Articulations of pectoral girdle Flashcards
1
Q
Joints
A
site of articulations between bones
2
Q
3 functional joint types
A
- synovial = diarthrosis/freely moveable
- cartilaginous = amphiarthroses/slightly moveable
- fibrous = synarthrosis/immovable
3
Q
Synovial joints
A
- motion & flexibility
- contains synovial fluid
- articular hyaline cartilage covering articulating surfaces
- joint capsule
4
Q
Joint capsule parts
A
- outer fibrous membrane
- inner synovial membrane
5
Q
synovial membrane of joint capsule
A
- attaches at margin of joint surfaces between cartilage and bone
- produces synovial fluid
- lines synovial bursae also
6
Q
Synovial bursae
A
- contain synovial fluid
- acts as a cushion to reduce friction
- located between tissues (tendon/muscle/bone)
7
Q
Fibrous membrane
A
surrounds and stabilises joint parts thicken to form ligaments
8
Q
ligaments
A
bone to bone
9
Q
tendons
A
muscle to bone
10
Q
uniaxial movement
A
movement in a single plane
11
Q
biaxial
A
movement in 2 planes
12
Q
multiaxial
A
movement in 3 planes
13
Q
Types of synovial joints
A
- plane/flat
- hinge
- ball-and-socket
- saddle
- pivot
- ellipsoid/condyloid
14
Q
plane joint
A
- flat articular surfaces
- bones slide
- Acromioclavicular joint
15
Q
Hinge joint
A
- resembles door hinge
- flexion and extension
- elbow, interphalangeal joints
