Articulation Flashcards
What is the study of articulation?
Anthropology
What is a place of contact between bone & bone, bone & cartilage, bones & teeth?
Joint/ Articulation
What is the relationship between mobility and stability of a joint?
+MOBILITY=-STABILITY
-MOBILITY=+STABILITY
What are the 3 structural categories of joints?
- fibrous
- cartilaginous joints
- synovial joints
What type of joint is made of dense irregular synarthrosis CT?
Fibrous joint
Name the 3 different types of fibrous joints
- Gomphoses
- Sutures
- Syndesmoses
What membrane holds teeth in place? What joint is that a part of?
- Periodontal membrane.
- gomphoses
What type of joint is immobile?
Synarthrosis
What type of joint is slightly mobile?
Amphiarthrosis
What type of joint is completely mobile?
Diarthosis
What type of fibrous joint holds skull bones together and morph with age?
Sutures
What are fused sutures called?
synostoses
What fibrous joint is amphiarthroses interosseous membrane between bones?
EX) radius & ulna, tibia & fibula
Syndesmoses
What joint holds the sides of bones together?
interosseous membrane (interosseous ligaments)
What joint is held together by cartilage?
Cartilaginous joint
What are the 2 types of cartilaginous joints?
- Synchondroses
- Symphyses
What joint is made out of synarthrosis hyaline cartilage? Where can it be located?
Synchondroses. Ex) immature/child skeleton Ex) Epiphyseal plate Ex) sphenoid & basilar part of occipital Ex) first sternocostal joint Ex) costochondral joints
What joint is between ribs &
differ from articulation between ribs 2-7 (synovial joint)
Synchondroses costochondral joints
What amphiarthroses fibrocartilagenous joint resist tension & stress between articulating bone means growing together ?
Where is it located?
- Symphyses
- Ex) intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis
What diarthrosis articular cartilage separates joint cavities?
Synovial joints
What small space hold synovial fluid?
Joint cavity
What is the main function of synovial joints?
Fluid-Filled cavities prevent friction between articulating surfaces
Name the 3 functional differences of joints
- Synarthrosis
- Amphiarthroses
- Diarthrosis
What is synovial fluid?
synovia: viscid lubricating fluid secreted by the membrane lining joints and tendon sheaths etc.
What random fibrous synovial membrane sack hold synovial fluid & reduces friction?
Bursa (purse)
What are the 7 features of synovial joints?
1) Articular Capsule
2) Joint Cavity
3) Synovial Fluid
4) Articular Cartilage
5) Ligaments
6) Nerves
7) Blood
What is the weakest part of a skeleton?
Joints
What joints get injured more easily?
Loosely fitted joints
What joints are the strongest?
Tightly fitted joints
How do we classify the structure of a joint?
Based on binding materials holding joint together (CT & Spaces)
How do we classify the function of a joint?
Based on type of movment allowed
What type of joint is most immovable?
Gomphoses Fibrous Joint
