Synovial joints are movable joints and is the most commonly found joints in the human body. It is also called as diarthrosis. The synovial joint constitutes a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid. The articulating bone surfaces have an articular cartilage that allows smooth mobility of the bones. Synovial joints have various axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is an imaginary line that projects through the pivot in a joint. Movements around an axis of rotation can occur in either sagittal, frontal, or transverse plane of motion. The rotation of joints is classified into: (i) Uniaxial joints which rotates in one axis and one plane. It allows forward-backward movement in the sagittal plane; (ii) Biaxial joints can rotate in two axes and in two planes. It allows side-to-side movement in the frontal plane and forward-backward movement in the sagittal plane; (iii) Multiaxial joints rotate in three axes and three planes. It allows forward-backward movement in the sagittal plane, side-to-side movement in the frontal plane and internal-external rotation in the transverse plane.

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Synovial joints are movable joints and is the most commonly found joints in the human body. It is also called as diarthrosis. The synovial joint constitutes a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid. The articulating bone surfaces have an articular cartilage that allows smooth mobility of the bones.

Synovial joints have various axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is an imaginary line that projects through the pivot in a joint. Movements around an axis of rotation can occur in either sagittal, frontal, or transverse plane of motion.

The rotation of joints is classified into: (i) Uniaxial joints which rotates in one axis and one plane. It allows forward-backward movement in the sagittal plane; (ii) Biaxial joints can rotate in two axes and in two planes. It allows side-to-side movement in the frontal plane and forward-backward movement in the sagittal plane; (iii) Multiaxial joints rotate in three axes and three planes. It allows forward-backward movement in the sagittal plane, side-to-side movement in the frontal plane and internal-external rotation in the transverse plane.

Assuming that a flash of darkness is an effective zeitgeber, what impact on circadian rhythms would you expect to result from an event such as the 2024 solar eclipse (assume it was viewed from Carbondale IL, where totality occurred at about 2 pm)? Explain your reasoning. You may wish to consult this phase response diagram. Phase Shift (Hours) Delay Zone Advance Zone Dawn Mid-day Dusk Night Dawn Time of Light Stimulus e. Finally, give a real-world example of how knowledge of circadian rhythms and entrainment has implications for human health and wellbeing or conservation biology. This example could be from your reading or from things discussed in class.
