sternocostal Joint, between
first rib and manubrium (all other sternocostal joints are plane
synovial joints); Growth plates.
13. 2. secondary cartilaginous joint
• The secondary cartilaginous joint,
also known as symphysis, may
involve either hyaline or
fibrocartilage. These joints are
slightly mobile (amphiarthroses). eg
The pubic symphysis: Intervertebral
discs
14. Synovial joint
• The primary purpose of the synovial joint is to prevent friction
between the articulating bones of the joint cavity.
• While all synovial joints are diarthroses, the extent of
movement varies among different subtypes and is often limited
by the ligaments that connect the bones.
• Nearly all joints of the limbs and most joints of the body fall
into this class
15. Synovial joints are the most common
type of joint in the body
• These joints are
termed diarthroses,
meaning they are
freely mobile.
16. Conti..
• A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint that is not
seen at fibrous or cartilaginous joints is the presence of a joint
cavity.
• The joint cavity contains synovial fluid, secreted by the
synovial membrane (synovium), which lines the articular
capsule.
• This fluid-filled space is the site at which the articulating
surfaces of the bones contact each other.
17. Conti..
• Hyaline cartilage forms the articular cartilage, covering the
entire articulating surface of each bone.
• The articular cartilage and the synovial membrane are
continuous. A few synovial joints of the body have a
fibrocartilage structure located between the articulating bones.
• This is called an articular disc, which is generally small and
oval-shaped, or a meniscus, which is larger and C-shaped.
18. • Synovial joints are often further classified by the type of
movements they permit.
• There are six such classifications: hinge (elbow), saddle
(carpometacarpal joint), planar (acromioclavicular joint), pivot
(atlantoaxial joint), condyloid (metacarpophalangeal joint),
and ball and socket (hip joint).
20. Features of all Synovial Joints
• Articular capsule with synovial membrane
• Synovial cavity containing synovial fluid
• Hyaline articular cartilage: acts like a Teflon coating over the
bone surface, allowing the articulating bones to move
smoothly against each other without damaging the underlying
bone tissue.
21. Additional features within some
Synovial Joints
• Fibrocartilage structure located between the articulating bones:
Articular disc, which is generally small and oval-shaped, or a
Meniscus, which is larger and C-shaped. These structures can
serve several functions, depending on the specific joint. Can
serve to smooth the movements between the articulating bones
eg at the temporomandibular joint.
• Intrinsic ligament: fused to or incorporated into the wall of the
articular capsule
22. • Intracapsular ligament: located inside of the articular capsule.
• Intra-capsular tendons eg. popliteus tendon within the knee
joint
• Intra-articular tendons eg. long head of biceps tendon within
the shoulder joint
23. • Knee joint. In a Synovial joint, the ends of bones are encased in smooth
cartilage. Together, they are protected by a joint capsule lined with a
synovial membrane that produces synovial fluid. The capsule and fluid
protect the cartilage, muscles, and connective tissues.
24. The six types of synovial joints are:
1. Plane Joints: Multiaxial joint, the
articular surfaces are essentially flat,
and they allow only short nonaxial
gliding movements. Examples are the
gliding joints introduced earlier—the
intercarpal and intertarsal joints, and
the joints between vertebral articular
processes. Gliding does not involve
rotation around any axis, and gliding
joints are the only examples of nonaxial
plane joints
25. Hinge Joints: Uniaxial Joint, the
cylindrical end of one bone
conforms to a trough-shaped surface
on another.
Uniaxial hinge joints
permit flexion and
extension only, typified
by bending and
straightening the elbow
and interphalangeal
joints.
2
26. 3. Pivot Joints: Uniaxial Joint, the
rounded end of one bone conforms
to a “sleeve” ring composed of
bone of another. The only
movement allowed is uniaxial
rotation of one bone around its
own long axis. An example is the
joint between the atlas and dens of
the axis, which allows you to
move your head from side to side
to indicate “no.” Another is the
proximal radioulnar joint, where
the head of the radius rotates
within a ringlike ligament secured
to the ulna.
28. The examples of saddle
joints in the body are the
carpometacarpal joints of
the thumbs.
5.
Movements allowed by
these joints are clearly
demonstrated by
twiddling your thumbs.
29. These joints are multiaxial and the most
freely moving synovial joints.
6..
30. Nerve supply of synovial joint
• Sensory and autonomic fibers innervate synovial joints:
• The autonomic nerves are vasomotor in function,
controlling the dilation or constriction of blood vessels.
• The sensory nerves of the articular capsule
and ligaments (articular nerves)
provide proprioceptive feedback from Ruffini endings
and Pacinian corpuscles. Proprioception of the joint
permits reflex control of posture, locomotion, and
movement. Free nerve endings convey pain sensation that
is diffuse and poorly localized. The articular cartilage has
no nerve supply.
31. Blood Supply
• Synovial joints receive vascular
supply through a rich anastomosis
of arteries extending from either
side of the joint ie the
periarticular plexus. Some vessels
penetrate the fibrous capsule to
form a rich plexus deeper in the
synovial membrane.
32. Clinical Anatomy
• Arthritis – inflammation that causes stiffness and pain in the
joints eg rheumatoid arthritis or gout, or degeneration
(osteoarthritis)
• Bursitis – inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs that
cushion and pad bones)
• Tendonitis – inflammation, irritation and swelling of a tendon
that is attached to the joint.
• Injury – including strain or sprain of a ligament or
nearby tendon or muscle, or bone fracture
