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
Functions of Synovial Fluid
- Slippery to reduce friction between articulating bones and preserve Hyaline Cartillage.
- Thick to absorb shock
- Median for diffusion of nutrients and gases into joint
Bursa (sack)
Act as pillows filled with synovial fluid that cushon structures (soft tissues) between small spaces between acromion and head of humerus and structures between joints
-also slippery( reduce friction)
Bursa…… continued
Reduce friction between tendons, ligaments, and bones found at glenohumeral joint
-cushon structures that may get affected by range of motion in shoulder
-Found within Synovial joints
Tendon Sheats
Reduces friction as tendons are being pulled on by muscle
-tendon sheaths are tubes that encase/ act as cover for tendons
OsteoArthritis
Wear and tear of articular/Hyaline Cartillage between joints
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Auto immune disease where immune cells attack articular Cartillage between joints.
-Causes thickening of synovial capsule that makes visible swelling possible
- causes misalignment to synovial joint as muscles pull on bone and loss of shape of articular Cartillage causes bones to connect.
Rheumatoid Factor (protein)
Protein that attacks articular Cartillage found at joints that will eventually cause synovial capsule to thicken.
Arthoplasty
Process of replacing joints with man made material due to extremely damaged joints losing function.
Synchondroses
Epiphyseal plate, long bone growth
Outer Layer of Synovial Capsule
Made of dense regular connective tissue
Inner Layer of Synovial Capsule
Composed of Synoviocytes (simple squamous cells)
