chapter 9- joints Flashcards
definition of joints/articulation
functional junction between bones that allow for bone growth
3 types of joints
fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
fibrous
dense connective tissue between bones in close contact
cartilaginous joints
hyaline or fibrocartilage connecting bones
synovial
most complex, allows free movement
synarthrotic
immovable
amphiarthrotic
slightly moveable
diarthrotic
freely moveable
syndesmosis
fibrous amphiarthrotic joint between tibia and fibula
suture
fibrous synarthrotic joint between flat bones
gomphosis
fibrous synarthrotic joint of tooth and jawbone
synchondrosis
bands of hyaline cartilage that unites bones, found between manubrium and first rib
synchondrosis
synarthrotic bands of hyaline cartilage between manubrium and first rib
symphysis
pad of amphiarthrotic fibrocartilage found in pubic symphysis and vertebrates
ball and socket
hip and shoulders, synovial joint
saddle joint
synovial joint, between carpal and metacarpal of thumb
gliding joint
synovial joint, between carpals and tarsals
hinge joint
synovial joint, elbow and phalanges
pivot joint
synovial joint, radius and ulna, neck
condyloid joint
synovial joint, knuckles
7 major features of synovial joints
articular cartilage, articular capsule with synovial membrane, joint cavity, synovial fluid, bursae sacs, reinforcing ligament, blood vessels
largest and most complex joint
knee
what articulates in knee joint
femur articulates anteriorly with patella
what type of joint is the knee
modified hinge
