Summary Introduction

To determine:

The way in which joints are classified.

Introduction:

Joints are the structures in the body that help in the movement of the bones. They help humans in locomotion. There are various types of joints on the basis of their structure and functions. They can also be classified on the basis of the type of tissue that binds the bones at the joints.

Explanation of Solution

The ways in which joints are classified are the structural basis and the functional basis. They are elaborated as follows.

On the basis of structure, joints can be fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, and the structural joints. Fibrous joints are the joints that are formed of collagen fibers. They are again subdivided into three sub-types which are syndesmosis, sutures, and gomphosis.

Cartilaginous joints are those joints that are formed of cartilage. They are of two types:synchondrosis and symphysis.

Synovial joints are those joints that allow the free movement of the constituting bones. They are more complex than the other two structural joints. They are made up of angular cartilage, joint capsule, and a synovial membrane.

On the basis of function, there are three types of joints. They are as follows:

  • Synarthrosis:

    These are those types of joints that provide no or very little movements. They are mostly fibrous in nature.

  • Amphiarthrosis:

    These are those joints that provide little mobility or movement. They are mostly cartilaginous joints.

  • Diarthrosis:

    These joints provide free movement. They are also called the synovial joints like the hinge joints, pivot joints, and some other joints.

Conclusion

There are other ways in which joints are classified as well. They are:the clinical and the numerical classification, biomechanical classification and the anatomical classification.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
