The
A to Z of Bones,
Joints, Ligaments
together are forming a set covering the all structural elements of the human body.
Now as an adjunct to this book – the first in the series of the new The A to Z of…failure books is the The A to Z of Bone and Joint Failure, which builds upon the knowledge of the material in this book. Eventually there will be a companion book to each of the current and future A to Zs - the sick and the well.
So... If there is a structure / subject you want to see in the A to Zs let us know, as the feedback often determines the order of the new books. The A to Zs may be viewed on 2 sites –

How to use this book
The first section consists of the basic anatomical concepts, movement planes, classification and definitions of all terms discussed in this book. Additional images of articulated bones are included to help with regionalization, and colour tags added to the base of each page to remind the reader where the bone or joint is located.
Bones, Joints and Ligaments are then listed alphabetically and

JOINT is the GLENOHUMERAL JOINT and the COLLAR BONE is the CLAVICLE).
Each bone and joint is shown from at least 2 aspects. Throughout the book, bones or groups of bones are also shown “in situ”, or as an “overview” to relate them to the whole body structure, in other words as they lay in body or cavity
anatomically. For example the RIBS together form the RIB CAGE and anatomically this bony structure is the way the ribs function. There is a separate section at the back to discuss the BACK! And even the back cover has been modified so that there is an additional fold over which serves as a means of identifying the book on the shelf (i.e. the fold over has the title down the “spine”). Books can now be placed on the shelf and still identified. The fold over is also a fold in if not used as a book mark it can be folded in on itself and lays flat on the cover.

Arth- To do with joints hence… Arthritis Inflammation of a joint.
Arthropathy Diseases of the joints. Arthrosis Joint types.
Articulation Joint, description of the bone surfaces joining w/o the supporting structures = point of contact b/n 2 opposing bones hence the articulation of humerus and scapula is the articulation of the shoulder joint. Attrition Tooth wear and tear.
Auditory Pertaining to hearing, hence, pertaining to the ear. (Auditory exostosis = a bony growth on the walls of the External Auditory Meatus). Avulsion Forceable tearing away of a structure or part of a structure as in an

Structure of Bone Tissue
Bone is a tissue. It contains osteocytes (mature bone cells -1), osteoblasts (new bone cells -2), osteoclasts (resident monocytes) which may combine to form GIANT cells (3) to remodel bone which occurs constantly.
The tissue may be packaged as COMPACT bone = dense bone for major weight-bearing areas as in the Long bones or as CANCELLOUS bone = spongy bone = trabechular bone, which is present in the axial skeleton and at the heads of most Long bones.
The density of bone is changing all the time. It is one of the most dynamic tissues in the body constantly forming and reforming its structure. Its repair capacity is extensive, but changes in body demands, diet and disease states will affect its integrity.
Loss of bone = Osteoporosis
Excess deposition of bone = Osteopetrosis Deposition of bone in ectopic sites = Ossification
COMPACT BONE - A
It is surrounded by an outer fascial layer – Periosteum (4) and an inner fascial layer – Endostium (5) and has a central cavity filled with Bone Marrow (BM) – either filled with fat cells – YELLOW BM – or haemopoietic tissue (cells related to forming the blood and its component cells) – RED BM. The bone is laid down in circular layers or lamellae (6L) with a central core (6c) for the BS, called HAVERSION systems (7).
CANCELLOUS BONE - B
This consists of long trabeculae or spicules of bone laid along pressure lines surrounded by haemopoietic tissue – RED BM (8). It is highly mobile; the first to be mobilized for mineral needs or changing

Classification of Bones
Flat bones Thin flattened and usually curved bones: most Skull bones, Scapula, Manubrium generally surrounded by a layer of compact bone with cancellous or spongy bone in b/n.
Irregular bones Various shapes not easily classified Sphenoid, Vertebrae, Hip, Ear Bones irregular growth centres.
Long bones These bones are long with a shaft = diaphysis and 2 ends epiphyses. They have growth centres at each end and grow lengthwise over years via their growth plates at the metaphyses, e.g.: most limb bones: Femur, Fibula
Humerus, Radius, Tibia, Ulna, & digits Phalanges. See diagram. Pneumatic bone/Alveolar bones
Bones filled with air to lighten their weight -
Maxilla, Frontal, Mandible, Ethmoid and bones with “sinuses”.
Sesamoid bonesare completely surrounded by soft tissue w/o joints e.g. Hyoid. small bones around the thumb and big toe.
Short bones Roughly cubic in shape. Most wrist Carpal and ankle Tarsal
bones; many of the bones at the base of the skull.
Sutural bones = “Wormian” bones are small bones which occur w/in the skull sutures. They are sometimes called extra-sutural if the main part f the bone is outside of the suture. They are unnamed, except the Incus - the largest extra-sutural bone.
There are: There are between 600 and 620 bones in the body including the various sesamoid and Wormian bones and other areas where there may be separate or ossified joints. 22 paired skull bones including the ear ossicles / not including the teeth.
5 single bones mainly on the base of the skull. 1 mandible.
1 hyoid.
variable sutural & extra-sutural bones (generally between 3-5). There are: 56 digit bones or Phalanges plus an additional 3 to 4 small sesamoid bones in the foot over the big toe and the thumb.

Classification and Summary of Ligaments
definition: a band of tissue connecting bones, viscera or other body structures, may be distinct fibrous bands or fascial folds or nonfunctional remnants of foetal structuresNAME DESCRIPTION EXAMPLES SHOWN IN
accessory any “helping” lig. the: palm (palmar), hand overview, foot = supporting/strengthening sole (plantar), overview, TMJ views, collateral the primary lig. generally phalanges (volar) shoulder joint, wrist
used where there are temporomandibular overview many short bones in a joint (Henle),
crowded area humerus and wrist
annular also any circular lig. annulus fibrosis vertebro-vertebral see annular lig. of the joints

This is the order of the illustrations in the book.
When beside the name of a structure there is a listing - (see XYZ)… it will be listed at the site XYZ, which may also refer to its alternative name; when beside a structure there is a listing - (also see XYZ)… further information about that structure will be at the site for XYZ, but it will be present in the order listed site as well; this includes structures listed in the BACK section.

Special less features inferiorly after may fuse with features: S1 no pedicles, laminae or sacrum late in life spinous processes looks like the bill of the cuckoo Variable Shape/Morphology
