Articulations Flashcards
3 classifications of joints according to function
- Synarthrose- non movable
- Amphiarthroses- slightly movable
- Diarthroses- Freely movable
Synarthroses
Non-movable joint- ex suture
Amphiarthrose
Slightly movable
Diarthroses
-Freely movable- ex shoulder
3 types of fibrous joints and 2 types of cartilaginous joints
Fibrous joints
-suture- (cranial bone) bone connective tissue bone
no joint cavity (synarthrosis)
-syndesmosis (radius-ulna) bone fibrous connective tissue bone (amphiarthrosis)
-gomphosis (root of tooth and alveoli) (synarthrosis)
Cartilaginous joints—- bone cartilage bone
-synchondrosis- epiphyseal plate or sternacostal 1
-symphysis- bone fibrocartilge bone—
Intervertebral discs, symphysis pubis (amphiarthrosis)
Describe three major components of a synovial joint.
- Bone space bone
- there is a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid made by the membrane
- there is an outer fibrous joint capsule as well as ligaments holding bones in place.
- menisci- pads of fibrocartilage in the knee joint
- Bursae-cushion, some joints have this in high areas of friction
Flexion
decreasing
flexion of shoulder joint is when you swing your arm forward, flexion of the hip is when you swing your thigh forward
dorsiflexion
of ankle stand on heel, toes to sky
extension
increasing angle
Extension of knee is straightening it, extension of shoulder/hip is swinging arm/thigh backwards.
hyperextention
increasing angle past anatomical position
rotation
turn medial and lateral
circumduction
turning 360- head circles
inversion
soles facing foot
eversion
soles facing away
adduction
away from boddy
