crescent-shaped pads of fibrous cartilage that lie between the articular surfaces of the bones and are attached to the fibrous layer of the articular capsule

54
Q

what is the function of the menisci?

A
  • bind strongly to the inside of the fibrous layer and usually subdivide the synovial cavity into two spaces, allowing separate movements to occur in each space
  • shock absorption
  • better fit btwn articulating bony surfaces
  • providing adaptable surfaces for combined movements
  • weight distribution over a greater contact surface
  • distribution of synovial fluid across the articular surfaces of the joint
55
Q

what is a labrum?

A

found in ball-and-socket joints

ring-like fibrous cartilage lip that extends from the circumference of the joint socket

56

65
Q

what are the four main categories of movements at synovial joints?

A
  1. gliding
  2. angular
  3. rotation
  4. special movements
66
Q

what is gliding?

A
  • nearly flat bone surfaces move back-and-forth and from side-to-side with respect to one another
  • limited in range due to the structure of the articular capsule and associated ligaments and bones
  • can be combined with rotation
67
Q

Where do gliding movements occur?

A
  • intercarpal joints
  • intertarsal joints
68
Q

what are angular movements?

A

an increase or a decrease in the angle between articulating bones

69
Q

What are two examples of flexion that do not occur along the sagittal plane?

A
  • flexion of the thumb towards opposite side of palm
  • movement of trunk sideways at the waist (lateral flexion)
70
Q

what is hyperextension?

A

a clinical condition associated with injury, used to describe a movement beyond the normal range of motion

ex. may occur at joints such as the elbow, interphalangeal joints, and knee joint

71
Q

what is circumduction?

A

movement of the distal end of a body part in a circle

  • not an isolated movement by itself but rather a continuous sequence of the other movements
  • does not occur along a separate axis or plane of movement
72
Q

what is rotation?

A

Movement of bone around longitudinal axis

73
Q

what is a plane joint?

A

arthrodial joint

articulating surface of bones are flat or slightly curved
- primarily permit back-and-forth and side-to-side movements between the flat surfaces of bones, but they may also rotate against one another
- many are biaxial

74
Q

what is a hinge joint?

A

a joint where convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone

  • produce an angular, opening-and-closing motion
  • many are uniaxial
75
Q

what is a pivot joint?

A

trochoid joint

  • rounded or pointed surface of one bone articulates with a ring formed partly by another bone and partly by a ligament
  • uniaxial
76
Q

79
Q

What are the factors that affect contact and range of motion at synovial joints?

A
  1. structure&shape of articulating bones
  2. strength&tension of joint ligaments
  3. arrangement&tension of muscles
  4. contact of soft parts
  5. hormones
    6.disuse
80
Q

what is range of motion?

A

amount of movement, measured in degrees of a circle, through which the bones of a joint can move

81
Q

how does structure and shape of articulating bones affect ROM at synovial joints?

A

The structure or shape of the articulating bones determines how closely they can fit together

82
Q

how does strength and tension of joint ligaments affect ROM at synovial joints?

A

The different components of an articular capsule are tense or taut only when the joint is in certain positions
- Tense ligaments not only restrict the range of motion but also direct the movement of the articulating bones with respect to each other

83
Q

how does arrangement and tension of the muscles affect ROM at synovial joints?

A

Muscle tension reinforces the restraint placed on a joint by its ligaments, and thus restricts movement.

84
Q

how does contact of soft parts affect ROM at synovial joints?

A

The point at which one body surface contacts another may limit mobility.

85
Q

how do hormones affect ROM at synovial joints?

A

hormones can induce changes in the cartilages and ligaments changing the function of the joint

(ex. relaxin, a hormone produced by the placenta and ovaries, increases the flexibility of the fibrous cartilage of the pubic symphysis and loosens the ligaments, permitting expansion of the pelvic outlet, which assists in delivery of the baby.)

86
Q

how does disuse affect ROM at synovial joints?

A

Movement at a joint may be restricted if a joint has not been used for an extended period. Disuse may also result in decreased amounts of synovial fluid, diminished flexibility of ligaments and tendons, and muscular atrophy, a reduction in size or wasting of a muscle.

87
Q

what are the movements that the temporomandibular joint can make?

A
  • depression-elevation
  • protraction/retraction
  • slight rotation
88
Q

Why does the glenohumeral joint have more freedom of movement than any other joint of the body?

A

The glenohumeral joint is the most freely movable joint in the body because of the looseness of its articular capsule and the shallowness of the glenoid cavity in relation to the size of the head of the humerus.

