Chapter 9 - Joints Flashcards
what is an articulation and what happens here?
where 2 bones meet and body movements occur
what does the structure of a joint determine?
direction
distance of movement (range of motion)
what kind of relationship exists between joint mobility and joint stability?
inverse relationship (when one goes up the other goes down)
what are functional joint classifications based on and what are the 3 classifications?
based on joint range of motion
- Synarthrosis
- Amphiarthrosis
- Diarthrosis
what are synarthroses?
immoveable joints
what are amphiarthoses?
slightly moveable joints
what are diarthroses?
freely moveable joints
what are structural joint classifications based on and what are the 4 classification?
based on anatomical organization of the joint
- fibrous
- cartilaginous
- bony
- synovial
name the types of fibrous joints
- syndesmosis
- suture
- gomphosis
name the type of cartilaginous joints
- synchondrosis
- symphysis
name the types of bony fusion joints
synostosis
name the types of synovial joints
- ball-and-socket joint
- pivot
- saddle
- condylar (ellipsoidal)
- hinge
- gliding (planar)
name the structurally synarthrotic joints
- suture
- gomphosis
- synchondrosis
- synostosis
name the structurally amphiarthrotic joints
- syndesmosis
- symphysis
what kind of connections may occur in synarthroses?
fibrous or cartilaginous
may fuse and become synostosis
what are sutures?
short connective tissue fibers that hold the bones together
where are sutures found?
between bones of the skull
where are gomphoses found and how do they stay in place?
- between teeth and jaw
- held in place by fibrous periodontal ligament
what are synchondroses formed by?
2 bones joined together by hyaline cartilage
where are synchondroses found?
- epiphyseal growth plates of long bones
- connects diaphysis and epiphysis in growing bones. when growth plate closes, hyaline cartilage is replaced with bone and synchondrosis becomes synostosis - between costal cartilage of first rib and manubrium
how are synostosis created?
- 2 bones, once separated, fuse and boundary between them disappears
- where synchondroses joints that fused
- ossification occurs with age
where are synostoses found?
- left and right mandible
- left and right frontal bones
- epiphysis and diaphysis of long bones
what kind of structural connections may occur at amphiarthroses?
fibrous or cartilaginous (tend to be fibrous)
what is found in syndesmotic joints?
bones connected by ligaments, cords, or a band of fibrous sheets (interosseous membrane)
