Synovial Joints Decoded: From Cartilage to Cavity and Beyond
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Discover the intricacies of synovial joints, the body's most moveable joint type. Explore the role of articular cartilage, joint cavities, and the articular capsule in ensuring smooth movement. Gain insights into the varying presence of fibrocartilage in different synovial joints.
Why Flamingos Are Pink: The Role of Diet in Coloration
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Uncover why flamingos, genetically predisposed to white feathers, sport a pink hue. Dismissing influences like weather and DNA mutations, the mystery unravels with diet: the intake of carotenoids from their food which overrides their genetic blueprint
Movement in Joints: Synarthrotic to Diarthrotic, How Do They Compare
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore the spectrum of movement in joints, from immovable synarthrotic to freely movable diarthrotic. Understand how these classifications correspond to fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joint types.
The Role of Nerves and Ganglia in the Peripheral Nervous System
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore the critical components of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), including nerves and ganglia. Understand the distinction between sensory and autonomic ganglia and the composition of nerves' layers. Learn why nerves and ganglia lack the protective meninges found in the CNS and how they facilitate essential signal transmission within the body.
Muscle Contraction: Which Part Moves the Least? Origin vs. Insertion
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Uncover the fundamentals of human muscle contraction and anatomy in this lesson. Highlighting the distinct roles of muscle origin and insertion we clarify their functions in movement. Learn why the muscle origin is the cornerstone of stability during contraction anchoring our body mechanics.
