Chapter 8 Articulations Flashcards
Joints are the ________ part of the skeleton.
Weakest
Definition of articulation is
the site where two or more bones meet
Functions of joints: give the skeleton_________ and _______ the skeleton _________.
mobility
hold
together
Two kinds of classifications of joints are
structural and functional
Three structural classifications are
fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial
Fibrous means
collagen fibers
Cartilaginous means
cartilage
Synovial means
fluid
Three functional classes of joints are (SAD)
Synarthroses
Ampiarthroses
Diarthroses
Synarthroses means
immovable
Ampiarthroses means
slightly movable
Diarthroses means
freely movable
Functional classification is based on the _______by the joint.
amount of movement allowed
Three types of fibrous joints are
sutures
syndemoses
gomphoses
With fibrous structural joints, the bones are
joined by fibrous tissues
There is no joint cavity with
fibrous structural joints
Most fibrous structural joints are
immovable
Sutures occur only between
the bones of the skull
Sutures are comprised of
interlocking junctions
Sutures are completely filled with
connective tissue fibers
Sutures bind bones tightly together, but allow for
growth during youth
In middle age, bones
fuse together
Sutures
Structural:_________
Functional:_________
Fibrous
Synarthroses
Syndemoses bones are connected by a
fibrous tissue ligament (interosseous membrane)
With syndemoses movement
varies from immovable to slightly movable
Syndemoses examples include the connection between what bones
tibia and fibula
radius and ulna
Syndemoses
Structural:_________
Functional:_________
Fibrous
Synarthroses and Amphiarthroses
Gomphoses is the ________________
peg-and-socket fibrous joint only between a tooth and its alveolar socket
With gomphoses the fibrous connection is the
periodontal ligament
Cartilaginous joints are articulating bones that are
united by cartilage
Cartilaginous joints lack
joint cavity
Two types of cartilaginous joints are
synchondroses and symphyses
Synchondroses is a _______________ that unites the bones
bar or plate of hyaline cartilage
All synchondroses are
synarthrotic
Examples of synchondroses are
epiphseal plate in children and the
joint between the costal cartilage of the first rib and the sternum
Synchondroses:
Structural:_________
Functional:_________
Cartilage
Synarthrotic
Symphyses is ______________ that covers the articulating surface of the bone and it’s fused to an intervening pad of fibrocartilage.
hyaline cartilage
Symphyses joints are
amphiarthrotic
Symphyses joints are designed for
strength and flexibility
Symphyses:
Structural:_________
Functional:_________
Cartilage
Ampthiarthoses
Examples of symphyses joints include
intervertebral joints and the pubic symphysis of the pelvis
Synovial joints are those joints in which the articulating bones are
separated by a fluid-containing joint cavity
All synovial joints are
freely movable diarthroses
Synovial Joints:
Structural:_________
Functional:_________
Synovial
Diarthrosis
Examples of synovial joints are
all limb joints and most joints of the body
Synovial joints have all of the following:
articular cartilage, joint (synovial) cavity, articular capsule, synovial fluid, reinforcing ligaments
Be able to list and label picture on page 254
labels
Articular cartilage covers
bone surfaces
Joint (synovial) cavity is filled with
synovial fluid
Articular capsule is
double layered
two layers of articular capsule are
external layer and synovial membrane
Synovial fluid is in
free spaces of joint capsule
Synovial fluid is derived from
filtered blood plasma and hyaluronic acid
