Articulation

Question 1

classification of structure

Answer 1

Fibrous (dense regular CT)
Cartilaginous (cartilage)
Synovial

Question 2

classification of function

Answer 2

Synarthrosis (immobile)
Amphiarthrosis (slightly mobile)
Diarthrosis (freely moveable)

Question 3

types of fibrous joints

Answer 3

Gomphoses: between teeth and maxilla/mandible (synarthrosis)
Sutures: between skull bones (synarthrosis)
Syndesmoses: between parallel bones in the antibrachium and crus (amphiarthrosis)

Question 4

types of cartilaginous joints

Answer 4

Synchondroses: joined by hyaline cartilage (synarthrosis)
Synphyses: joint by fibrocartilage (amphiarthrosis)

Question 5

functional classification of synovial joints

Answer 5

Diarthrosis

Question 6

general anatomy of synovial joints

Answer 6

articular hyaline cartilage
joint cavity (filled w/synovial fluid)
synovial fluid
articular capsule
ligaments
nerves and blood vessels

Question 7

layers of the articular capsule of synovial joints

Answer 7

fibrous layer: made of dense regular cartilage for strengthening the joint

inner synovial membrane: secretes synovial fluid for lubrication and nourishment of chondrocytes of the articular cartilage and absorbs shock
