24
Q

How do nutrients get to the synovial joint. How does nutrients get into our articular cartilage?

A

Veins and arteries connect the the synovial membrane where nutrients can diffuse into the synovial fluid. From there we the joint moves the articular cartilage acts as a sponge absorbing nutrients and removing waste products.

25
Q

What is synovial fluid? And what’s its function?

A

Viscous slippery fluid found inside synovial joints

Functions to lubricate, and waste/ nutrient exchange for articular cartilage

26
Q

What gives synovial fluid its characteristic?

A

Albumin, proteoglycans (hold and trap water), hyaluronic acid (increase viscosity of fluid.

27
Q

What is a ligament and what is the function?

A

Fibrous connective tissue that Connects bones to bones
Limit range of motion.

28
Q

What is a menisci and where is it found?

A

Fibrocartilage found in knee & temporal mandible joint.
Improves fit of knee bones, stabilize joint, shock absorption,

29
Q

What is a bursae? Function? Location?

A

Synovial fluid filled sacks that provide lubrication for synovial joints.

Located in between ligaments, muscle, tendons, skin and bones where they rub together

30
Q

What are tendon sheaths? Function? Location?

A

Tubular bursa that wraps around tendons and holds them together.
Found wherever tendon is subject to pressure or friction on 2 or more surfaces (carpal tunnel)

31
Q

What are fatty pads of synovial joints? Location function?

A

Adipose tissue cushion between the fibrous outer layer of capsul and synovial membrane or bone.
Increase support for joint

32
Q

What is a tendon

A

Attaches muscle to bone

33

Q

What is uniaxial movement

A

Movement in one plane

37
Q

What does biaxial movement?

A

Movement in 2 planes

38
