Q

ligaments (w/ ACL example)

A

bands of dense regular C.T. (like tendons) that join one bone to another bone. Ligaments can blend with other C.T. to become part of a joint capsule, or they can run inside or outside the joint.

example: The ACL (ligament) lies inside the knee joint, whereas the patellar ligament is outside the joint.

Q

A

pads of dense fibrocartilage found between articular surfaces where hyaline cartilage predominates

Q

How man synovial joints? Details

A

There are 6 types of synovial joints based on the shapes of the articulating bone surfaces.
–Not all synovial joints have all (or any) accessory structures like ligaments and bursae – some of them are quite simple.

31
Q

Planar joint

A

type of synovial joint.

In a planar joint, the articulating surface is flat or slightly curved, permitting back and forth and side-to-side
movements.

32
Q

hinge joint

A

type of synovial joint.

In a hinge joint, the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another, producing an opening and closing action like a hinge.

33
Q

pivot joint

A

type of synovial joint.

In a pivot joint, the rounded surface of one bone articulates with a ring structure formed by another bone and a ligament (allowing rotation around its longitudinal axis).

34
Q

condyloid joint

A

Type of synovial joint.

In a condyloid joint, the convex oval-shaped projection of one bone fits into the oval-shaped depression of another bone (allowing movement around two axes).

35
Q

Saddle joint

A

type of synovial joint.

In a saddle joint, the articular surface of one bone is saddle-shaped. This is really a modified condyloid joint, but the range of motion is expanded to include movement around all 3 axes.

36
Q

ball-and socket joint

A

type of synovial joint.

In a ball-and-socket joint, the ball surface of one bone fits into a cup-like depression of another bone.
These joints allows the most movement of any joint.
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint – it has the most range of motion of any joint in the body.

37
Q

Range of motion defition

A

the range, measured in degrees of a circle, through which the bones of a joint can be moved.

38
Q

what affects range of motion?

A
  1. Structure or shape of the articulating bones. The shape of the articulating bones determines how closely they fit together.
  2. The arrangement, strength and tension of the muscles and joint ligaments
  3. Contact of soft parts
  4. hormones
  5. disuse
39
Q

how do hormones affect ROM?

A

Relaxin increases the flexibility of the pubic symphysis and loosens the ligaments between the sacrum and hip bone toward the end of pregnancy.

40
Q

how does disuse affect ROM?

A

Movement may be restricted if a joint has not been used for an extended period.

41
Q

Joint movement: gliding

A

relatively flat bone surfaces move back-and-forth and from side-to-side with respect to one another.

They are limited in range since there is no significant alteration of the angle between the bones.

Typical of the intercarpal joints

42
Q

Joint movement: angular movement

A

there is an increase or a decrease in the angle between articulating bones.

43
Q

Joint movement: rotation

A

a bone revolves around its own longitudinal axis.

Turning the head from side to side as when you shake your head “no”

44
Q

Joint movement: special movement

A
  • elevation
  • depression
  • protraction
  • retraction
  • inversion
  • eversion
  • dorsiflexion
  • plantar flexion
45
Q

Joint movement: angular movement - flexion

A

46
Q

Joint movement: angular movement - Extension

A

increase in the angle

47
Q

Joint movement: angular movement - abduction

A

movement away from the midline.

48
Q

Joint movement: angular movement - adduction

A

movement towards the midline.

49
Q

circumduction

A

movement of a body part in a circle.

50
Q

A

is an upward movement of a body part.

Closing the mouth

51
Q

Joint movement: special movement- depression

A

is a downward movement of a body part.

52
Q

Joint movement: special movement- protraction

A

is movement of a body part anteriorly, Thrusting the mandible outward

53
Q

Joint movement: special movement- retraction

A

is movement back to normal.

54
Q

A

movement of the foot medially.

55
Q

Joint movement: special movement- eversion

A

moving the foot laterally.

56
Q

Joint movement: special movement- dorsiflexion

A

bending of the foot at the ankle in an upward direction.

57
Q

Joint movement: special movement- plantar flexion

A

bending the foot at the ankle in a downward direction.

58
Q

Joint movement: special movement- supination

A

movement of the forearm so that the palm is turned upward.

59
Q

Joint movement: special movement- pronation

A

movement of the forearm so that the palm is turned downward.

60
Q

Joint movement: special movement- opposition

A

movement of our magnificent opposable thumb across the palm to touch the tips of the fingers on the same hand.

61
Q

Important, representative joints of the body

A
  • The temporomandibular joint
  • The shoulder joint
  • The elbow joint
  • The hip joint
  • The knee joint
62
Q

Important, representative joints of the body- The temporomandibular joint

A

The temporomandibular joint is a combined hinge and planar joint formed by the mandible and the temporal bone - it is the only movable joint between the skull bones.

63
Q

Important, representative joints of the body-The shoulder joint

A

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint formed by the head of the humerus and the scapula.

64
Q

Important, representative joints of the body-The elbow joint

A

The elbow joint is a hinge joint formed by the humerus, the ulna, and the radius.

65
Q

Important, representative joints of the body-The hip joint

A

The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint formed by the femur and the os coxae.

66
Q

Important, representative joints of the body-The knee joint

A

The knee joint is a modified hinge joint. It is the largest and most complex joint of the body.

67
Q

By age 80, what happens to the body?

A

almost everyone develops some type of degeneration in the knees, elbows, hips, and shoulders.

68
Q

Aging results in what?

A
  • Thinning of articular cartilage
  • Decreased production of synovial fluid in joints
  • Loss of ligament strength and flexibility
69
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

at least partially age-related.

70
Q

Joint arthroplasty?

A

surgical implantation of an artificial joint to counter some effects of aging
-most commonly replaced: hips, knees, and shoulders

71
Q

Partial hip replacement?

A

involve only the femur,

72
Q

Total hip replacement?

A

involve both the acetabulum and head of the femur.

73
Q

Potential complications of arthroplasty?

A

include infection, blood clots and nerve injury.

74

A
  • femoral component
  • tibial component with a plastic spacer
