ch 9 articulations Flashcards
athrology
scientific study of joints
what is the relationship between stability and mobility in articulations
the more stalbe, the less mobile. and vice versa
what does it mean for joints to be classified on a structural basis
they are classified based off type of conn tiss and if there is a space between the bones
types of joints classified structurally
fibrous joint, cartilagionous join, synovial joint
types of joints classified by amount of movement permitted
synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthrosis
where does a fibrous join occur
where bones are held together by dense irrg conn tiss
where to cartilaginous joints occur
where bones are joined by cartialge
what is contained in a synovial joint
a fluid filled cavity with synovial fluid that separates cartilage covered articulating surfaces of bones.
what are the articulating surfaces of a synovial joint contained in and what are the bones joined by
a capsule, bones joined by various ligaments
what is a synarthrosis, and how many types/what types of joints are synarthrosis
an immobile joint. 2 fibrous, one cart
amphiarthrosis / how many and what types
slightly mobile. 1 fibrous joint and one cart joint
diarthrosis/ how many and what type
freely mobile joint, all synovial joints are these
what are the three types of fibrous joints
gomphoses, suture, syndesmosis
where are the gomphosis joints in the human body located
only located in articulations of teeth.
what is the gomphosis joint classified as, functionally
synarthrosis
sutures, where do sutures occur and what are they classified as functionally
synarthrosis, only between bones of skull. dense reg conn tiss.
why do sutures have jagged irregular edges
they increase strength and decrease number of fractures
what is synostoses
what sutures becomes when they are completed fused when the individual reaches adulthood
syndesmoses, where do they occur, and what is their functional classification
amphiarthroses, where articulationg bones are joined by dense reg conn tiss.
occur between radius and ulna, and tib and fib.
what type of joint contains interosseous membrane and what is it
syndesmosis. a broad ligamentous sheet that binds two articulating bones together (radius and ulna and tib and fib.
types of cartilaginous joints
synchondroses, symphyses
what type of conn tiss do fibrous joints have
dense regular
what are cartilaginous joints attached by
attached by cartilage
what jiont doesnt have a cavity
cartilaginous
what specifically are synchrodoses joined by
(chondros = cartilage) joined by hyalin cartilage
what are synchondroses labeled as functionally
synarthroses
what is a main distinguishing feature of synchondroses
main feat: hyalin cart of epiphyseal plates in children form these to bind epi to diaphysis in long bones. replaced by bone when they stop growing and eliminate the synchondrosis.
where are synchrondroses located / when do they fuse
spheno-occipital synchrondosis - body of sphenoid and basil part of occipital. fuse between 18-25
first sternocostal joint -attachment of first rib to sternum by costal cartilage. unite to manubrium to stabilize rib cage
costochondral joints - between each rib and its costal cartilage (NOT between ribs and sternum of ribs 2-7, that is synovial)
symphesis, what is its functinoal classification, what is it made of(and its function) and hwere is it
has a pad of fibrocartilage between articulating bones that resists compression and tension/shock.
classified as a amphiarthroses
ex:
-pubic symphesis. becomes more mobile during pregnancy and stops when not pregs
-intervertebral joints, only slight movements to allow spine flexibility
what separates the bones of a synovial joint
a joint cavity
synovial joint locations
glenohumeral (shoulder) joint, temporomandibular joint, elbow, knee
basic distinguishing features of synovial joints
articular capsule, joint cavity, synovial fluid, articular cartilage, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels
parts of articular capsule and what joint is it in
in synovial joints, has fibrous later on outside and synovial membrane on inside
what does aritcular cartilage cover, what kind of cartilage is it
all articulating bone surfaces in a synovial joint, hyalin cartilage
functions of articular cartilage and what does it lack
reduces friction, prevents damage to articulating ends of bones, absorbs compression places on a joint.
lacks a perichondrium
why does articular cartilage need excercise to keep it strong
it is avascular like all mature cartilage, and it cant heal without nutrients and waste removal, so the compression from excercise enhances waste removal and nutrition to keep it healthy.
joint cavity functions and what does it secrete
contains synovial fluid and permits separation of bones. reduces fruction. seretes synovial fluid from synovial membrane and blood plasma
functions of synovial fluid
lubrication, nourishment of chondrocytes, shock absorbtion,
ligaments function and composition
composed of dense reg conn tiss. connect bones to each other and strengthen synovial joints.
extrinsic ligaments vs intrinsice ligaments
outside of articular capsule vs thickenings of the articular capsule itself (extracapsular on surface and intra within)
hiltons law
nerves that innervate a joint also innervate the muscles that move the joint
bursa
fibrous sac that contains synovial fluid and is lined by synovial membrane. alleviate friction
tendon sheath
elongated bursa around tendons wehre there is alot of friction, like around fingers and wrist
fat pads location and function
usually among margins of syn joint, usually in spaces formed when bones and cavities change shape. pack material and protection.
tendons, what are they made of and what do they do
not part of synovial itself. dense reg conn tiss. binds bone to muscle instead of bone to bone like a ligament. stabilize joint
dif btwn tendons and ligaments
tendons are muscle to bone, ligs are bone to bone
classifications of synovial joints by shapes of art surface and the movement they allow
uniaxial, biaxial, multiaxial(triaxial)
uniaxial
moves only along one plane or axis
biaxial
moves along 2 planes or axis
