Ch9 Joints Flashcards
What is a joint (articulation)?
Point where 2 bones meet
Define arthrology
Science of joints
Define kinesiology
Study of musculoskeletal movement
How are joints classified?
- How adjacent bones are bound (anatomy)
- How freely bones can move (physiology)
What are the 4 major joint categories (anatomy)?
- Bony joints
- Fibrous joints
- Cartilaginous joints
- Synovial joints
Define bony joints
Gap between 2 bone ossifies, bone becomes (in effect) single bone
What’s an example of bony joints?
Frontal and mandibular bones in infants
What is the physiology of bony joints?
Synostosis- immovable joint
Fibrous joints are bound by…
Collagen fibers
What are the 3 types of collagen fibers fibrous joints are bound by?
- Sutures
- Gomphoses
- Syndesmoses
Collagen fiber sutures bind bones of…
Skull
Collagen fiber gomphoses bind ___ and is held by ______ which allows _____.
Collagen fiber gomphoses bind TOOTH IN SOCKET and is held by FIBROUS PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT which allows TOOTH TO MOVE A LITTLE UNDER STRESS OF CHEWING.
Collagen fiber syndesmoses is bound by ____ and has ____ collagen fibers so it has ______.
Collagen fiber syndesmoses is bound by TIBIA/FIBULA and has LONGER collagen fibers so it has A BIT MORE MOBILITY.
What is the physiology of fibrous joints?
Synarthroses- immovable or ever-so-slightly movable
Cartilaginous joints are bound by…
What are the 2 types of cartilaginous joints?
Bound by: cartilage
Types= Synchondroses & Symphyses
Cartilaginous joint synchondroses is bound by…
Hyaline cartilage
- first rib/sternum
Cartilaginous joint symphyses is bound by…
Fibrocartilage
- intevertebral discs
- pubic symphysis
What is the physiology of cartilaginous joints?
Physiology= mostly amphiarthroses- slightly moveable
Synovial joints are separated by…
most ____ type of joint
most ____ complex
What are examples?
Synovial joints are separated by: joint CAVITY
most FAMILAR type of joint
most STRUCTURALLY complex
Ex) knee, elbow, knuckle
Synovial joints
________ encloses joint cavity
- continuous with ___________
- lined by….
Synovial joints
ARTICULAR CAPSULE encloses joint cavity
- continuous with PERIOSTEUM
- lined by SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE
Define synovial fluid
Slippery fluid; feeds cartilages
Define articular cartilage
Hyaline cartilage covering joint surfaces
With synovial joints, explain what articular discs and menisci do and examples of them
- Absorbs shock, guides bone movement, distributes forces
ex) jaw, wrist, sternoclavicular, & knee joints
With synovial joints, explain what the bursae does and examples of them
- Cushion muscles, help tendons slide more easily over joints
ex) fibrous sacs with synovial fluid, where tendon passes over bone
With synovial joints, explain what tendon sheaths are and examples of them
- Elongated cylindrical bursae wrapped around tendon
ex) in hand and foot
What is the physiology of synovial joints?
Physiology: diarthroses - freely movable joint
What is a lever?
Any elongated, rigid object that rotates around fixed point called fulcrum
When does the rotation (around fixed point (fulcrum) occur?
Rotation occurs when effort applied overcomes resistance (load) at other point
Long bones are levers to…
Levers to enhance speed or power of limb movements
