CHapter 8 Appendicular Flashcards
holds bone together but may not permit movement. has point of contact between bone-bone, bone-cartilage, tooth-bone
joints
study of joints
arthrology
study of motion
kinesiology
joint that lacks synovial cavity. bones held together by fibrous dense connective tissue. little to no movement. 3 types
fibrous joints
3 types of fibrous joints
sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses
thin layer of dense fibrous connective tissue unites bones of the skull. synarthrosis. if fused in adults = synostosis
sutures
fibrous joint. bones united by ligament. slightly moveable (amphiarthrosis). dense regular CT
syndesmosis
ligament holds cone-shaped peg in bony socket. immovable (synarthrosis). Ex teeth and alveolar processes of maxilla
gomphosis
lacks synovial cavity
allows little to no movement
bones tightly connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage
2 types
cartilage joints
two types of cartilage joints
synchondroses and symphyses
connecting material = hyaline cartilage snyarthrosis hyaline between 2 types of bone tissue epiphyseal plate or joints between ribs and sternum when fusion occurs it becomes synostosis
synchondrosis
growth of bone and endochondrial ossification catches up with growth of cartilage and everything grows together
synostosis
fibrocartilage is connecting material
amphiarthroses
intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis
symphysis
features of synovial joint
separated by fluid filled cavity; two layers (synovial membrane and articular cartilage); synovial fluid
function of synovial fluid
lubricate the joints, nourish chondrocytes, shock absorber
reinforces and strengthens joint capsule. connects bone to bone with dense regular CT
ligaments
synovial joint ligament type– outside joint capsule. ex: collaterals
extracapsular ligament
synovial joint ligament type– within the capsule. ex: cruciates
intracapsular ligament
pads of fibrous cartilage that subdivides a cavity. also known as menisci. ex: ulnolunate joint; knee joint
articular discs of synovial joint
function of articular discs of synovial joint
channel fluid of synovial fluid, modify articular surfaces; restrict movements at joint; cushion articulating surfaces; help to distribute body weight
adipose tissue surrounding the synovial capsule
fat pads of synovial joint
function of fat pads of synovial joint
protects articular cartilage, packing material, fills spaces when joint changes shape
small fluid filled pockets of connective tissue
found in hypodermis between tendons/ ligaments and bones
bursae of synovial joint
function of bursa in synovial joint
cushion and support, aid movement of tendons; stop friction
type of movement- two opposing surfaces slide past one another
gliding
