Ch. 9 - Joints Flashcards
What are the 3 structural classifications of joints?
fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
What are the 3 functional classifications of joints?
synarthrosis (immoveable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), diarthrosis
What are 3 structural types of fibrous joints?
sutures, syndesmoses, interosseous membranes
What are 2 types of cartilaginous joints?
synchondroses, symphyses
What are some features of synovial joints?
- synovial cavity that separates bones
- diarthrosis; considerable movement
- articulating surfaces of bones covered by articular (hyaline) C
- does not bind bones together
What are the components of synovial joints?
articular capsules with fibrous membrane and synovial membrane layers
What is synovial fluid?
contains interstitial fluid contents and hyaluronic acid
- supplies Ccytes of articular C with O2 and nutrients via diffusion; lubricates joint to reduce friction; contains phagocytes to remove debris and microbes
What are accessory ligaments?
not part of synovial cavity; surrounding
What are articular discs? (menisci)
pads of fibroC that allow 2 bones of different shapes to fit tightly
What are bursae?
fluid filled sacs found outside synovial joints that reduce friction in some joints
*between skin, tendons, muscles, ligaments, bones
What are the 5 categories of movement?
gliding, angular, rotation, special movements of mandible, special movements of hands/feet
What are the 6 types of angular movements?
flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
What are the 4 special movements of the mandible?
elevation, depression, protraction, retraction
What are the 5 special movements of hands/feet?
supination, pronation, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, opposition
What are the 5 special movements of hands/feet?
supination, pronation, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, opposition
What other body parts have similar movements of the mandible?
shoulder, hyoid, ribs
What is the difference between dorsiflexion and plantar flexion?
D - standing on heel, toes point up
P - standing on tip toes
What is opposition?
movement of thumb to touch fingertips on same hand
What are the 6 types of synovial joints?
planar, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball-and-socket
