what type of cartilage are cartilaginous joints made from? [2]
what does are the names for them [2]
what type of cartilage are cartilaginous joints made from? [2]
- fibrocart
- hyaline cart
fibrocartilaginous joints = symphysis joints
hyaline cart. joints = syndrondosis joints
what are fonatelles? why do they exist?
Babies have much wider/expansive sutures: fonatelles
- anterior fontanelle found between two parts of frontal bone.
- this helps with post-natal growth of the skull and allows the brain to grow/expand, and also helps head deformity during birth. Can measure intercranial pressure, will bulge if pressure in skull has increased

ligaments connect WHAT? [1]
role? [1]
what are articular discs aka?
role? [2]
ligaments connect bone to bone!!! [1]
role? [1]
stabilise and hold joint together
what are articular discs aka: menisci
role? [2]
maintain stability;
direct flow of synovial fluid towards areas of greatest friction
what type of joint is highlighted?
pivot
saddle
condyloid
hinge
ball and socket
what type of joint is highlighted?
pivot: annular ligament = creates pivot joint !!

what is a synostosis fibrous joint? [1]
whats a bone with an example of a synostosis joint? [1]
what is a syndemosis fibrous joint? [1]
whats a bone with an example of where find a syndemosis joint? [1]
what is a gomphosis fibrous joint? [1]
whats a bone with an example of where find a gomphosis joint? [1]
what is a synostosis fibrous joint? [1]
At some sutures, the connective tissue will ossify and be converted into bone, causing the adjacent bones to fuse to each other (and make one big bone)
whats a bone with an example of a synostosis joint? [1]
frontal bone
what is a syndemosis fibrous joint? [1]
sheet of fibrous tissue between bones = interosseous membrane
whats a bone with an example of where find a syndemosis joint? [1]
between radius and ulnar / between tibia and fibula
what is a gomphosis fibrous joint? [1]
cone shaped peg fits into a socket
whats a bone with an example of where find a gomphosis joint? [1]
teeth
explain what is meant by the sacoiliac joint being a compound synovial joint [2]
explain what is meant by the sacoiliac joint being a compound synovial joint [2]
- *- anterior synovial plane joint**
- *- posteiror syndesmosis joint (**A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments). stable joint !!
name for the ligament within the hip joint capsule? [1]
ligamentum teres [1]
Hip stability is due to: ? [7]
- Deep insertion of femoral head into acetabulum
- Strong tight articular capsule, this is loose in shoulder. Attaches to greater trochanter and neck of the femur, so is a very tight fit. Gives stability yet also restricts movement
- Ligaments around the joint capsule (especially anteriorly) which will help stabilise the hip joint in extension (the anterior ligaments).
- Large powerful muscles around joint: single, individual most powerful muscle in the body is the gluteus maximus, and the most powerful group of muscles (quadriceps) all work to stabilise the hip joint
- Ligament within articular capsule, ligamentum teres. This attaches the head of the femur to the acetabulum and acts as like a tether. Can also be called ‘ligament of the head of the femur’.
- Fat pad fills central region and adds cushioning for thinnest part of acetabulum. Also helps to keep these two bones together
- Acetabulur labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring that helps with suction of the femur into the acetabulum. Doesn’t really add to the surface area, 10%, but acts with the synovial fluid to suction the head of the femur into the acetabulum
which is the strongest ligament around the hip joint articular capsule, which strengthens the joint? [1]
how does it achieve this stability? [1]
- anterior iliofemoral ligament - makes anterior side more stable than posterior
- relaxed in flexion but taught in extension
when the hip is extended, what happens to the ligament fibres? [1]
what does this do the the femur & acetabulum? [1]
when the hip is extended, what happens to the ligament fibres? [1]
- fibres become twisted and extended (& tighten)
what does this do the the femur & acetabulum? [1]
ligaments pull head of femur & acetabulum closer
which is the major extensor muscle of the hip? [1]
which are the major abductor muscles of the hip? [2]
which are the lateral rotators muscles of the hip? [2]
which is the major extensor muscle of the hip? [1]
gluteus maximus
which is the major abductor muscles of the hip? [2]
gluteus medius and minimus
which are the lateral rotators muscles of the hip? [2]
piriformis and lateral rotators
during locomotion, which muscles stabilise the hip? [2]
how? [1]
gluteus medius and minimus: contract to keep pelvis aligned during locomotion (otherwise, get contralateral (hip drop)
