Ch. 9 Skeletal System: Articulations Flashcards
What are motion joint classifications (3) based on?
the range of motion allowed between articulating bones (synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthrosis)
How much movement in synarthrosis joint?
NO movement allowed
How much movement in amphitarthrosis joint?
SOME movement allowed
How much movement in a diarthrosis joint?
ALL movement allowed
What are all the joint motion classifications (3) based on?
their structural features (fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial)
What tissue makes fibrous joints? Space? Movement classes possible?
dense regular collagenous tissue (DRCT) WITHOUT a joint space that joins bones and can be synarthroses or amphiarthroses
What are cartilaginous joints?
bones joined by cartilage WITHOUT a joint space and can be synarthroses or amphiarthroses
what joints are ligaments (DRCT) that join bones & have a layer of hyaline cartilage on their articulating surfaces and are all diarthroses?
synovial joints
What exists in the joint space of a synovial joint?
a fluid-filled cavity between the bones
What are the classes of fibrous (3) joints?
suture, gomphoses, syndesmoses
the joints between bones in the cranium once fused, very stable; immoveable; DRCT
suture
immoveable joint between each tooth & bony socket (ex. periodontal ligament)
gomphoses
periodontal ligament
fibrous membrane linking tooth to alveolar jaw bone (is fibrous gomphoses)
Fibrous syndesmoses
slightly moveable joint between radius/ulna, tibia/fibula (ligament is DRCT)
What are the classes of cartilaginous (2) joints? (one is bound by hyaline; other is bound by fibrocartilage)
synchondroses (hyaline-bound) and symphyses (fibrocartilage-bound)
synchondroses
linked by hyaline cartilage (epiphyseal plate, costochondral joint, first sternocostal joint) all are synarthroses
location of costochondral joint
between ribs & costal cartilages
what joints are linked by a fibrocartilaginous pad or plug (ex. invertebral joint, pubic symphysis) all are amphiarthroses
symphysis joints
What are the movement types of synovial joints (6)?
plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball-to-socket (stability —> range of motion)
What’s an example of a synovial joint?
knee joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint
What are the key parts of a synovial joint? (3)
articular capsule, a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid, and articular cartilage
articular capsule (part of + layer function)
part of synovial joint;
double-layered:
outer(stabilize)
inner(secrete synovial fluid)
What does the outer layer of an articular capsule consist of?
- fibrous layer
- stabilizes bones
What does the inner layer of an articular capsule consist of? Function?
synovial membrane, its cells secrete synovial fluid
What is the function of a synovial cavity? (filled with synovial fluid)
part of synovial joint; lubricates, absorbs shock, and transports nutrients/removes waste
another name for hyaline cartilage; provides a smooth, low-friction surface for articulating bones
articular cartilage
What are the stabilizing features of synovial joints? (3)
ligaments (bone-to-bone)
tendons (muscle-to-bone),
bursae (synovial capsules in high stress areas)
+ tendon sheaths (long bursa that protects sliding tendons)
