Q

SYNCHONDROSIS
(Primary cartilaginous joint)

A

Temporary cartilaginous junction between epiphysis and diaphysis (shaft) of a growing (immature) bone

Bones are united by a plate or a bar hyaline cartilage, sometimes occur btwn ossification (bone tissue formation) centers

-1st rib & the manubrium sterni

Q

Synovial joints (diarthrosis)

A

Articular surfaces of the bone are covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage separated by a joint cavity; great degree of freedom of movement

Q

Interphalangeal joint

A

Hinge joint

20
Q

Pivot joint

A

One bone rotates about another

21
Q

Atlanto-axial joint (atlas and axis bone in neck/ C1 & C2)

A

Pivot joint

22
Q

Proximal radioulnar joint

A

Pivot joint

(Occurs between the head of the radius and the ring formed of the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament)

23
Q

Distal radioulnar joint

A

Pivot joint

(Formed btwn head of ulna and ulnar notch on the lower extremity of radius)

24
Q

Ellipsoid joint

A

Movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction BUT NO ROTATION

25
Q

Radiocarpal (wrist joint)

A

Ellipsoidal

26
Q

Metatarsophalangeal joint (toe knuckles)

A

Condyloid

27
Q

Condyloid joints

A

Movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction BUT W/ SMALL ROTATION

28
Q

Metacarpophalangeal joint

A

Condyloid joint

29
Q

Saddle joint

A

Reciprocally concavoconvex, permit same movements as the condyloid joints but allows greater movement

30
Q

Carpometacarpal joint (thumb) /trapeziometacarpal

A

Saddle joint

31
Q

Ball-and-socket joint

A

Allow for all movements except gliding

32
Q

Glenohumeral joint (shoulder)

A

Ball-and-socket

33
Q

Hip joint

A

ball-and-socket

34
Q

Stability of joints depends on

A
  1. Arrangement of articular surfaces
  2. Ligaments: connects joints together
  3. Muscle tone (major factor)
35
Q

Bursae

A

Small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane; provides a cushion between tendons/muscles around a joint; helps reduce friction

36
Q

Synovial sheath

A

Reduce friction between tendon and its surroundings

37
Q

A type of fibrous articulation restricted to the fixation of the teeth in the mandible and maxilla

A

Gomphosis

38
Q

A type of motion involving gliding or sliding without appreciable angulation

A

Axial rotation