89
Q

what movements can the glenohumeral joint make?

A
  • flexion-extension
  • abduction-adduction
  • medial/lateral rotation
  • circumduction
90
Q

what is rotator cuff injury?

A
  • a strain or tear in the rotator cuff muscles
  • due to shoulder movements that involve vigorous circumduction
  • wear and tear, aging, trauma, poor posture, improper lifting, and repetitive motions
91
Q

why is the glenohumeral joint the most commonly dislocated joint in adults?

A

its socket is quite shallow and the bones are held together by supporting muscles

92
Q

what is a separated shoulder?

A

an injury to the acromioclavicular joint due to partial/complete tearing of ligaments

93
Q

what is a torn glenoid labrum?

A

fibrous cartilage labrum may tear away from the glenoid cavity. This causes the joint to catch or feel like it’s slipping out of place

94
Q

what movements can the elbow joint make?

A

flexion and extension

95
Q

what is a tennis elbow?

A

pain at or near the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, usually caused by an improperly executed backhand. The extensor muscles strain or sprain, resulting in pain

96
Q

what is a little league elbow?

A

inflammation of the medial epicondyle, typically develops as a result of a heavy pitching schedule and/or a schedule that involves throwing curve balls

97
Q

what is dislocation of the radial head?

A

head of the radius slides past or ruptures the radial annular ligament
- most apt to occur when a strong pull is applied to the forearm while it is extended and supinated, for instance, while swinging a child around with outstretched arms

98
Q

what movements can the hip joint make?

A

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, lateral rotation medial rotation, and circumduction of the thigh

99
Q

why is the hip joint so stable?

A
  • very strong articular capsule and its accessory ligaments
  • fovea capitis stabilizes the manner in which the femur fits into the acetabulum
100
Q

what is the function of the anterior cruciate ligament?

A

limits hyperextension of the knee and prevents the anterior sliding of the tibia on the femur

101
Q

what is the function of the posterior cruciate ligament?

A

prevents the posterior sliding of the tibia (and anterior sliding of the femur) when the knee is flexed. This is very important when walking down stairs or a steep incline.

102
Q

why are ACL injuries more common in females?

A

may be related to less space between the femoral condyle in females so that the space for ACL movement is limited; the wider pelvis of females that creates a greater angle between the femur and tibia and increases the risk for an ACL tear; female hormones that allow for greater flexibility of ligaments, muscles, and tendons but which do not permit them to absorb the stresses put on them, thus transferring the stresses to the ACL; and females’ lesser muscle strength, causing them to rely more on the ACL to hold the knee in place

103
Q

what is the function of the medial and lateral menisci?

A

help compensate for the irregular shapes of the bones and circulate synovial fluid

104
Q

what is the function of the fibular collateral ligament?

A

strengthens the lateral aspect of the joint

105
Q

what movements can the knee joint make?

A

flexion, extension, slight medial rotation, and lateral rotation of the leg in the flexed position

106
Q

why is the knee joint the most vulnerable joint to damage?

A
  • is a mobile, weight- bearing joint and its stability depends almost entirely on its associated ligaments and muscles
  • no complementary fit between the surfaces of the articulating bones
107
Q

why do knees become swollen after an injury?

A
  • initial swelling due to escape of blood from damaged blood vessels adjacent to areas of injury, including rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, damage to synovial membranes, torn menisci, fractures, or collateral ligament sprains
  • Delayed swelling due to excessive production of synovial fluid, a condition commonly referred to as “water on the knee”
108
Q

why is the firm attachment of the tibial collateral ligament to the medial meniscus clinically important?

A

because tearing of the ligament typically also results in tearing of the meniscus
- Such an injury may occur in sports when the knee receives a blow from the lateral side while the foot is fixed on the ground
- The force of the blow may also tear the ACL, which is also connected to the medial meniscus

109
Q

what is treatment for knee injuries if no surgery needed?

A

PRICE
P - protection
R - rest
I - ice
C - compression
E - elevation

109
Q

what is an unhappy triad?

A

a knee injury that involves damage at the same time to the:

  1. tibial collateral ligament
  2. medial meniscus
  3. anterior cruciate ligament
109
Q

what is a dislocated knee?

A

the displacement of the tibia relative to the femur
- most common type is dislocation anteriorly, resulting from hyperextension of the knee
- A frequent consequence is damage to the popliteal artery

110
Q

what is the effect of aging in joints?

A
  • decreased production of synovial fluid in joints
  • articular cartilage thinner
  • ligaments shorten and lose flexibility
111
Q

what is rheumatism?

