Ch. 7 Flashcards
An immovable joint such as a suture, gomphosis, and synchondrosis
Synarthrosis
A slightly moveable joint, in which the articulating bony surfaces are separated by fibrous connective tissue or fibrocartilage to which both are attached.
Types are syndesmosis and symphysis
Amphiarthrosis
A freely moveable joint
Types are gliding, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket
Diarthrosis
An immovable fibrous joint that joins skull bones
Suture
A slightly moveable joint in which articulating bones are United by fibrous connective tissue
Syndesmosis
A fibrous joint in which a cone-shaped peg fits into a socket
Gomphosis
A cartilaginous joint in which the connecting material is hyaline cartilage
Synchondrosis
A line of union
A slightly moveable cartilaginous joint such as the pubic symphysis
Symphysis
Dense regular connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
Ligament
Secretion of synovial membranes that lubricates joints and nourishes Articular cartilage
Synovial fluid
Fibrocartilage pad between articular surfaces of bones of some synovial joints.
Also called meniscus
Articular disc
A procedure for examining the interior of a joint, usually the knee, by inserting an arthroscope into a small incision.
Used to determine extent of damage, remove torn cartilage, repair cruciate ligaments, and obtain samples for analysis
Arthroscopy
A synovial joint having articulating surfaces that are usually flat, permitting only side-to-side and back and forth movements, as between carpal bones, tarsal bones, and the scapula and clavicle. Also called an arthrodial joint
Gliding joint
There is an increase or a decrease in the angle between articulating bones. The principle angular movements are flexion, extension, abduction, and addiction
Angular movements
Moving a bone around it own axis, with no other movement
Rotation
