Q

A

Distal articulation between the tibia and fibula.

18
Q

A symphysis is a joint connected by a broad, flat { } disc.

A

Fibrocartilage

19
Q

Give 2 examples of a symphysis.

A

1) Intervertebral discs
2) Pubic symphysis

20
Q

Synathroses, also called { } joints, are { } movable.

A

1) Synovial
2) Freely

21
Q

Space that separates articulating bones.

A

What is the synovial cavity?

22
Q

Hyaline cartilage that covers the surface of an articulation (epiphysis) to reduce friction.

A

What is articular cartilage?

23
Q

Sleeve that encloses the synovial cavity and unites bones.

A

What is the articular capsule?

24
Q

Name the 2 layers of the articular capsule and what makes them distinct.

A

1) Outer - fibrous tissue
2) Inner - synovial membrane (makes synovial fluid)

25
Q

These provide extra strength inside and outside the capsule.

A

What are accessory ligaments?

26
Q

Pads of fibrocartilage shaped to fit between bone surfaces.

A

What are articular discs/menisci?

27
Q

Fluid-filled sacs inside the synovial cavity to reduce high friction stress points.

A

What are bursae?

28
Q

This type of joint goes side to side.

A

What is plane/gliding?

29
Q

This type of joint swings back and forth like a door.

A

What is hinge?

30
Q

This joint is a rounded surface within a ring formed by another bone and the adjoining ligament.

A

What is pivot?

31
Q

This joint is an oval condyle in a cavity.

A

What is condyloid/ellipsoid?

32
Q

This joint is very similar to legs on a saddle.

A

What is saddle?

33
Q

This joint is very similar to a ball in a cup.

A

What is ball-and-socket?

34
Q

“Microscopic” surgery using small incisions and minimal cutting.

A

What is arthroscopy?

35
Q

Joint replacement.

A

What is arthroplasty?

36
Q

Knee injuries, such as ACL and meniscal tears, require the use of…

A

Surgical grafts

37
Q

A displaced bone due to the tearing of ligaments, tendons, or articular capsules.

A

What is dislocation?

38
Q

A circumduction-related injury seen in baseball pitchers, causing damage to the muscles and tendons of the glenohumeral joint.

A

What is a rotator cuff tear?

39
Q

Degenerative, bone-on-bone inflammation, swelling, and pain.

A

What is osteoarthritis?

40
Q

An autoimmune disorder where the synovial joint’s soft tissues get replaced with bone and fuse together.

A

What is rheumatoid arthritis?

41
Q

The acute or chronic inflammation of bursae due to high friction, causing swelling and pain.

A

What is bursitis?

42
Q

What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?

A

Sprain - ligament tear
Strain - muscle tear
