What are joints?
the places where bones meet

1) Fibrous joints
2) Cartilaginous joints
3) Synovial joints
Which type of joint is this: are held together by fibrous connective tissue
Fibrous joints
Which type of joint is this: have no joint cavity or movement
Fibrous joints
Sutures are found in what type of joint?
Fibrous joints
Which type of joint is this: cartilage holds the bones together
Cartilaginous joints
Which type of joint is this: some are immovable
Cartilaginous joints
Where are Cartilaginous joints found?
1) between vertebrae
2) in rib to sternum attachment
3) pubic symphysis
Which type of joint is this: freely moveable
Synovial joints
__________ is loosened during pregnancy

Most joints in the human body are what type of joints?
Synovial joints
Which type of joint is this: the surfaces that move past one another in the joints have a thin layer of cartilage
Synovial joints
Which type of joint is this: the entire joint is reinforced with ligaments
Synovial joints
Binge joints what type of joint?
Synovial joints
a 2-layered joint capsule surrounds the synovial joints:
1) the inner layer- the synovial membrane, secretes viscous clear fluid into the space or joint cavity, between the 2 bones
2) the outer layer-
2) continuous with the covering membranes of the bones forming the joint

What are ligaments?
strong straps of connective tissue that hold the bones together, support the joint, and direct the movement of the bones
What are binge joints?
joints that resemble a binge on a door in that they permit motion in only one plane
Where are binge joints found?
on places like the knee and elbow
Where are binge joints found?
on places like the knee and elbow
What are the types of movements at synovial joints?
1) Flexion
2) Extension
3) Adduction
4) Abduction
5) Rotation
6) Circumduction
7) Supination
8) Pronation
What is a sprain?
damage to a ligament
What is the difference between a slight sprain and a serious sprain?
slight (over stretching)
serious (tearing)
True or False: Ligaments (like tendons) have few blood vessels, so they heal quickly.
False; Ligaments (like tendons) have few blood vessels, so they heal slowly.
What is a common knee injury among athletes?
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Why is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) so vulnerable?
when the knee is bent, the ACL acts as a restraining wire that restricts front-to-back twisting movement between the thighbone (femur) and the shinbone (tibia)
What is a bursae?
fluid-filled sacs that act as the body’s own gliding surface
bursae meaning “______” or “_____”
“pouch”
“purse”
What is bursitis?
joint injury or repeated pressure causing bursar to become inflamed and swell with excessive fluid
What is arthritis?
a general term referring to joint inflammation
What is osteoarthritis?
a degeneration of the surfaces of a joint, caused by wear and tear
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
a type of arthritis marked by inflammation of the synovial membrane
rheumatoid arthritis is an ____-_______ disease
auto-immune
True or False: rheumatoid arthritis is a permanent condition
True
