17
Q

What are synovial joints?

A
  • Permit a wide range of movements.

- Bones are separated from each other by joint space.

18
Q

List the characteristics of and the structure of the synovial joint.

A
  • Articular surface is covered by a thin layer of hyaline
  • 2 bones separated by a joint cavity.
  • 2 bones connected by a fibrous capsule.
  • Accessory ligament, present outside the capsule.
  • The synovial membrane is present inside a capsule.
19
Q

What fluid does synovial membrane produce?

A

-Synovial fluid.

20
Q

What are the three functions of synovial fluid?

A
  • Lubrication
  • Nutrition
  • Shock absorption
21
Q

What are some of the structures synovial joints contains?

A
  • Cartilage
  • Tendon of muscles
  • Ligament
22
Q

What form does cartilage come in?

A
  • Disc-sternoclavicular joint
  • Meniscus-Knee joint
  • Labrum(ring)- Shoulder and hip joint
23
Q

What are the 2 types of tendon?

A
  • The long head of biceps in the shoulder joint.

- Tendon of the popliteus muscle in the knee joint.

24
Q

Ligament

A

Cruciate ligament in the knee joint

25
Q

What are the types of synovial joints?

A
  • Uniaxial joints
  • Biaxial joints
  • Polyaxial joints
  • Plane joints
  • Compound joints
26
Q

Uniaxial joints

A
  • Hinge joints

- Pivot joints

27
Q

Hinge joints

A

-Flexion and extension of the elbow joints, ankle joints

28
Q

Pivot joints

A

-Movements occur around a vertical axis, such as radioulnar joints, median atlantoaxial joint.

29
Q

What are biaxial joints?

A

-Movements occur around 2 axes

30
Q

List the 3 biaxial joints?

A
  • Condyloid joints
  • Ellipsoid joints
  • Saddle joints
31
Q

What are condyloid joints?

A

It fits in a concavity like

  • knee joint: Flexion and extension+ Medial and lateral rotation
  • Metacarpophalangeal joints: Flexion and extension+adduction and abduction.
32
Q

What are ellipsoid joints?

A

Convexity in elliptical concavity such as the wrist joint

Flexion and extension+ adduction and abduction

33
Q

What are saddle joints?

A

-Biaxial plus slight rotation as the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.

34
Q

What are polyaxial joints?

A

Movement occurs around 2 axes.

35
Q

What are examples of polyaxial joints?

A
  • Shoulder joint

- Hip joint

36
Q

What are plane joints?

A

Articular surfaces are flat
The movements are gliding(sliding) such as the:
-Intercarpal
-Intertarsal joints

37
Q

What are the intercarpal joints?

A

Joints between carpal bones.

38
Q

What are the intertarsal joints?

A

Joints between tarsal bones

39
Q

What are compound joints?

A
  • More than one type.

- The joint is divided by articular disc into 2 joints.

40
Q

Examples of compound joints?

A

Temporo-mandibular joint

41
Q

What does the stability of joints consist of?

A
  • Shape of the articulating joint
  • Strenght of the accessory ligament
  • The muscle surrounding the joints-tone
