Arthritis is a joint disorder, causing inflammation of joints in the body. Age is the primary factor leading to arthritis. With the aging of the body, the cartilages protecting bone heads at a joint become weak, the water content in the cartilages rises, and the cartilages become brittle due to the breaking up of the protein make up. They start flaking, lose all power to repair them after the day's wear and tear, and can no more protect bone...more
The term arthritis stands for a disorder affecting the joints and muscles around the joint. Every joint in human body lies protected within a capsule. Cartilages occur at the bone heads of the two bones meeting at a joint. The joint cavity is filled with a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid. The cartilages at bone heads serve as cushioned pad resisting bone friction and allowing smooth movement of the bones. Due to factors like aging, obesity, previous history of bone damage or infection and heredity, cartilages often get weakened and start wearing out. This phenomenon characterized by the degeneration and loss of cartilage exposes bones to friction. The bones collide, get rubbed against each other and get eroded. Continuous erosion of bones due to friction may reduce the bone heads to spurs or osteophytes. All this lead to joint inflammation and is named as arthritis. There are numerous types of arthritis, but the most widespread types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Osteoarthritis is common among the elderly masses. In case of osteoarthritis, aging triggers cartilage degeneration and bone friction. Rheumatoid arthritis attacks young people. It is an...more
