Chapter Eight: Tendons and Ligaments Flashcards
What are the three structural classes of joints?
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Joints are a type of ______________ tissue that binds bones
Connective
Name the three functional classes of joints:
- Synarthrosis
- Amphiarthrosis
- Diarthrosis
What type of joint?
- united by fibrous connective tissue
- have no joint cavity
- move little or none
Fibrous Joints
What are the three types of fibrous joints?
- Sutures
- Syndesmoses
- Gomphoses
What type of fibrous joint?
- opposing bones interdigitate
- in adults may ossify completely; synotosis
- fontanels: membranous areas in the suture between bones
Sutures
What type of fibrous joint?
- bones farther apart than suture and joined by ligaments
- some movement may occur
- examples: radioulnar (inerosseus membrane)
Syndesmoses
What type of fibrous joint?
- pegs that fit into sockets
- periodontal ligaments: holds teeth in place
Gomphoses
What functional class of joints: non-moveable
synarthrosis
What functional classes of joints: slightly moveable
Amphiarthrosis
What functional class of joints: freely moveable
Diarthrosis
Name the three types of synovial joints:
- Uniaxial
- Biaxial
- Multiaxial
What type of synovial joint: occurring around one axis
uniaxial
What type of synovial joint: occurring around two axes at the right angles to each other
Biaxial
What type of synovial joint: occurring around several axes
Multiaxial
What type of joint?
- biaxial
- modified ball-and-socket; articular surfaces are ellipsoid (one convex, one concave)
- EX: atlantooccipital
Ellipsoid (Condyloid)
What type of joint?
- multiaxial
- articular surface of one bone is ball-shaped and fits into a cup-shaped articular surface of the opposing bone
- widest range of motion
- EX: glenohumeral (shoulder) and coxofemoral (hip)
Ball + Socket
What is an example of a compound hinge joint?
Humeroulnar Joint
What are two examples of pivot joints?
Humeroidal Joint and Proximal Radioulnar Joint
The shape of the trochlear notch and trochlea limit movement to ________________ and _______________
extensions and flexion
