Injuries to the knee

The knee is the strong hinge joint between the thigh-bone (femur) and
shin-bone (tibia). It is capable of bending and straightening and, in the
bent position, of slightly rotating. The knee-joint is supported by strong
muscles and ligaments. The ligaments are attached to the thigh-bone,
the shin-bone and the smaller splint-bone (fibula). In front it is protected
by a disc of bone, the knee-cap (patella). Any of these structures may be
damaged by direct blows, violent twists or strains. For example, among
footballers a torn ligament is a very common injury. If the knee has been
injured, there may be pain and swelling around the knee.

Unit 7 49
Lesson 9: Distribution of disease
A Read the second part of Dr Mura Sultan’s lecture. Then shade in

the areas affected by malaria on the map below.
The map shows us that most of Africa below the Sahara Desert is
affected by malaria. The exception is South Africa and parts of
Namibia in the south west, which are free of the disease. The North
African countries are also generally free of malaria. Moving east
there is an area of malaria around the coasts of the Arabian
Peninsula – along the Red Sea coast and through Yemen and Oman.
Parts of Iraq and the south of Iran are also affected. Moving further
into Asia, we can see that most of India and Pakistan are affected. Also
the countries of South-East Asia – Burma,
Malaysia, Thailand – and the islands of
Indonesia and Borneo, have malaria.
Australia, however, down here in the far
south-east, is not affected. Moving to the
western hemisphere, we can see that North
America is not affected. It has no malarial
regions. But parts of Central America are
affected. Also, the northern countries in
South America are affected by malaria – in
particular the area of the Amazon.
Countries in the far south of South America,
such as Argentina and Chile, do not have
malaria.
B Look at the map and the f igures in the table below. They show the
geographical distribution of leprosy around the world, according to
the World Health Organisation (WHO). Write a short report
describing the distribution.
WHO region cases of

leprosy (1998)

South-East Asia 591,069
Eastern Mediterranean 1 1,977
