Chapter 9 Articulations Flashcards
How many joints
230
Hypermobility
Double Jointed
Factors that increase ROM
1) Abnormal shaped ends of one of more bones in joint
2) Weak ligaments
3) Stretched ligaments
4) Muscle tone
Articulations definition
Where 2 bones interconnect
Articulations Function
1) Hold bones together
2) Allow movement
2 ways to classify joints
Structural and Functional
4 Structural Classification of Joints
Fibrous, cartilage, bony, synovial
3 Functional classification of joints
Based on ROM
1) Synarthroses-immovable (cartilaginous or fibrous)
2) Amphiarthroses-little movement (cartilaginous or fibrous)
3) Diatheoses-freely moveable
Synarthroses Types
Sutures, gomphoses, synotosis, synchondroses
Amphiarthroses Tyoes
Syndesmoses, symphysis, interosseous membrane
Diarthroses
Synovial
Sutures
Dense FIBROUS collagen CT between skull bones
Gomphoses (plural)
FIBROUS CT periodontal ligament binds teeth to jaw
Synchondroses
Epiphyseal CARTILAGE between bones and in long bones
Synotoses
Fusing of 2 bones (Ephiphyseal lines)
Syndesmoses
FIBROUS ligament between fibula and tibia (collagen)
Symphysis
FIBROUS cartilage pad that separates bones
