Chapter 9 Joints Flashcards
joints, or articulations, are classified on the basis of their degree of movement. identify the correct order on basis of no movement- slight movement- freely movement
synarthrosis
amphiarthrosis
diarthrosis
the amphiarthrotic articulation that limits movements between the two pubic bones
pubic symphysis
the type of synarthrosis that binds each tooth to the surrounding bony socket
gomphosis
functions of the synovial fluid that fills the joint cavity
nourishes chondrocytes
provides lubrication
shock absorber
the reason that elbow and knee are called hinge joints
they permit angular movement in a single plane
the knee joint functions as a
hinge joint
the joint that permits the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body
shoulder joint
body movements occur at joints where two bones connect
articulations
based on range of motion of the joint
functional
the anatomical observation of the joint
structural
immovable joint
synarthrosis
slightly movable joint
amphiarthrosis
freely movable joint
diarthrosis
4 structural classifications
bony
fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial
four types of synarthrotic joints
suture
gomphosis
synchondrosis
synostosis
bones are interlocked, bound by dense fibrous connective tissue, found only in skull
suture
fibrous connection, binds teeth to sockets
gomphosis
is a rigid cartilaginous bridge between epiphyseal cartilage of long bones, and vertebrosternal ribs and sternum
synchondrosis
fused bones, immovable, metabolic suture of skull, epiphyseal of long bones
synostosis
more movable than synarthrosis, stronger than freely movable joint
amphiarthroses
two types of amphiarthroses:
syndesmosis: bones connected by ligaments
symphysis: bones separated by fibrous cartilage
movable joints, at ends of long bones, within articular capsules, lines with synovial membrane
synovial joints
components of synovial joints:
articular cartilage
synovial fluid
accessory structures
contains slippery proteoglycans secreted by fibroblasts
synovial fluid
