Chapter 9 Flashcards
Joints
Articulation or arthrosis is a point of contact between two bones, bones and cartilage or bone and teeth
Structural classification of joints is based is based on 2 criteria
1 presence of space between articulating bone
2 type of connective tissue that binds the bones together
3 types of joints
1 fibrous joint
2 cartilaginous joint
3 synovial joint
Fibrous joint
No synovial cavity
Bones held together by senses irregular tissue
Rich in collagen
Cartilaginous joint
No synovial cavity
Bones held together by cartilage
Synovial joint
Has synovial cavity
Held by dense irregular connective tissue of articular capsule and accessory ligaments
Synarthrosis
Immovable joint or little to no movement
Amphiarthrosis
A slightly movable joint
Diarthrosis
Freely movable joint
Types of fibrous joints
Sutures
Syndemoses
Interosseous membrane
Synotosis
A joint where there is complete fusion of two separate bones into one
Syndesmoses
Greater distance between articulating surface and more dense irregular connective tissue than sutures
Connective tissue is arranged in bundles allowing for some limited movements
Interosseous Membrane
Substantial sheet of dense irregular connective tissue that binds neighbouring long bones and permits slight movements
Cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis
Symphyses
Epiphyseal cartilage
Synchondrosis
Connected by hyaline cartilage and slightly movable to immovable
Symphyses
The ends of the articulating bone are covered in hyaline cartilage, but they are connected by fibrocartilage
Slightly movable
Epiphyseal cartilage
Actually hyaline cartilage growth centres during endochondrial bone formation and not joints associated with movement
Immovable
Articular cartilage
Layer of hyalin cartilage that covers synovial joints
Does not bind, but provides a smooth slippery surface to reduce friction and also absorbs shock
Articular capsule
Surrounds synovial joint and enclosing it and the articulating bones
2 layers of articular capsule
Fibrous membrane
Inner synovial membrane
Fibrous membrane
Consists of dense irregular connective tissue that attached periosteum and articulating bone
Inner synovial membrane
Areolar connective tissue with elastic fibers
Synovial fluid
Secreted by synovial membrane
Forms film over surfaces within articular capsule
Accessory ligaments
Extracapsular ligaments
Intracapsular ligaments
Extracapsular ligaments
Lie outside of articular capsule
Intracapsular ligaments
Within articular capsules, but excluded from synovial cavity by synovial membrane
Articular discs
Crescent shaped pads of fibrocartilage that lies between articular surfaces of bone and attached to fibrous capsule
Present in some synovial joints
Bursae
Sac like structures that are strategically situated to alleviate friction in some joints
Not strictly part of synovial joints
Tendon/synovial sheath
Tubelike bursae that wraps around some tendons that experience considers me friction when passing through tunnels formed by connective tissue and bone
Gliding
Simple movement where nearly flat bone surfaces move back and forth, and side to side
Angular movement
Increase or decrease in angle between articulating bones
Flexion
Decrease in angle between articulating bones
Extension
Increase in angle between articulating bones
Lateral flexion
Flexion along frontal plane and involves intervertebral joints
Hyperextension
Continuation of extension beyond anatomical position
Abduction or radial deviation
Movement of bone away from midline
Adduction or ulnar deviation
Movement of a bone towards midline
