chapter 3 (articular system) Flashcards
joint
connection of 2 bones
functions of joint
allow motion, absorb force, provide stability
Fibrous Joint
Thin layer of fibrous periosteum between the two bones
3 types of fibrous joint
synarthrosis, syndesmosis, gomphosis
synarthrodial (suture), motion?
thin layer, provides support, skull. no motion
syndesmosis (ligamentous)
plenty of fibrous tissue, small amount of twisting(radius, ulna, tibia, fibula)
gomphosis
bolting together ( tooth and dental socket
Cartilaginous = Amphiarthrodial
allow small amount of motion, hyaline cartilage
Synovial = Diarthrodial ex.
allows free motion, cavity filled with synovial fluid. hip, elbow, knee
join structure of synovial fluid components
bones, ligaments, synovial fluid, cartilage, muscles, bursae
bones
two articulating
ligaments
holds bones together. fibrous connective tissue
capsule
surrounds and incase the joint, protect bone
Synovial Fluid
thick-white fluid, lubricate, provide shock absorption
Cartilage
dense fibrous tissue, hold great tension
