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
