Articular System Flashcards

1
Q
  • no synovial cavity
  • permit little or no movement
    -bones are held together by dense irregular connective tissue that is rich in collagen fibers

Q

-Like a fibrous joint, lacks a synovial cavity and allows little or no movement

Q
  • Layer of hyaline cartilage
    -covering the articular surfaces of the bones
    with a smooth, slippery surface but does not bind them together.
  • reduces friction between bones, helps to absorb shock

7
Q
  • attaches to the periosteum of the articulating bones.
  • thickened continuation of the periosteum
  • permits considerable movement at a joint
    -great tensile strength (resistance to stretching) helps prevent the bones from dislocating

9
Q
  • Saclike structures that alleviates friction in some joints
  • filled with a small amount of fluid that is similar to synovial fluid
  • cushion the movement of these body parts against one another (knee, shoulder)

Q
  • tubelike bursae
  • they wrap around tendons that experience friction
  • protects all sides of a tendon from friction as the tendon slides back and forth

12
Q
  • “wear-and-tear” arthritis, most common
  • combination of aging, obesity, irritation of the joints, muscle weakness, and wear and abrasion.
  • Articular cartilage deteriorates and new bone forms
  • The articular cartilage is mainly affected, but the synovial membrane becomes
    inflamed later in the disease

Q
  • an inflammation of the tendons, tendon sheaths, and synovial membranes
  • resulting in tennis elbow and trigger finger
    -swollen sheaths because of fluid accumulation.
    -tenderness and pain
  • from trauma, strain, or excessive exercise

17
Q
  • intervertebral disk protrudes beyond the edge of a vertebra.
  • caused by excessive pressure on the vertebral column
  • the protruding disk may place pressure on a spinal nerve
    and cause considerable pain.
A

Herniated disk

18
Q

-abnormal lateral curvature
-more common in adolescent girls

19
Q
  • excessive thoracic curvature
  • humpback condition
20
Q

-excessive lumbar curvature
-swayback condition

21
Q

any break in a bone

22
Q
  • compound fracture
  • protrude through the skin.
A

Open fracture

23
Q
  • simple fracture
  • does not break the skin
A

Closed fracture

24
Q

-splintered, crushed, or broken into pieces

A

Comminuted fracture

25
-partial fracture -broken, bend -similar to the way a green twig breaks
Greenstick fracture
26
forcefully driven into the interior of the other.
Impacted fracture
27
-fracture on distal end fibula -
Pott’s fracture
28
-fracture on distal end of lateral leg bone -serious injury of the distal tibial articulation
Pott’s fracture
29
-Fracture of the distal end of lateral forearm bone -distal fragment is displaced posteriorly
Colles’ fracture
30
opposing surfaces are rough, with toothed or serrate projections fitting into corresponding indentations
Dentate fracture
31
fracture of the posterior elements of the second vertebral bone (C2) of the spine
Hangman’s fracture
32
microscopic fissures in bone
Stress fracture (hairline fracture)
33
-break at the site where bone attaches to a tendon or ligament - tendon or ligament pulls off a part of the bone it’s attached to.
Avulsion fracture
34
-bone resorption (breakdown) outpaces bone deposition (formation) -due to depletion of calcium from the body - afflicts the entire skeletal system
Osteoporosis
35
Diagnosis for osteoporosis
taking a family history and undergoing a bone mineral density (BMD) test
36
Treatment for osteoporosis
antireabsorptive drugs bone-building drugs
37
drug that slows down the progression of bone loss
antireabsorptive drugs
38
drugs that promote increasing bone mass
bone-building drugs
39
-result from inadequate calcification -usually caused by a vitamin D deficiency
Rickets (children) and Osteomalacia (adults)
40
Treatment for Rickets and Osteomalacia
• Vitamin D intake • Exposure to moderate amounts of sunlight
