Ch 8 Lec 1 - Articulations Flashcards
these hold bones together but may permit movement
joints
study of joints
arthrology
study of motion
kinesiology
three classifications of joints
synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthrosis
classification of joints based on anatomy
fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
collagen fiber joints
fibrous
cartilage joints
cartilaginous
joint capsule, ligaments, and fluid in this joint
synovial
fibrous joints lack a blank cavity
synovial
little or no movement joints
fibrous joints
three types of fibrous joints
sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses
thin layer of dense fibrous connective tissue unites bones of the skull and are immovable
sutures
if sutures are fused completely then it is called blank
synostosis
blank bones fuse together to become one in humans
frontal
fibrous joint where bones are united by a ligament and slightly movable
syndesmosis
anterior tibiofibular joint and interosseous membrane are these kinds of joints
syndesmosis
ligament holds cone shaped peg in a bony socket and is immovable joint
gomphosis
teeth in alveolar processes of maxillae or mandible are an example of this joint
gomphosis
these joints lack a synovial cavity and allows little or no movement but bones are tightly connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage
cartilage joints
two types of cartilage joints
symphysis, synchondrosis
connecting material is hyaline cartilage and is immovable in this joint
synchondrosis
epiphyseal plate or joints between the ribs and sternum are these kinds of joints
synchondrosis
when fusion of synchondroses it is called
synostosis
