True.

43
Q

Joints are classified based on:

  1. …
  2. …
A
  1. Structure

2. Function

44
Q

List the 3 types of joints based on structure.

A
  1. fibrous–consist of fibrous connective tissue eg. cranial sutures
  2. cartilaginous-consists of fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage eg. between ribs & sternum

A

articular cartilage (hyaline cartilage)

46
Q

The types of joints based on function are:

Diarthrosis / Synovial

knee

48

Fibrous outer layer that surrounds the joint cavity.

50
Q

What does the synovial membrane do?

A

secretes synovial fluid which lubricates the joint.

51
Q

Why do we need articular cartilage?

A

Because it is a cartilage pad that functions as a shock absorber inside the joint.

52

A 
joint capsule
synovial membrane
articular cartilage
menisci
ligaments
fat pads
bursae
54
Q

What are the bursae?

A

Small sacks of connective tissue filled with synovial fluid. Function as a cushion between tendons, ligaments, and the surrounding tissues.

55
Q

What do fat pads do?

A

protect the articular cartilage by serving as packing material.

fill the spaces created in the joint during movement.

56
Q

Ligaments of the knee are found _____ and ___ of the joint. Function to ____ bone to bone.

A

inside / outside

attach

57
Q

Menisci

A

fibrocartilage pads that act as shock absorbers in the knee

58
Q

Describe flexion.

A

movement that decreases the angle between two articulating bones.

61
Q
