Summary Introduction

To review:

Synarthrosis, syndesmosis, and synchondrosis and which of them is the functional classification of the joints.

Introduction:

Joint is the connection between two bones in the body that links the skeletal system into the function group. Some joints are moveable and allow the movement at different degrees whereas, some are immovable. Joints are mainly categorized into synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous joints. The skeletal system provides mechanical support to the internal parts of the body and it also maintains the posture of the body.

Explanation of Solution

Synarthrosis joint is the type of joint that is immovable in nature. This joint gives a strong connection between adjacent bones and protects the internal structures such as the heart and the brain. A syndesmosis is a fibrous joint present between the bones and lined by the ligaments.

Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint and it is a immovable joint that is present between two bones. Synchondrosis joint is present in the spinal vertebrae.

The joints are classified on the basis of structures and functions. The structural classification of the joints includes synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous joints whereas, the functional classification of the joints includes synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and diarthroses.

A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.

With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobin
