A) How would you classify the joints between the bodies of the vertebrae based on
movement? [freely movable, partially movable or immovable]
B) How would you classify them based on type of tissue intervening between the

Watch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/hipreplace) to observe hip replacement surgery (total hip arthroplasty), which can be used to alleviate the pain and loss of joint mobility associated with osteoarthritis of the hip joint. What is the most common cause of hip disability?
Read the statement below and then answer these questions: 1) What condition may cause this abnormal curvature of the trunk? In what division of the skeleton was Kathy's problem located?, 2) What are the signs for this condition and do they match her observations?
Kathy is a dance student in the theatrical department in a local college, and a recent assignment called for videotaping a number of their routines which led her to startling discovery about her posture. As she replayed the tape Kathy noticed that her hips and shoulders seemed awkwardly unbalanced, even when she was standing still.
