Ch. 9: Joints Flashcards
joint
articulation where two bones meet, holds bones together, permits movement
what would we look like if we had no moveable joints
we would look like robots
functional classification of joint
synarthrosis
amphiarthrosis
diarthrosis
synarthrotic joint
immovable
cranial sutures and teeth
amphiarthroic joints
slightly moveable joints,
pubic symphysis, and epiphyseal plate
diarthrotic joints
freely moveable
majority of joints
elbow and knee
structural classification of joints
bony
fibrous
cartilage
synovial
bony (synostosis) joints
forms whne ossification occurs in fibrous or cartilage joints
example of bony joints
coxal bone, used to be separated by cartilage then at puberty they fuse together
fibrous joints
fibrous connective tissue
ossify in adult hood
types of fibrous joints
sutures, syndesmosis, and gomphosis
types of suture fibrous joints
serrate, lap, plane
serrate fibrous joints
coronal suture, opposing margins
lap fibrous joints
sphenoid bone, wedges
plane fibrous joints
palatine suture, straight margins
what type of suture fibrous joint is the strongest
serrate
syndesmosis fibrous joints
held together by ligaments
examples of syndesmosis fibrous joints
between fibula and tibia, distal tibiofibular, contains interosseus membrane
interosseus membrane
the thick dense fibral connective tissue layer that spans the space between 2 bones forming a syndesmosis joint
gomphosis fibrous joints
pegs in a socket
example of gomphosis joints
teeth in mandible and maxilla
cartilage joints
two bones joined together, no joint cavity, amphiarthrotic
types of cartilage joints
synchondrosis, symphysis
synchondrosis cartilage joint
most are transitionary, and will ossify, hyaline cartilage
example of synchondrosis joints
epiphyseal plates
