Q

sutures

A

found only between the bones of the skull

  • fibers between the bones are very short
  • Synarthrotic
  • Used for growth but eventually they fuse into synostoses (bony junctions)

Q

syndesmoses

A
  • fibers between the bones are slightly longer and the bones are connected by the ligament
  • amphiarthrotic joints
  • Ex. distal tibial-fibular joint or ankle and distal radial-ulna joint or writst

Q

Synovial joints

A

bones are separated by a fluid containing joint cavity which allows for a large degree of movement.

  • Diarthrotic joints
  • Fluid used is synovial fluid

rotation

A

turning the bone around its on axis

pronation

A

movement of the ulna and radius that by rotating the forearm, the palm faces posteriorly

33
Q

inversion

A

special movement of the foot that causes the sole of the foot to move medially

34
Q

eversion

A

special movement of the foot that causes the sole of the foot to turn laterally

35
Q

protraction

A

the anterior movement of a body part in the transverse plane (pushing jaw out)

36
Q

retraction

A

the posterior movement of a body part in the transverse plane

37
Q

elevation

A

movement that raises a body part vertically in the frontal plane

38
Q

depression

A

movement that lowers a body part in the frontal plane (jaw dropping)

39
Q

excursion

A

lateral - movement of mandible away from midline

medial- movement of mandibal toward the midline position

40
Q

opposition

A

movement of the thumb to touch the tips of the fingers on the same hand

41
Q

hinge joint

A

looks like a hinge and usually only able to do flexion and extension

42
Q

plane joint

A

flat surface of 1 slights over the flat surface of another

43
Q

pivot joint

A

rounded end on 1 bone fits into sleeve like structure of another

44
Q

condiloid joint

A

allows rounded edges to “rock”

45
Q

ball and socket joint

A

ball in socket and is mostly freely movable

46
Q

What are some injuries of the joint?

A

sprain - ligaments surrounding joints are stretched or torn

dislocation

47
Q

What are some diseases of the joint?

A

osteoarthritis
rheumatoid arthritis
gouty arthritis

48
Q

arthritis

A

inflammation and degeneration of the joint

49
Q

osteoarthritis

A

most common and occurs as we age. Bone on bone comes into contact forming bone spurs

50
Q

Rheumatoid arthritis

A

autoimmune disease (immune system destroys joints and can happen at any point

51
Q

Gouty arthritis

A

gout
build up of uric acid crystals
happens typically in joints furthest away from their heart
crystals can cut the soft tissues
