function of joint?
allow movement
provide stability
joint that allows more mobility has less ___
stability
joint surface movement?
arthrokinematics
joint movement
osteokinematics
3 ways joints are classified?
shape
type
function
2 types of joints in musculoskeletal systems are?
synarthrosis
diathrosis
synarthrosis joints are subdivided into which joints?
fibrous
cartilaginous joints
which joint provides stability ?
synarthrosis
which joint provides mobility?
diarthrosis
type of fibrous joint w a thin layer of fibrous periosteum bt 2 bones?
sutures in the skull
type of fibrous joint held together by ligaments, interosseous membrane
ligamentous
allow some twisting/stretching but mostly stability
type of joint bt the tooth and wall of the mandible?
gomphosis
which joint type provides stability while allowing small movements like bending, twisting, & compression?
cartilaginous joints
2 cartilage types that are in cartilaginous joints?
hyaline cartilage
fibrocartilage - in the spine
also called synovial joint providing more mobility than stability?
diarthrosis joint
ligament
bone to bone fibrous connective tissue
nonelastic
attachments for cartilage, fascia, & sometimes muscles
surrounds & encases a joint?
capsule
Which vascular connective tissue secretes synovial fluid?
synovial membrane
thick clear fluid primarily of water & dissolved protein
synovial fluid
2 major functions of synovial fluid?
lubricates articular cartilage to reduce friction
&
serves as a major source of nutrition for articular cartilage `
a dense, fibrous connective tissue that can withstand great amounts of pressure/tension?
cartilage
what are the 3 basic types of cartilage in the body?
hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic
also known as articular cartilage, covers end of bones in a synovial joint
hyaline cartilage
- avascular
- cannot repair is damaged
present in both synovial & cartilaginous joints
shock absorption
fibrocartilage
