Chapter 8 Flashcards
Classification of joint:
no movement allowed, extremely strong.
synarthrosis
examples of synarthrosis:
located between bones of the skull
suture
examples of synarthrosis:
binding teeth to bony sockets
gomophosis
examples of synarthrosis:
a rigid, cartilages bridge between two articulating bones
synchondrois
examples of synarthrosis:
formed when bones fuse
synostosis
Classification of joint:
little movement allowed, much stonier then diarthrosis, articulating bones connected by collagen fibers or cartilage.
examples: distal joint between tibia and fibula, joint between pubic bones
Amphiarthrosis
Example of amphiarthrosis:
amphiarthotic joint with bones connected by a ligament
syndesmosis
Classification of joints:
freely movable
examples: ends of long bones
diarthrosis
examples of diarthosis:
moveable joints
synovial
Components of a synovial joint:
- articular carilage
- joint capulse
- synovial membrane and fluid
- accessory structures
covers the bones, lubricated by synovial fluid to reduce friction
articular cartilage
sac enclosing the articular ends of the bones in a joint. reinforced with accessory structures. continuous with the periosteum of each bone. adds strength and mobility to joint
joint capsule
lines the interior of the joint capsule, secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavity
synovial membrane and fluid
functions of synovial fluid
- lubrication
- nutrient distribution
- shock absorption
muscle to bone, help support joint and may limit ROM but are not part of the joint
tendon
fibrocartilage pad between opposing bones in a synovial joint
meniscus
a pouch or pocket of synovial fluid
bursae
bone to bone, support and strengthen joints
ligaments
occurs when ligaments have torn collagen fibers
sprain
Greater ROM results in ______ joint
weaker
The strongest joints are ________ and they have no movement
synarthroses
The weakest joints are __________ and they have the most movement
diarthroses
movement beyond normal ROM. Articulating surfaces forced out of position. images joints structures.
dislocation
a partial dislocation
subluxation
angle between elements is decreased
flexion
angle between elements is increased
extension
extention past anatomical position
hyperextension
Refers to the bending the vertebral column to the side. turning neck to the side
lateral flexion
upward movement of the foot
dorsiflexion
movement extending the ankle
plantar flexion
moves away from midline
abduction
moves toward midline
adduction
