Ch. 9- Intro to Joints Flashcards
What are the 2 classifications of joints?
1) functional
2) structural
What is the functional classification based on?
Joint range of motion
What are the 3 functional classifications of joints?
1) synarthrosis
2) amphiarthrosis
3) diarthrosis
What is synarthrosis?
Immovable joints
What are the 3 types of synarthrosis joints?
1) fibrous joints
2) cartilaginous joints
3) bony fusion joints
True or false
Fibrous and cartilaginous connections (in synarthrosis joints) may fuse over time and become synosotis joints
True
What are the 2 types of fibrous joints in synarthrosis joints?
1) suture joints
2) gomphosis joint
What is a type of cartilaginous joint in synarthrosis joints?
Synchondrosis joint
What are synchondrosis joints?
2 bones joined by hyaline cartilage
Exs:
epiphyseal growth plates of long bones
Between costal cartilage of the first rib and manubrium
What is a type of bony fusion joints?
Synostosis joints
What are synostosis joints?
Created when 2 bones, once seperated, fuse and boundary between them disappear
Exs:
Left and right mandible
Left and right frontal bones
Epiphyses and diaphysis of long bones
What is an amphiarthrosis joint?
Slightly moveable joint
What are 2 types of amphiarthrosis joints?
1) fibrous joint
2) cartilaginous joints
What is type of fibrous joint in amphiarthrosis joints?
Syndesmosis joints
What are syndesmosis joints?
Bones are connected by ligaments, cords in a band of fibrous sheets (interosseous membrane)
Exs:
Interosseous membrane b/n radius and Ulna and b/n tibia and fibula
