Articulations Flashcards
What forms articulations
flexible connective tissue
what is the purpose of articulations
hold bones together but offer some movement
what are the 2 ways to classify joints
functional and sturctural
what classification of joints is based on the movemnt they permit
functional
what is structural classification based on
anatomical characteristic (space and type of tissue)
what are the 3 different functional classifications of joints
Synarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis
diarthrosis
which functional classification of joints are immovable
synarthrosis
how movable are amphiarthrosis joints
slightly
what functional classification of joints are freely movable
diarthrosis
what are the 3 different structural classifications of joints
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
what is the only joint with joint cavities
synovial
what holds together the bones in fibrous joints
dense connective tissue
which joints are held together by cartilage
cartilaginous joints
what holds together synovial joints
dense connective tissue
what type of joint is syndesmosis
fibrous and amphiarthrosis
where is the syndesmosis joint
distal tib/fib
what type of joint is a suture
fibrous and synarthrosis
where are sutures
only in the skull
what type of joint is gomphosis
synarthrosis and fibrous
where is the gomphosis joint
in gums
what type of joint is a interosseous membrane
fibrous
where is the interosseous membrane
between tibia and fibula aswell as radius and ulna
what tyep of joint is a symphysis
cartilaginous
where is symphysis joints located
pubic symphysis, intervertabral discs and between manubrium and sternum
what joint contains fibrocartilginous discs
symphysis
what type of joint is synchondrosis
synarthrosis and cartaliginous
what type of joint is the epiphyseal plate
synchondrosis
what surrounds synovial joints
articular capsule
what connects the articular capsule to the periosteum of the bone
outer layer/fibrous capsule
what is the purpose of the inner layer of the articular capsule
produces synovial fluid
what makes up synovial fluid
hyaluronic acid and fluid from blood plasma
