Arthrology Flashcards
Congruency Functional Continuum
Mobility Stability
Mobility loose binding tissues
Poor Bony Congruency
Multiplanar movement
Stability - Tight binding tissues
Good boney congruency
No or uni-planar movement
DAS
Diarthroses
Amphiarthroses
Synarthroses
Diarthroses
Very mobile, Poor boney congruency, multiplanar movement most commonly synovial joints.
Ex. The glenohumeral joint
Amphiarthroses
Tight binding tissues, good bony congruency, very little movement.
Ex. pubic symphysis
Synarthroses
Tight binding tissue, good boney congruecy, no movement.
Ex. Skull sutures.
Categories of Joints Based on Binding Tissue
Synovial
Cartilaginous
Fibrous
Types of Fibrous Joints
Sutures
Syndesmoses
Gomphoses
All of the fibrous joints are made of Dense fibrous connective tissue.
Types of Cartilaginous Joints
Synchondroses
Symphsis
Suture Joints
Joints of the skull, like a jidsaw puzzles.
Allows no movement.
Made of dense fibrous connective tissue.
Syndesmoses
Made out of dense Fibrous connective tissue.
Found in interosseous membranes in the radius and ulna and the tibia and fibula.
Gomphoses
Made out of dense fibrous connective tissue.
Found only in the teeth.
Synchondroses
Made out of hyalin cartilage.
Found in epiphyseal growth plates and in the joint joining the sternum and the first rib.
Other ribs form synovial capsules.
Symphsis
Made out of Fibrocartilage.
Pubic Symphsis
Synovial Joints
Has a fibrous joint capsule (Binding Tissue).
It is made out of dense Irregular connective tissue.
There is cartilage within these fibrous joint capsules, depend on the joint but mostly all have hyalin
Synovial Membrane
A membrane within the Fibrous joint capsule that produces synovial fluid.
