Chapter 2&5- Intro to Arthrology Flashcards
1
Q
what are the classifications of joints ?
A
- fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
2
Q
What is Arthrology and what its types ?
A
Arthrology is the the study of Joint
1. A joint (articulation) is formed where 2 or more separate ones
connect
2. designed for movement
3. amount of movement depends on the type of joint
4. joints are typically
- uniaxial - one axis of movement
- biaxial - two axes of movement
- multiaxial - multiple axes of movement ( shoulder and hip)
3
Q
List the feature of fibrous joint ? and how many types does it has ?
A
- the joint is connected by fibrous tissue
- the Degree of movement of a joint is determined by the
amount of fibrous tissue between the two surfaces (or the
articulation surfaces)A. Suture - only occur in the skull - limited movement B. Syndesmosis - bones are connected by a sheet of fibrous tissue - e.g forearm bones - lots of space between the bones therefore lots of movement
4
Q
What is the characteristic of the Cartilaginous Joint ?
A
- the joint is connected by a cartilage or a combination of
cartilage and fibrous tissue. e.g. cartilage connects the ribs
to the breastbone. (has more mobility)
e.g the vertebrae are connected by fibrocartilagenous
intervertebral discs.
e.g the pubic symphysis (jelly bone)
5
Q
List the feature of the synovial fluid ?
A
- most common joint type
- it has 3 features
- joint cavity ( spaces between joint surfaces)
- articular cartilage - shinny white, connective tissue
- protects the underlying bone
- designed to absorb shock (joint forces) allow
movement(smooth surface) and to last (very
tough) (it can still be damaged / wear away
over time )
- no nerves, no blood vessels
- usually hyaline cartilage - joint Capsule - surrounds and lines the joint
- does not cover the articular cartilage
- makes the synovial fluid contained within the Joint
- friction between the 2 joint surfaces is minimized
by lubrication from the synovial fluid and the
articular cartilage
6
Q
Synovial fluid is made by the?
A
Synovial membrane
7
Q
A —helps to cushion the movement of a muscle against bone?
A
Bursa
8
Q

The distribution of weight across a joint
9
Q

Fibrous Cartilage
10
Q
A sac made of synovial and fibrous membranes surrounding a joint is called ?
A
Joint Capsule
11
Q
What are the six types of the synovial fluid ?
A
- Ball and Socket
- multiaxial ( great and broader motion)
- spheroidal surface articulates with socket of other surface
- e.g shoulder(Humerous and Scapula) , hip(Femur and Pelvis)
- Hinges
- uniaxial
- flexion and extension only
- e.g - Humeroulnar joint - Elbow (between Ulna and humerus)
- finger/toes
- Knee (between femur and tibia)- modified Joint
is the knee joint.
- Pivot Joint
-uniaxial- rotation with changing angle
- a rounded process rotates within a sleeve or ring
- e.g. Neck (between C1-C2)
Elbow(between radius and humerus)
- Plane
- sliding or gliding movement
- most are uniaxial
- joint surfaces are flat or almost flat
- e.g - acromioclavicular joint
- joint of ankles or wrists (small bones)
- Condyloid (ellipsoid)
- biaxial
- flexion/extension , abduction/adduction and circumduction)
- e.g knuckles , wrist bone (lower arm and wrist)
- Saddle
- biaxial
- opposing surfaces are shaped like saddles
- concave and convex articulate with each other
- e.g thumb
12
Q
Define Bursa and its properties ?
A
- sac filled with synovial fluid that decrease the friction
generated by the motion of one tissue over another. - normal bursa are flat
- located between - ( - tendons and bony prominences,
- tendons and other tendons
- bone and overlying skin)
13
Q
Define the ligaments and its properties?
A
- ligaments connect bone to bone
- ligaments will check a movement , that will
prevent excessive movement in a specific direction) - movement at a joint is normal but
(excessive movement at a joint is potentially dangerous and can
cause injury)
14
Q
There are 2 types of joint position ?
A
- close-packed position
- ligaments and joint capsule are tight capsule
- joint has maximal articular surface contact
- increase stability and decrease mobility
- Open-packed position
- ligaments and joint capsule are open
- the joint has maximal space and available movement
- increased mobility , decreased stability
15
