Chapter 7 Flashcards
functional classfication is based on what?
the amount of movement allowed by the joint
synarthroses
immovable
amphiarthroses
slightly movable
diarthroses
freely moveable
Articulation
site where two or more bones meet
3 structural classfications
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Syndesmoses
type of fibrous joint
Bones connected by ligaments (bands of fibrous tissue);
movement varies from immovable to slightly movable
Gomphoses
type of fibrous joint
Peg-in-socket joints of teeth in alveolar sockets
Synchondroses
type of cartilaginous joint
A bar or plate of hyalinecartilage unites the bones; all are synarthrotic
the 2 types of cartilaginous joints
no joint cavity
Synchondroses
Symphyses
Symphyses
type of cartilaginous joint
Hyaline cartilage covers the articulating surfaces and is fused to an intervening pad of fibrocartilage; strong, flexible amphiarthroses
synovial joints (description)
all are diarthrotic
most joints of the body
all limb joints
the outer fibrous capsule in a synovial joint is made of what tissue?
dense irregular connective tissue
the inner synovial membrane is made of what tissue?
loose connective tissue
function of the Synovial fluid
lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage
bursae
Flattened, fibrous sacs lined with synovial membranes
Tendon sheath
Elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon
stabilizing factors at synovial joints
shapes of articular surfaces
ligament number and location
muscle tone - main factor
Origin
attachment to the immovable bone
Insertion
attachment to the movable bone
synovial joints categorized by range of motion
nonaxial
uniaxial
biaxial
multiaxial
Nonaxial
slipping movements only
Uniaxial
movement in one plane
Biaxial
movement in two planes
Multiaxial
movement in or around all three planes
gliding movements
one flat bone surface glides or slips over another similar surface
Angular Movements
Increase or decrease the angle between the articulating bones
flexion
decreases the angle of the joint
elevation
lifting a body part superiorly
depression
moving a body part inferiorly
opposition
movement in the saddle joint so that the thumb touches the tips of the other fingers
rotation
turning of a bone around its own long axis
pronation
turning the hand forward
supination
turning the hand backward
circumduction
flexion + abduction + extension + adduction of a limb to describe a cone in space
Types of Synovial joints
Ball-and-Socket joints Hinge joints saddle joints Pivot joints condyloid Plane joints
