Chapter 8 Flashcards
Three structural classifications of joints
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Three functional classifications of joints
Synarthrotic
Amphiarthrotic
Diarthrotic
Held together by dense connective tissue (joint)
Fibrous joint
Held together by cartilage (joint)
Cartilaginous joint
Has a complex structure (joint)
Synovial joint
Immovable joint
Synarthrotic joint
Slightly moveable joint
Amphiarthrotic joint
Freely moveable joint
Diathrotic joint
Three types of fibrous joints
Syndesmosis
Suture
Gomphosis
Bones bound by a sheet of sends connective tissue (interosseous membrane) or a bundle of dense connective tissue interosseous ligaments) amphiarthrotic, between tibia and fibula (fiberous joint type)
Syndesmosis
Thin layer of connective tissue (cultural ligaments) connected bones. Synaryhrotic (immovable, between flat bones of skull(type of fiberous joint)
Suture
Cone-shaped bony process in a socket, synarthrosis (immovable). Root of tooth in a maxilla or mandible held in place by periodontal ligament
Gomphosis
Connected by hyaline cartilage or fibro cartilage (joint type)
Cartilaginous joint
Two types of cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis
Symphysis
Bands of headline cartilage unite bone, synarthrotic, some temporary such as epiphyseal plate. Some are permanent, such as between manubrium and the first rib (costal cartilage) (type of cartilaginous joint)
Synchondrosis cartilaginous joints
Pad of fibro cartilage between bones, articular surfaces covered by headline cartilage, amphiarthrotic (limited movement) pubic symphsis, joints between bodies of adjacent vertebrae (intervertebral discs) (cartilagenous joints)
Symphasis
Most joints are this type, all are diathrotic (move freely) have a complex structure (joint type)
Synovial joints
