Articulations/Joints Flashcards
Classification of Joints
Functional and Structural
Synarthrosis
No Movement (Fibrous)
Amphiarthrosis
Small Movement
Diarthrosis
Most Mobile (Synovial)
Examples of Synarthrosis
Sutures (interlocking skull), Gomphosis (Tooth socket), Synchodroses (Cartilage), Synotoses (Fused Bones)
Examples of Amphirathrosis
Syndesmosis (Ligaments), Symphsis (Fibrous Cartilage)
Examples of Diarthrosis
Long Bones, Articular Capsules lined with Synovial Membrane
Articular Cartilage
Smooth Surface, No Perichondrium, Rough if matrix breaks down
Synovial Membrane
Separates cartilage, Lubricates joints
Meniscus (Articular Disk)
Distributes weight and creates a even plane
Fat Pads
Protects the Cartilages
Ligaments
Connects Bone to Bone, Supports Bones
Intracapsular
In Joint Ligament
Extracapsular
Outside Ligament
Sprain
Torn Ligament
Tendon
Connects Muscle to Bone
Bursae
Pocket of Synovial Fluid
Dislocation/ Luxation
Surfacing forced out of position
Subluxation
Partial Dislocation
Structures of Joints
Fibrous, Synovial, Cartilage
Fibrous
Sutures, Syndesmosis, Gomphoses
Synovial
Plane, Hinge, Piviot, Ball and Socket ect…
Cartilage
Synchondrosis, Symonsese
MonAxial
1
BiAxial
2
MultiAxial
Many
Linear Motion
Gliding, ex. Carpal/Tarsal
Angular Motion
Angle at Joint, Ex. Majority of Joints
Abduction
Away
Adduction
Toward
Flexion
Angle Decrease
Extension
Angle Increase
Circumduction Motion
Tip Station, Shaft ex Shoulder
Rotation Motion
Spin in one place ex Head Neck
Pronation/Supnation
Radius over Ulna
Inversion/extursion
Sole of feet
Plantar/Dorsi-Flextion
Ankle Flexion
Opposition/Reposition
Thumb
Protration/Retraction
Ant. Post. Plane
Elevation/ Depression
Superior/Inferior
Lateral Flaxion
Vertebral column
Gliding/Plantar Joints
Limited Motion, Flattened/ Slightly Curved Ex. Clavicle, Inner-carpal, Tarsal
Hinge Joints
Angular motion, Monaxial, Ex. Elbow Knee Ankle
Pivot Joints
Rotation only, Monaxial
Ellipsoid/Condaioid Joints
Oval Articular Face, Biaxial ex. Meta carpal phalange
Saddle Joint
Two Congave, Straddled Biaxial ex. Thumb
Ball & Socket
Round Axial Face (Triaxial) ex. Shoulder
Symphyseal Joints
Vertebrae
Intervetebral Discs
Fibrous Cartilage that separated cartilage
Annulus Fibrosus
Tough Outer Layer
Nucleus Pulposus
Elastic, Gelatinous Core
Slipped Disk
Bulge in the Outer layer (Annulus Fibrous)
Herniated Disk
Nucleus pops through the Outer layer (annulus Fibrous)
Shoulder Joint
Gleno-Humrous Joint
Elbow Joint
Humero-Ulnar Joint/ Humero-Radial Joint
Hip Joint
Ball and Socket/ Femur and Acetabulum
Knee Joint
Complicated Hinge Joint, 7 Ligaments
