Q

Three functional classifications: (Determined by the amount of mobility)

A
  1. Synarthrosis - immobile
  2. Amphiarthrosis - slightly moveable
  3. Diarthrosis - freely moveable

Q

What are the three types of fibrous joints?

A

Q

What are the two types of cartilaginous joints?

A

Synchondrosis: joined together by hyaline cartilage
Symphysis: bones are joined by fibrocartilage (ex: pubic symphysis)

Q

What are the sutures of a synovial joint?

A
  • Articular capsule (dense irregular connective tissue & joint capsule)
  • Articular cartilage (glassy smooth, spongy cushions, 1mm or less thick, protects bone ends)
  • Synovial membrane (loose connective tissue)
  • Synovial fluid (slippery fluid occupies all free spaces within the joint capsule, filtered from capillaries in the synovial membrane, thins with increased temp due to motion)
  • Joint cavity

Q

compression squeezes synovial fluid out of the articular cartilage. Release allows it back in. Provides lubrication and nutrition.

Q
  • Synovial joints of the body = divided into three categories: 1. Uniaxial: motion in a single plane
    2. Biaxial: motion within two planes
    3. Multiaxial: several directions of movements

17
Q

Types of synovial joints

A
  • pivot joint (between C1 and C2 vertebrae)
  • Hinge joint (elbow)
  • Saddle joint (between trapezium carpal bone and 1st metacarpal bone)
  • Plane joint (between tarsal bones)
  • Condyloid joint (between radius and carpal bones of wrist)
  • Ball-and-socket joint (hip joint)
18
Q

bone rotates within a ring; uniaxial, diarthrosis (atlas/axis)

A

pivot joint

19
Q

flexing and extending motions; uniaxial (elbow, knee, ankle, interphalangeal joints of fingers and toes)

A

hinge joint

20
Q

shallow depression at the end of one bone articulates with a rounded structure from an adjacent bone (radius and carpals)

  • biaxial joint
  • flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and circumduction movements (metacarpophalangeal (knuckle joints of fingers; radiocarpal joint of wrist; metatarsophalangeal joints for toes
A

condyloid joint

21
Q

articulating surfaces for the bones have a saddle shape (trapezium/first metacarpal)

  • biaxial joint
  • flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and circumduction movements (first carpometacarpal joint of the thumb; sternoclavicular joint)
A

saddle joint

22
Q

articulating surfaces of bones are flat or slightly (tarsals)

  • multiaxial joint
  • inversion and eversion of foot, or flexion, extension, and lateral flexion of the vertebral column (intertarsal joints of foot; superior-interior articular process articulations between vertebrae)
A

plane joint

23
Q

rounded head of one bone (the ball) fits into the concave articulation (the socket) of the adjacent bone (hip)
-multiaxial joint; allows flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction, and medial/lateral rotation movements (shoulder and hip joints)

A

ball-and-socket

24
Q

Types of joint movements

A
  • flexion & extension
  • abduction & adduction
  • circumduction
  • rotation
  • supination & pronation
  • dorsiflexion & plantarflexion
  • protraction & retraction
  • depression & elevation
  • excursion: lateral & medial
  • superior and inferior rotation: scapula
  • opposition & reposition
25
Q
  • flexion - bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint
  • extension - reverse of flexion; joint angle is increased
  • abduction - movement away from the midline
  • adduction - movement toward the midline
  • circumduction - movement describes a cone in space
A

Angular movement

26
Q
  • turning of a bone around its own long axis
