Diarthrosis
What does synarthrosis mean?
Immovable joint
What does amphiarthrosis mean?
Slightly moveable joint
Diarthrosis definition
Freely moveable joint (only as free as permitted)
Type of bony fusion:
Synostosis
What degree of movement do bony fusions have?
Synarthrosis (immoveable)
What degree of movement do fibrous joints have?
Synarthrosis (immovable)
Types of fibrous joints
Suture
Gomphosis
Syndesmosis
Types of cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis
Symphysis
Types of synovial joints
Monaxial
Biaxial
Triaxial
Describe a gomphosis fibrous joint
(dentoalveolar)
Synarthrosis joint
What roots teeth into gums
Example of Synostosis
Infant 2 frontal bones fuse into one bone
Describe Syndesmosis fibrous joint
Amphiarthrosis joint
What is the alveolar process?
Socks formed for teeth by the maxilla or mandible
Different names for joints
Articulations and arthrosis
What’s the movement of synchondrosis joints
Synarthrosis
What connects synchondrosis joints to bone?
Hyaline cartilage
Define Synostosis in synchondrosis joint
When epiphyseal plate becomes epiphyseal line
Describe a symphysis joint
In pelvis and between vertebrae, occur in midline of body
Movement of symphysis joints
Amphiarthrosis
What connects symphysis joints with bone
Pads of fibro cartilage
What is the articular capsule of a synovial joint
Fibrous capsule + synovial membrane, looks the same as periosteum
Where is the synovial fluid
Inside joint/synovial cavity
Contents of synovial fluid
Macrophages, possible red blood cells
What’s a bursae
Sacs full of synovial fluid, cushion soft parts of body (tendons) from hard parts (bone)
What connects muscle to bone
Tendon
What connects bone to bone
Ligament
What are tendon sheaths
Tube-like bursae that wrap tendons
