The A to Z of Bones, Joints and Ligaments

Introduction

This is now the fourth in the A to Z series and looks like as I

had hoped that it will be part of a greater A to Z project with a

website which will have all the images for student and health

professional use. Using the positive feedback I have obtained

from the A to Z of the Skull, I have enlarged the scope of the

book to include all the bones, joints and ligaments of the

human body. I have added and changed the presentation to

incorporate some of the excellent suggestions I have had from

the Skull and other books.

Again I have included a feedback page at the end of this book

and I hope that from it if there are any suggestions or ideas

about the publication that this will be used as a guide to any of

you who may have some ideas for this project. However if you

just want to write fax, email or other send your suggestions to

me, I am always pleased to hear them.

I am always grateful for the feedback I have received from the

other publications.

Acknowledgement

Again I would like and need to thank Aspen Pharmacare for

their support and assistance in this valuable project particularly

Greg Lan. In a day when there is deep concern within the

medical and other health care professional bodies that anatomy

and other basic sciences are not being taught adequately to

new students, this type of resource is even more important.

Students are aware of what they need to know and nowadays

are extremely resourceful in finding information. Doctors and

other Health professionals are on a continuing pathway in the

quest to review their knowledge and keep abreast with new

and changing factors in medicine and it is hoped this resource

will help in these searches of the new and the experienced, of

all those interested in health and medicine.

Dedication

To Ali, Zoe, Mickey, Quentin and Jody for support help and love

over the years. In memory of Monkey and Spook. And… hello

to Jack.

How to use this book

Bones, Joints and Ligaments have been listed alphabetically

and cross referenced as much as possible with their common

names (e.g. the SHOULDER JOINT is the GLENOHUMERAL

JOINT and the COLLAR BONE is the CLAVICLE) preference is

made to list them as their proper anatomical names with cross

referencing in the index to their common names, but each item

may be looked up with either terminology.

Bones and joints are shown generally from at least 2 aspects,

with numbered features on the diagram page and the key or

index to these on the opposite page. Numbering is generally

started anew with each diagram except where it is obvious the

diagrams are related and then the numbering is continued on

to the second diagram and the key to the features is the same

for both.

Occasionally 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 most of the ribs

function most of the time not as individual bones.

Capitalization is used to demonstrate the bones involved in

several structures including joints of all kinds (e.g. sutures).

In other words the parietomastoid suture is listed as Parieto-

Mastoid suture to further remind the reader of the involved

bones or bony features involved in the composition of the

structure. This helps to further orientate the reader to the

structural components of the feature.

The A to Z of Bones, Joints and Ligaments

It is hoped that this will prove a valuable resource for those

examining individual bones and their articulations and support

structures to build up the complete joint as in the study of

ANATOMY and its many uses such as: archeology,

anthropology, chiropractic dentistry, forensics, geology,

medicine, orthopaedics, osteology, paleontology, paleobiology,

physiotherapy, massage therapy and surgery. Hence any

suggestions on format or inclusions will be gratefully received.

Note: colour coding on base is regional.

Thank you
