Articular System ch.4 pt.1 Flashcards
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
is a ring of soft tissue or cartilage that surrounds the socket of a ball-and-socket joint, such as the shoulder or hip, to provide stability and support
Labrum
between the bodies of vertebrae absorb stresses on the vertebrae
discs
type of cartilage that helps maintain a structures shape
elastic cartilage
ex: ear or larynx
connects muscle to bone
tendon
