Body temperature is accurately controlled by a small area at the base of the brain (the hypothalamus) :in normal individuals it is maintained at about 37c (98 4 F). Heat produced by the body arises as the result of vital activities (e.g respiration, heart-beat,circulation, secretion) and from the muscular effort of excercise and shivering. A rise in body temperature occurs in fever. Thermometer = a device for registering temperature. A clinical thermometer consists of a sealed narrow - bore glass tube with a bulb at one end. It contains mercury which expands when heated and rises up the tube. The tube is calibrated in degrees and is designed to register temperature between 35ºc (95ºF) and A3.5º c (110º F) An oral thermometer is place in the mouth, a rectal thermometer is inserted into the rectum.

(Hang) : Joint = the point at which two or more bones are connected. The opposing surfaces of the two bones are lined with cartilaginous, fibrous or soft (synovial) tissue. The three main classes of join are - Diarthrosis(freely movable), Amphiarthrosis (slightly movable) and Synarthrosis (immovable). Articulatory(synovial or immovable) joints may be hinge joints which allow movement in one plane only (as at the knee), rotating slightly(movable) joints which allow a turning movement of a limb(as with the forearm at wrist) or ball- and- socket(movable) joints which allow a wide range of movements (as at the shoulder). Ball- and- Socket joint = joint where the rounded end of a long bone fits into a socket of another bone. Fibrous Joint = joint where two bones are fixed together by fibrous tissue so that they can move only slightly. Hinge joint = joint (like the knee)which allows the two bones to move in one plan only. Hip joints = place where hip is joined the upper leg. Locking joints = joints (such as the knee or the elbow) which can be locked in an extended position. Pivot joint = joint where a bone can rotate easily. Primary Cartilage joint = temporary joint where the intervening cartilage is converted into adult bone. Secondary Cartilage joints = joints where the surface of two bones are connected with a piece of cartilage so that they cannot move (such as the public symphysis). Synovial Joint = joint where the two bones are seperated by a space filled with synovial fluid which nourishes and lubricates the surface of the bones. Trochoid Joint = Pivot joint. Wrist Joint = place where the wrist joins the arm. Joint mice = loose piece of bone or cartilage in the knee joint making the joint lock.
