tendon sheath

A

synovial fluid-filled tubular sac wrapped around cord-like tendon

cushions tendon when rubbing against bone, muscle, or other tendons

protects tendon

Q

menisci

A

fibrocartilage disc between bones to allow contouring of synovial joint to adjust to changing joint shape

c-shaped

provides extra surface

Q

fat pad

A

fat pads located at periphery of joints which provide packing and fill spaces created when the joint cavity changes shape

cushions articular structures

EX: elbow, knee, hip

Q

Synovial Joint

A
  • Variable movement allowed (always diarthrosis)
  • The joint cavity connects bones with fluid-filled joint complex
  • Most joints of the body (especially in appendages)

Q

Sutural Joints

A

short fibers connect bones

no movement allowed (synarthrosis)

seen in bones of skull (except ear ossicles, teeth, and TMJ)

17
Q

Syndesmosis Joints

A

longer fibers connect bones

little movement allowed (amphiarthrosis)

seen in long bones arms/legs (interosseous membrane)

18
Q

Gomphosis Joints

A

short fibers connect teeth to jaw (alveolus)

no movement allowed (synarthrosis)

19
Q

Synchondrosis Joints

A

hyaline cartilage connects bones

no movement allowed (synarthrosis)

seen in rib #1 and sternum, epiphyseal plate

20
Q

Symphysis Joints

A

fibrocartilage connects bones

little movement allowed (amphiarthrosis)

seen in intervertebral discs; pubis symphysis
