Articulations Flashcards
Complete bone fusion, metopic suture
Bony
Four classifications of structure
Bony, fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial
Held together by collagen fibers
Fibrous
Similar to hyaline, but contains more water
Cartilaginous
Has articular capsule and fluid
Synovial
Three classifications of movement
Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diathrosis
Immovable joint
Synarthrosis
Examples of Synarthrosis
Sutures (skull), gomphoses (teeth), synchondroses (rib to sternum), synostoses (metopic suture)
Slightly movable
Amphiarthrosis
Examples of amphiarthrosis
Syndesmoses (distal fib/tib), symphyses (pubic bone)
Highly movable
Diarthrosis
What are the six types of diarthrotic joints?
Gliding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoidal/condyloid, saddle, ball and socket
What are the two components of the articular capsule?
Synovial membrane (c.t.) and synovial fluid (liquid, some water)
Fibrocartilage, channels within the joint
Meniscus
Fills spaces when bones move apart
Fat pads
Intracapsular
Intrinsic ligament
Extracapsular
Extrinsic ligaments
Fluid-filled pockets, form where tendons and ligaments rub, reduce friction and absorb shock
Bursa
Inflammation of the bursa
Bursitis
Most common form of bursitis, great toe, also “housemaid’s knee” or “student’s elbow”
Bunion
