Ch9 Flashcards
Arthrology
A science concerned with (The Study of Joints)
Articulation
Any place where 2 bones meet
-meetup point/joint will always contain hyaline Cartilage to reduce friction
Classifications of Joints(Structural)-3
1.Fibrous
2. Cartilaginous
3. Synovial
Fibrous Joints
Sutures
Gomphosis
Syndesmoses
Sutures- fibrous
Collagen fibers of skull that connect/stitch/binds the different bones of skull
-Collagen fibers are very short joints
Gomphosis- fibrous
Joints between tooth and surrounding bones of Mandible and maxilla
Periodontal ligaments- fibrous
Collagen fibers that bind teeth to maxilla/mandible
Periodontal Nerves
Sensory neurons of mouth that are activated by pressure of biting down on something. These neurons tell the brain how much bite force is needed for whatever is being bitten down on, so that the brain puts out a proper signal to the mouth on how much force is needed for the bite.
Propreoception
Ability to adjust body’s actions based on input to brain
-makes possible for you to adjust bite strength
Syndesmoses- fibrous
InterOsseous Membrane
-Acts as a Dense Regular Connective Tissue (collagen) band Found between Radius/Ulna & Tibia/Fibula that binds both of these pairs of bones together
-Collagen Strands are short (but longer than suture)
Cartilaginous Joints (4)
-Costal Cartillages (Cartilage that connects ribs to sternum)
-Intervertebral Discs
-Pubic Symphysis
-Epiphyseal Plates
Synovial Joints
Name of cavity found between joints
Synovial Fluid
Fluid secreted by synovial membrane
Synovial Membrane
Inner part of synovial joint composed of Synoviocytes (simple squamous cells that produces/secretes viscus fluid).
Fibrous Capsule
Collagen filled capsule that keeps the ends of 2 bones from being pulled apart
-Also protects the joint to some degree