A

any painful disorder of the supporting structures of the body—bones, ligaments, tendons, or muscles—that is not caused by infection or injury

112
Q

what is arthritis?

A

a form of rheumatism in which the joints are swollen, stiff, and painful

113
Q

what is osteoarthritis?

A
  • a degenerative joint disease in which joint cartilage is gradually lost and new osseous tissue are deposited on exposed bone ends in a misquided effort to protect against increased friction
  • wear-and-tear arthritis
114
Q

why are spurs from osteoarthritis bad?

A

spurs decrease the space of the articular cavity and restrict joint movement

115
Q

how is osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis different?

A
  • osteoarthritis affects mainly the articular cartilage
  • osteoarthritis first afflicts the larger joints (knees, hips) and is due to wear and tear
  • rheumatoid arthritis in its early stage first strikes smaller joints (interphalangeal of the hands and feet) and is an active attack on the cartilage

Q

what is rheumatoid arthritis?

A
  • autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks its own tissues—in this case, its own cartilage and joint linings
  • inflammation of the joint, which causes swelling, pain, and loss of function.
  • occurs bilaterally
  • inflammation of the synovial membrane
117
Q

what is pannus?

A

abnormal granulation tissue produced by synovial membrane that adheres to the surface of the articular cartilage and sometimes erodes the cartilage completely. When the cartilage is destroyed, fibrous tissue joins the exposed bone ends. The fibrous tissue ossifies and fuses the joint so that it becomes immovable

118
Q

what is gouty arthritis?

A
  • sodium urate crystals are deposited in the soft tissues of the joints
  • crystals irritate and erode the cartilage, causing inflammation, swelling, and acute pain, eventually destroying all joint tissues
  • if untreated, the ends of the articulating bones fuse, and the joint becomes immovable

Q

what is the bacteria that causes Lyme disease?

A

Borrelia burgdorferi

120
Q

what is a sprain?

A
  • forcible wrenching or twisting of a joint that stretches or tears its ligaments but does not dislocate the bones
  • ligaments are stressed beyond their normal capacity
121
Q

what is a strain?

A

a stretched or partially torn muscle or tendon. It often occurs when a muscle contracts suddenly and powerfully

122
Q

what is tenosynovitis?

A
  • an inflammation of the tendons, tendon sheaths, and synovial membranes surrounding certain joints
  • condition often follows trauma, strain, or excessive exercise

Q

Katie loves pretending that she’s a human cannonball. As she jumps off the diving board, she assumes the proper position before she pounds into the water: head and thighs tucked against her chest; back rounded; arms pressed against her sides while her forearms, crossed in front of her shins, hold her legs tightly folded against her chest. Use the proper anatomical terms to describe the position of Katie’s back, head, and limbs.

A

Katie’s vertebral column, head, thighs, lower legs, lower arms, and fingers are flexed. Her forearms and shoulders are medially rotated. Her thighs and arms are adducted.

Q

During football practice, Jeremiah was tackled and twisted his leg. There was a sharp pain, followed immediately by swelling of the knee joint. The pain and swelling worsened throughout the remainder of the afternoon until Jeremiah could barely walk. The coach told Jeremiah to see a doctor who might want to “drain the water off his knee.” What was the coach referring to and what specifically do you think happened to Jeremiah’s knee joint to cause these symptoms?

A

The knee joint is commonly injured, especially among athletes. The twisting of Jeremiah’s leg could have resulted in a multitude of internal injuries to the knee joint but often football players suffer tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament and medial meniscus. The immediate swelling is due to blood from damaged blood vessels, damaged synovial membranes, and the torn meniscus. Continued swelling is a result of a buildup of synovial fluid, which can result in pain and decreased mobility. Jeremiah’s doctor may aspirate some of the fluid (“draining the water off his knee”) and might want to perform arthroscopy to check for the extent of the knee damage.

Q

After lunch, during a particularly long and dull class video, Antonio became sleepy and yawned. To his dismay, he was then unable to close his mouth. Explain what happened and what should be done to correct this problem.

A

The condylar processes of the mandible passed anteriorly to the articular tubercles of the temporal bones, and this dislocated Antonio’s mandible. It could be corrected by pressing the thumbs downward on the lower molar teeth and pushing the mandible backward.

126
Q

why is the glenohumeral joint the most freely movable joint in the body?

A

because of the looseness of its articular capsule and the shallowness of the glenoid cavity in relation to the size of the head of the humerus
