encompass autoimmune, degenerative, inflammatory, and systemic conditions that affect the joint, muscle, and soft tissue of the body
rheumatic disease

arthritis
the most commonly manifested features of arthritis
limitation of mobility
marked by a period of remission and exacerbation
limitation of mobility
two classification for rheumatic diseases

inflammatory

autoimmunity
the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints

it gives cushions to the bones
articular cartilage
synovial membrane
thin barriers that line the inside of some of your joints
synovial membrane
a characteristic of rheumatic disease wherein it is caused by OLD AGE
degenerative
a characteristic of rheumatic disease wherein it is SECONDARY PROCESS TO INFLAMMATION
degenerative
the formation of new blood vessels
angiogenesis
this wbc can cause tissue destruction
neutrophils
proliferation of inflamed tissue
pannus invasion
bone destruction
osteoclast
a type of imaging test used to look at a joint, such as the shoulder, knee, or hip.
arthrography
what are the COMMON TEST FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
increase ESR and CRP
