Chapterer 9 Flashcards
Articulations (what are they)
when body movement occurs at JOINTS(ARTICULATIONS) here 2 bones connect.
Disclaimer - movement not pre-req to be considered joint
Joint Structure (what does it determine )
Determines direction and distance of movement (range of motion)
- Joint strength decreases as mobility increases
Functional joint classifications (what are they)
Synarthrosis: no movement
Amphiarthrosis: little movement
Diarthrosis: (aka synovial) -more movement
Synarthroses(characteristics and types)
- very strong
- edges of bones may touch or interlock
4 Types: - suture
- gomphosis
- synchondrosis
- synostosis
Sutures
Bones interlock
are bound by dense fibrous connective tissue
are found ONLY in the skull
Gomphosis
Tooth in bone
Fibrous connection
Binds teeth to sockets
Synchondrosis(No-movement)
Is a rigid cartilaginous bridge between 2 bones:
- Epiphyseal cartilage of long bone
- between vertebrosternal ribs and sternum
Synostosis
Fused bones, immoveable:
- metopic suture of skull
-Epiphyseal lines of long bones (when 25)
Amphiarthroses
More moveable than synarthrosis
stronger than freely movable joints
DOESNT provide notable movement (still moves though)
what are the 2 types of Amphiarthroses ?
Syndesmosis: Tibula & fibula
- bones connected by ligaments
Symphysis: pubic symphysis & fibro integral die
- bones seperated by fibrocartilage
Synovial Joints (Diarthroses) what is it also called
also called moveable joints
end sod long bones
within Articular Capsules
lined with synovial membrane
Articular Cartilages
Pad articulating surfaces within articular capsules:
- prevent bones form touching
Smooth surfaces lubricated by synovial fluid:
- reduce friction
what are the functions of Synovial Fluid?
- Lubrication
- Nutrient distribution
- shock absorption
Flexion
Bending, decreasing angle of a join
flexion on (straighten)
extension is increasing the angle of the joint
Abduction
moving body part away from body
Adduction
moving body part towards body
Rotation
ex rotation of forearm
- supination is Anatomical position
- pronation is posterior position
Inversion & Eversion
Inversion (foot) right foot - big toe goes left(twists sole of foot medially)
Eversion right foot - pinky goes out to right(twists sole of foot laterally)
Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion
Dorsiflexion (ankle flexion) moving up (lifting toe)
Plantar flexion (ankle extension) like flooring car pushing down(pointing toe)
