Ford’s expansion into the Chinese market through a joint venture with the Changan Auto Co. makes perfect strategic sense.

China had experienced the global recession of 2008-2009 with minimal losses unlike most Western markets such as the US and Europe.

Where two bones meet or link‚ it is called a joint or an articulation. Joints can be classified according to their structure and by the types of movement they allow. The body has more than 300 different joints. In the body there are three types of joints... Moveable/Synovial joints – Moveable joints allow for maximum movement. Moveable or synovial joints are normally found in the limbs‚ as we use these parts more than anything. Ligaments help to provide the stability of the bones‚ also the muscles

The Shoulder Joint The glenohumeral joint‚ or as it is more commonly referred to the shoulder joint ‚ is one of the most flexible and unstable joints in the body. As a ball and socket joint the shoulder allows circular motion and hinge movement. The rounded head or ‘ball’ of the humerus rests in the shallow dish shaped cavity or ‘socket’ created by the glenoid fossa of the scapula. This allows for a wide range of motion around several axes. There are two main bones that make up the shoulder

A joint is defined as a fracture in a rock between the sides of which there is no observable relative movement. They are present is most consolidated rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary origin. Joints may form as a result of either diastrophism or contraction. Description: (i) A series of parallel joints is called a ’joint set’. (ii) Two or more joint sets intersecting each other produce a ’joint system’. (iii) Two sets of joints nearly at right angles to one another‚ produced by the

Pivot joint: A rounded portion of a bone is enclosed within a ring formed partially by the articulation with another bone and partially by a ligament . The bone rotates within this ring. Since the rotation is around a single axis‚ pivot joints are functionally classified as a uniaxial diarthrosis type of joint. An example of a pivot joint is the atlantoaxial joint‚ found between the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae. Here‚ the upward projecting dens of the axis articulates with the inner aspect

Joints and Movements The Joints Definition: A joint (articulation) is point of contact between bones or between bone and cartilage. Joint Classifications Joints are classified by: The degree of movement they allow The structure of the joint The three types of joints that we will look at are: 1. Fibrous joints 2. Cartilaginous joints 3. Synovial joints Fibrous Joints These joints are also called "fixed" or "immoveable" joints‚ because they do not move. These joints have no joint cavity
