Arches of the foot
What are the 3 arches of the foot
Medial longitudinal arch
Lateral longitudinal arch
Transverse arch
Sites where bones and cartilage form a connection
Also known as an articulation or arthrosis
Joints
This way to classify a joint is based on the structure that connects the articulating surfaces of bones
Structural
This way to classify joints Is based on the amount of movement between articulating bones
Functional
Joined by fibrous connective tissue
Fibrous
Joined by cartilage like hyaline and fibrocartilage
Cartilaginous
Joined within a fluid filled joint cavity and is the most common joint
Synovial
Little to no movement
Synarthrosis
Slight movement
Amphiarthrosis
(Pubic symphisis, intervertebral discs)
Significant movement
Diarthrosis
Movement in one plane
Uniaxial
(Elbow)
Movement in 2 planes
Bi axial
(Metacarpophalangeal joints)
Movement in 3 or more planes
Multi axial
(Shoulder and hip joints)
Possible movement for fibrous and cartilaginous joints
Synarthrosis and amphiarthroses
Possible movement for synovial joints
Diarthrosis
Types of fibrous joints
