Arthrology Flashcards
Connective tissue band that extends from bone to bone
Fibrous ligament
A fibrous ligament is a connective tissue band that extends from bone to bone.
Fibrous connective tissue which connects one bone or cartilage or holds together
Ligament
Ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which connects one bone or cartilage or holds together.
Connective tissue bands that connect muscle to bone
Tendon
Tendon is connective tissue bands that connect muscle to bone.
Formation of these
Joint
Joint formed when two or more bones are united by fibrous, elastic or cartilaginous or bony.
Study of joints and articulations
Arthrology or Syndesmology
Arthrology or Syndesmology is the scientific study of joints and articulations.
Science of the ligamentous system
Arthrology and Syndesmology
Arthrology and Syndesmology is the science of the ligamentous system.
Formed when two 2 or more bones are united by fibrous, elastic or cartilaginous or by combination of these
Articulations or joints
Found within joints and are sorrounded by the synovial membrane
Intrascapular (Intra-articular) Ligaments
External to the joint capsule; they include?
Extracapsular (Periarticular) Ligaments
Collateral, dorsal, palmar, plantar, and annular ligaments
Lie on the medial and lateral aspects of a joint.
Collateral Ligaments
Lie in front of and behind the joint
Dorsal and Palmar (Plantar Ligaments)
Sorround the joint
Annular ligaments
CLASSIFICATION OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS ACC. TO THE NUMBER OF ARTICULATING SURFACES INVOLVED
Simple joints
Compound joints
Articulations with two articulating bones
Simple joints
Articulations with more than two articulating bones
Compound joints
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON THE BASIS FUNCTION
*Fibrous joint (synarthrosis)
*Cartilaginous Joint (Amphiarthrosis)
* Synovial joint (true joint/ diarthrosis
