Chapter 6 Flashcards
What are 3 joint classifications
fibrous (synarthrotic), cartilaginous (amphiarathrotic), and synovial (diarthrotic).
The immovable joints in the body are called what
synarthrotic joints
The three synarthrotic subclasses are called
suture, gomphosis, and syndesmosis joints.
Suture joints are found where
Two cranial bones come together
occurs between the teeth and the underlying mandibular and maxilarry bones.
gomphosis
The fibers support and enhance the movement of the segments and provide additional structural support for the two bones they attach.
syndesmosis joint
What are some types of joints
Hinge, saddle, ball and socket, gliding, pivot
What is an example of a hinge joint
Elbow joint
What is an example of a saddle joint
Thumb joint
What is an example of a ball and socket joint
Hips or shoulders
What is an example of a gliding joint
Midcarpal or midtarsal joint
What is Arthrokinematics
Movement of joint surfaces
What are three ways in which joints move
Rolling, gliding, and spinning
What is difference between Osteokinematics and Arthrokinematics
Osteokinematics is gross movements of bones at joints (large movements)
Arthrokinematics is small amplitude motions of bones at joint surface (smaller movements)
What is the neuromuscular junction
The site of communication between motor nerve axons and muscle fibers
