6/5/2012The Panjabi model for the spinal stabilizing system consists of 3interacting subsystems. These are the passive system(structure of the vertebrae, passive stiffness ofthe intervertebral discs, spinalligaments, joint capsules, andthe passive properties of the muscles), active system(contractile properties of muscles and tendons),and neural system (proprioceptors and other neural controlcomponents). The 3 subsystems complement each other andwork together to achieve stability.There are three main categories of vocabulary:General vocabularySpecialized vocabularyTechnical vocabularyThese are words that everyone knows and usesas a part of everyday communicationThese are words that have specific meaningdepending on the content area being covered.For example, the word “bar” in a music classrefers to time duration. In a science class, “bar”means a shape. Also, in a math class, the word“ruler” means a device to measure things. In ahistory class, it means a leader.These are words that relate very specifically toa content area and are not familiar to peoplewho have not studied that content area. Forexample, do you know the word “exegesis”? Aseminarian knows it. But he might not knowthe word “duodenum” while a science majorwould know that word.The Panjabi model for the spinal stabilizing system consists of 3interacting subsystems.
