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
Interosseous membrane
Fibrous between tibia and fibula
Diarthroses Features
Articulations cartilage
Joint cavity
Joint cavity lining
Synovial fluid
Articular cartilage structure and 1 Function
No perichondrium
Synovial fluid produced by synovial membrane
Function: prevents bone to bone contact and reduces friction
Joint cavity
Synovial cavity
Articular capsule
Synovial membrane
Fibrous layer
Outer layer of loose are okay connective tissue that are continuous with periostea of articulating bones
Inner layer of synoviocytes and macrophages that don’t extend
Synovial fluid texture and 3 functions
Clear viscous solution Functions: Shock absorption Nutrient distribution Lubrication
Accessory Structures of Synovial Joints
Articular discs or menisci
Fatty pads
Ligaments
Additional lubricating structures (bursae and tendon sheath)
