Exam 2 Review
Another name for joint is
articulation
A joint is…
anywhere two bones meet, whether or not the bones are movable.
Arthrology is the science of…
joint structure, function and dysfunction
Kinesiology is the study of…
musculoskeletal movement
What are the four major joint types?
- Bony
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Another name for a bony joint is
synostosis
Define:
bony joint/synostosis
An imovable joint formed when the gap between two bones ossifies and the bones become one.
Give 3 examples of synostosis joints
- frontal and mandibular bones in infants
- crainal sutures in elderly
- attachment of first rib and sternum with old age
Fibrous joints are also known as
synarthrosis or synarthrodial joints
What are the 3 kinds of fibruous joints?
- sutures
- gomphoses
- syndesmoses
Define:
suture joints
Immovable or slightly movable fibrous joints that closely bind the bones of the skull to each other.
What are the 3 classifications of sutures?
Briefly describe
- Serrate - interlocking wavy lines
- Lap (squamous) - overlapping beveled edges
- Plane (butt) - straight non-overlapping edges
Name the serrate sutures
- sagittal
- coronol
- lamboid
Name the Lap sutures
- Squamous
What is an example of a plane suture?
The palatine process of the maxillae
Dovetail wood joint = ________ suture.
serrate
A wood miter joint = ________ suture.
Lap
A wood butt joint = _________ suture.
Plane
What type of joint attaches a tooth to its socket?
Gomphosis
Teeth are held in place by
periodontal ligaments
Define a syndesmosis joint
A fibrous joint where two bones are bound by long collagenous fibers called an interosseus membrane
Where are interosseus membranes found?
- between ulna and humerus
- between tibia and fibula
The interosseus membrane between the ulna and radius allows for what kind of movement?
supination and pronation
Cartilaginous joints are also known as
amphiarthrosis or amphiarthroidal joints
Where are cartilaginous joints found?
anywhere two bones are linked by cartilage
What are the two types of cartiliginous joints?
- Synchrondroses
- Symphyses
Synchondrosis joints are bound by
hyaline cartilage
What are two exampes of synchrondrosis joints?
- clavical to sternum
- epiphyseal plates
Symphysis joints are two bones joined by
fibrocartilage
Give two examples of symphysis joints
- pubic symphysis
- intervertabral discs
A synovial joint is also known as a
diarthrosis or diarthrodial joint
What is a diarthrodial joint?
A joint in which two bones are separated by a space called a joint cavity
True or False
Synovial joints have the most range of motion.
TRUE
