    The bone just underneath the cartilage in the synovial joint is called subchondral bone, and is found in various areas. The subchondral bone plate is the top area. This is made up of somewhat non-porous bone with a restricted blood supply. Underneath the bone plate, is a cushioned layer of bone called trabecular bone. In a healthy individual, bone is continually altered by modelling and resorption. This permits bone to repair and adjust to changing mechanical requirements. In a handful of individuals, the structure or properties of bone are altered by genetic disorders that can lead to an earlier commencement of osteoarthritis. In most individuals, the bone alterations in osteoarthritis are seen later on in life, and the causes aren’t fully recognised. Changes that define the features of…

    Anatomy of a Long Bone. The shaft, or the main portion of the bone, is called the diaphysis. The diaphysis has a large medullary cavity, whose walls are composed of compact bone. The medullary cavity is lined with a thin membrane called the endosteum and is filled with yellow bone marrow. The enlarged ends of a long bone are called the epiphyses. The epiphyses are composed largely of spongy bone that contains the red bone marrow. The epiphyses are covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage in the joints. Areas of the bone other than at the joints are covered with a layer of fibrous connective tissue called the periosteum.…

    They are comprised of compact connective tissue consisting of collagen fibers. The peritenon is a layer of loose connective tissue that wraps around the tendon. Large tendons have lymphatics and vessels that course between septa, and small tendons have almost no vascularity. Tendons can attach to tuberosities, processes, or ridges. Synovial sheaths are double walled cylinder shaped structures the surround some tendons. Small amounts of synovial fluid can be found within these sheaths to act as a lubricant for the moving tendons. Large tendons do not contain synovial fluid. Tendons appear hyperechoic to surrounding anatomy on ultrasound. Sonography can be performed on tendons of the shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, knee, foot and…

    • 3 Pages

    A synovial joint also known as diarthrosis, joins bones with a fibrous joint capsule. It is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bone articular capsule. The articular capsule keeps the bones together structurally, and an inner layer, the synovial membrane, which seals the synovial fluid. Synovial cavity all diarthroses have the characteristic spaces between the bones that is filled with synovial fluid. Joint capsule the fibrous capsule surrounds the diarthrosis and unites the articulating bones. The joint capsule consists of two layers. The outer fibrous membrane that contains ligaments and the inner synovial membrane that secretes the lubricating, shock absorbing,…

    The cartilage merges at its free edges with the internal synovial membrane lining of the joint cavity, containing a small amount of fluid known as the synovial fluid. The cartilage obtains nutritients from the synovial fluid. Synovial fluid plays the role of the shock absorber as it prevents friction between the bones.…
