Chapter 9-Arthrology Flashcards
Amphiarthrosis?
A slightly movable joint; bony surfaces are separated by fibrous connective tissue to which both are attached.
What 2 types are Amphiarthrosis?
Syndesmosis & symphysis.
What is Arthralgia?
Pain in a joint.
What is Arthroplasty?
Surgical replacement of joints; ex hip & knee.
Arthrosis?
A joint or articulation.
Articular capsule?
A sleevelike structure around a synovial joint composed of a capsule and membrane.
Articulate cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage attached to articulate bone surfaces.
Articulate discs?
Fibrocartilage pad between articulate surfaces of bones & synovial joints; known as meniscus.
Articulation?
A joint; or point of contact between bones, cartilage & bones or teeth & bones.
Ball & socket joint?
Synovial joint in which the rounded surface of one bone moves within a cup shaped depression of another bone like shoulder & hip.
Cartilaginous joint?
Joint without a synovial cavity where the articulating bones are held tightly together by cartilage, allowing little or no movement.
Chondritis?
Inflammation of cartilage.
Condyloid joint?
A synovial joint structured so that an oval shaped condyle of the bone fits into cavity of another bone allowing for side to side, back and forth like the joint at the wrist between the radius and carpals.
Depression?
Moving a body part inferiorly.
Diarthrosis?
A freely movable joint; types are plane, hinge, pivot, saddle & ball and socket.
Elevations?
Where movement is superiorly.
Fibrous joints?
A joint that allows little or no movement; such as a suture.
Gomphosis?
A fibrous joint in which cone shaping peg fits into a socket. Ex teeth
Gout?
Hereditary condition associated with excessive uric acid in the blood; acid crystallizes and deposits in joints, kidneys & soft tissue.
Hinge?
A synovial joint in which a convex surface of one fits into a concave surface of another bone; such as elbow, knee & ankle.
Joint?
A point of contact between two bones.
Ligaments?
Dense regular connective tissue that attaches bone to bone.
Pivot?
A synovial joint in which a rounded, pointed surface of one bone articulates with a ring formed by another bone and ligament; joint between proximal ends of radius and ulna.
Plane?
Joint in which the articulating surfaces are flat or slightly curved that permit back and forth and side to side movement, and rotation between the flat surfaces.
Saddle joint?
A synovial joint in which the articulating surface of one bone is saddle shaped and the other is shaped like the legs of a rider sitting in saddle. Joint between trapezium metacarpal of the thumb.
Shoulder joint?
Synovial joint where the humerus articulates with the scapula.
Subluxation?
A partial or incomplete dislocation.
Symphysis?
A line of union; slightly moveable cartilaginous joint.
Meniscus & FX?
Subdivides synovial cavity Ito 2 spaces allowing separate movements to occur.
-Found in knee & TMJ
Labrum?
Found in ball and socket joints, it depends the joint space socket and increases space
6 factors that determine type of movement in synovial joint?
1) shape of articulating bone
2) Hormones
3) strength of joint
4) Contact of soft parts
5) Disease
What ligament prevents displacement of the mandible?
The lateral ligament.
What is the only moveable joint between skull bones?
TMJ
