Chapter 9 Flashcards
Articulations
where 2 bones meet
2 methods to classify articulations
- Function
2. Structure
Function of articulations
- definition
- 3 things
- range of motion
- Synarthrosis
- Amphiarthrosis
- Diarthrosis
- Synarthrosis
Synarthrosis
-4 types
No movement
- Suture
- Gomphosis
- Synostosis
- Synchondrosis
- Suture
Amphiarthrosis
- definition
- example
- 2 types
- how are bones connected
Some movement
- Invertebral joints
- syndesmosis
- symphysis
- syndesmosis
- by collagen fibers or cartilage
Diarthrosis
- definition
- location
- 3 examples
Freely movable joints and contain a joint cavity
- end of long bones
- Shoulder, coxal and elbow
Structure of articulations
-4
- bony fusion
- Fibrous joint
- Cartilaginous joint
- Synovial joint
suture
- structural category
- description
- example
- fibrous joint
- articulating bones joined by a thin layer of dense connective tissue
- bones of skull
gophmosis
- structural category
- what is it known as
- description
- example
- fibrous joint
- peradontal ligament
- cone shaped peg fits into socket
- teeth in maxillae and mandable
Synostosis
- structural category
- created by what
- example
- bony fusion
- created by fusion of 2 bones, boundary between them disappears
- formation of epiphyseal line
synchondroses
- structural category
- description
- example
- cartilaginous joint (cartilage bridge between 2 joints)
- connecting material is cartilage
- connects epiphysis with diaphysis in growing long bone
syndesmosis
- structural category
- description
- example
- fibrous joint
- articulating bones joined by ligaments (dense connective tissue)
- radius and ulna
Symphysis
- structural category
- description
- example
- cartilaginous
- articulating bones joined by fibrocartilage
- vertebral column
3 characteristics of synovial joints
- Joint cavity
- Articular capsule
- Articular cartilage
Joint cavity
surrounds joints and is filled with synovial fluid
Articular capsule
- number of layers
- 2 characteristics
- 2
- outer fibrous articular capsule
- inner synovial membrane
- outer fibrous articular capsule
Outer fibrous articular capsule
- function
- continuous with what
- covers joint
- continuous with periosteum of the bone
Inner synovial membrane
-function
produces synovial fluid
Synovial fluid
thick fluid rich in proteoglycans
proteogycans
lubrication, nutrient distribution and shock absorption
articular cartilage
surface is smooth and slick (hyaline)
4 accessory structures of synovial joints
- Cartilages and fat pads
- Accessory ligaments
- tendons
- bursae
cartilages and fat pads
-2 things
- meniscus
2. fat pads
meniscus
pad of fibrocartilage between bones
fat pads
areas of fat covered by synovial membrane
