A BDI Research team is looking into the biomechanics of synovial joints, as various structures within joints are particularly challenging to heal. The team is looking into ways to support regeneration or repair synovial joints. The first stage of this research project is characterization of a typical synovial joint from multiple different specimens and ages. As part of the team, you’ve been assigned specimen X virtual slide from a developing mammal, to characterize and label, to compare against other team members specimens.

VIRTUAL SLIDE TO USE:

• Go to the Virtual Slide here - this is the mandatory slide to use for this assessment

•  Zoom in and out becoming familiar with various regions and begin to identify

  different structures. 

Your task is to take NO MORE THAN 4 snapshot-images of a

synovial joint of your choice from the slide indicated above,  and surrounding tissue

Snapshot-image is

Crtl-Alt-PrtScn on your keyboards

Label any 20 of any of the following on a snapshot of a synovial joint (from the virtual slide indicted above) and adjoining tissue:

• Articular surfaces / articular cartilage / hyaline cartilage
• Fibrous joint capsule
• Joint space / synovial fluid
• Synovial membrane
• Skeletal muscle
• Periosteum
• Compact bone
• Endosteum
• Osteoid
• Immature bone (woven bone)
• Bone marrow
• Epiphysis
• Metaphysis
• Diaphysis
• Epiphyseal growth plate
• Osteocyte
• Osteoblast
• Reserve zone
• Zone of proliferation
• Zone of hypertrophy
• Zone of calcification
• Erythrocyte
• Chondrocyte in lacunae
• Blood vessel and an endothelial cell

Total 30 Marks (1.5 marks for each correctly identified structure (max 20))

Requirements:

• Snapshots must be from the

  virtual slide indicated 

• Labels are 20 different ones in total (not for each snapshot). We would suggest choose the best magnification to demonstrate the structure clearly.

• Magnification can vary

  between images (if needed). 

  There is no need to specify the magnification used in your answer. The purpose of using images at different magnifications is to allow students to label all the listed structures. Some structures might be clearly visible at a low magnification while others might need require a higher magnification to visualise clearly
• Images can be portrait or landscape, and rotated around as necessary*. *Note that we usually don't rotate embryological specimens in presentations/reports (cranial aspect is usually positioned superiorly, not upside down, for instance) but for this section with varying zoomed-in histological sections/screenshots, we don't mind if you rotate the images
• Figure legends not required; Headings not required 

• Convert your file to

  a PDF

• Four images spread over TWO A4 pages of work (with at least one image included on each page).

• No smaller

  than 12-point font

• If a structure is labelled incorrectly, no mark will be awarded for that
• If you label more than 20 structures, 20 will be selected at random by your assessor, if any of these are incorrect, you will not receive full marks

• Please put

  your name on the document & upload below

Label 3 on the radiograph below is the

In the pig trotter dissection, we could follow a tendon and ligament and see its origin and insertion, at least in part.

The elbow also has ligaments and tendons. See if you can match the label with its description. There may be different labels with similar descriptors.  

Label 'A' on this radiograph is: (1 mark)
