A: The biotic factors of the desert biome include the living organisms, such as plants and animals, that call the desert home, while abiotic factors include the elements and resources to support life, such as sunlight, water and air.
Finger cramps are also caused by fingers that feel like they need to be cracked or popped due to excess pressure in the joints. In other cases, a more serious disease may cause finger cramping, such as osteoarthritis or even vitamin deficiencies.
The MCP joints of the fingers may actually begin to point sideways (towards the little finger). This is called ulnar drift. Ulnar drift can cause weakness and pain, making it difficult to use your hand for daily activities. Both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis can affect the IP joints of the fingers. The IP joints may begin to flex (bend) or hyperextend (over straighten), causing characteristic finger deformities.
