The A to Z of Bones, Joints & Ligaments
Introduction
The A to Z of the Bones of the Skull has been completely rewritten and is now wholey incoorperated in the A to Z of the Head & Neck, which discusses the bones and muscles of the Head and Neck. Although it is derived from the A to Z of the Bones, Joints & Ligaments its emphasis has changed, as with the Head and Neck book, due to large amount of feedback received and there is a separate section on the back and Vertebral Column - VC, clinical testing and assessment of this area.
Note using this book and online quizzes it is possible to use this material for continuing education programs please write/email/contact me for further details.

Please note there is now a supportive website: http://www.aspenpharma.com.au/atlas/student.htm, where images of all the A to Z books may be found. Feedback pages reside at the end of the book as does a boney quizz for all those interested (did you name all the gold teeth in the A to Z of the Head and Neck?). All feedback will be well received, particularly regarding future titles, and any other ideas!!!

This is the fourth major update of the A to Z books, after the updated version of the A to Z of Anatomical, Medical and Histological terms, and the A to Z of Skeletal Muscles.
The A to Z of Bones, Joints & Ligaments
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. As a separate feature at the end of the book a consideration is given to the back its function clinical examination and testing. 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 and so on...

rA ma nd
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. Each bone and joint is shown 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 onto the second diagram and the key to the features is the same for both. 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.

Longer than wide 2 ends epiphysis and a central diaphysis. Growth mainly lengthwise: most limb bones: Femur, Fibula Humerus, Radius, Tibia, Ulna, and digits Phalanges see diagram
Pneumatic bone/Alveolar bone Bones filled with air to lighten their weight Maxilla, Frontal, Mandible, Ethmoid and bones with sinuses
Short bone
Sutural bone
There are:
D20
There are:
Each limb has a single long bone proximally (arm and thigh), a hinge joint and 2 bones distally (the forearm and shin) joined by an interosseous upper membrane ligament. Each pair of limbs is supported by a GIRDLE of supporting bones the PECTORAL GIRDLE and the lower PELVIC GIRDLE.
rA ma nd
Sesamoid bone Bones completely surrounded by soft tissue w/o joints Hyoid Roughly cubic in shape. Most wrist Carpal and ankle Tarsal bones; many of the bones at the base of the skull.
Wormian bone small bones which occur within the skull sutures sometimes called extra-sutural if the main part of the bone is outside of the suture. Generally, they are unnamed although the Incus is given to the large extra-sutural bone when present. 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 and extra-sutural bones (generally between 3-5)
