Articular Skelton Flashcards
Slightly moveable joints
Between vertebrae
Between right and left pubic bones (symphysis pubis)
Sacroiliac joint (also a moveable joint)
Ligaments
Join bone to bone
Sacroiliac joint
Sacrum and ilium
Fibrous and synovial
Anatomy of synovial
Hyaline (articular) cartilage
Synovial fluid
Synovial membrane
Called joint capsule (ligament)
Hyaline cartilage
A protective layer of dense white connective tissue that covers the ends of articulating bones
Synovial membrane
Covers joint cavity
Secrets the lubrication fluid
Synovial fluid
Lubricates the joint
Sternoclavicular
Clavicle and sternum
Acromioclavicular
Clavicle and scapula
Glenohumeral
Humerus and scapula ( glenoid fossa)
Humeroulnar
Humerus and ulna
Humeroradial
Humerus and radius
Radioulnar
Radius and ulna
Distal and proximal
Metacarpophalanges
Between distal end of metacarpals and proximal phalanges
Lumbosacral joint
Between proximal femur and the socket in the pelvis
Knee joint: tibiofemoral joint
Tibia and femur
Knee joint: meniscus cartilage
Shock absorbing fibrocartilage disc
Knee joints: Anterior and posterior ligaments
In the centre of the joint ACL, PCL
Knee joints: lateral and medial collateral ligaments
Extend from femur to tibia and fibula on the outside of the joint MCL, LCL
The ankle joint: talocrural joint
Distal fibula and tibia articulate with superior part of the talus
Joints of the foot: transverse (mid) tarsal joint
Between proximal and distal row of tarsal bones inversion and eversion of the foot
