CHP 5 - aRTHROLOGY Flashcards
Joints united by fibrous tissue cartilage or a mixture of the two often termed immovable joints
Synarthroses
A type of synarthrosis found in the skull where adjacent bone margins interlock
Suture
A type of suture where the edges overlap as in the parieto-temporal joint
Squamous suture
A type of suture with irregular edges as seen in the frontal joint
Serrated suture
A type of suture with straight edges as seen in the nasal joint
Harmonious suture
A joint where the uniting medium is elastic tissue white fibrous tissue or a mixture of both such as intercarpal joints
Syndesmosis
A type of synarthrosis found between the tooth and the alveolar sockets
Gomphosis
A type of suture with straight edges as seen in the nasal joint
Harmonious suture
A joint where the uniting medium is elastic tissue white fibrous tissue or a mixture of both such as intercarpal joints
Syndesmosis
A type of synarthrosis found between the tooth and the alveolar sockets
Gomphosis
Joints with both synarthrodial and diarthrodial features allowing limited movement
Amphiarthroses
A cartilaginous joint where the uniting medium is cartilage such as the sphenoid and basilar occipital joint
Synchondrosis
A joint found in the median plane where the uniting medium is ossified cartilage and fibrous tissue such as the pelvic symphysis
Symphysis
True joints that possess a synovial cavity joint capsule synovial membrane and articular cartilage allowing movement
Diarthroses
A hinge joint such as the elbow
Ginglymus
A gliding joint such as the intercarpal joints
Arthrodia
A pivot joint such as the atlanto-axial joint
Trochoid
A ball-and-socket joint such as the hip
Enarthrosis
A diarthrodial joint between the ramus of the mandible and the squamous temporal bone allowing rotation gliding retraction and protrusion
Temporomandibular joint
A type of vertebral joint classified as an amphiarthrosis found between vertebral bodies
Intercentral articulation
A type of vertebral joint classified as a diarthrosis occurring between vertebral articular processes
Interneural articulation
A diarthrodial joint found in horses between the transverse processes of the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebrae and the wings of the sacrum
Intertransverse articulation
A diarthrodial joint classified as a ginglymus allowing flexion and extension of the head
Atlanto-occipital joint
A diarthrodial joint classified as a trochoid allowing rotational movement of the head
Atlanto-axial joint
A diarthrodial joint between the head of the rib and the adjacent vertebral bodies
Costo-central articulation
A diarthrodial joint between the rib tubercle and the transverse process of the corresponding vertebra
Costo-transverse articulation
The articulation between ribs and rib cartilage classified as a synarthrosis
Costo-chondral joint
A diarthrodial joint between the cartilages of the sternal ribs and the sternum
Chondro-sternal joint
A joint between sternal segments that begins as a synchondrosis and later ossifies into a synostosis
Intersternal joint
A diarthrodial enarthrosis between the humeral head and glenoid cavity allowing primarily flexion and extension
Shoulder joint
A diarthrodial ginglymus between the distal humerus and proximal radius and ulna allowing flexion and extension
Elbow joint
A composite joint including radiocarpal intercarpal and carpometacarpal articulations allowing flexion extension and gliding
Carpal joint
A diarthrodial hinge-gliding joint between the distal metacarpals first phalanx and proximal sesamoids allowing flexion and extension
Fetlock joint
A diarthrodial hinge joint between the first and second phalanges allowing limited flexion and extension
Pastern joint
A diarthrodial hinge joint between the second and third phalanges and the navicular bone allowing flexion and extension
Coffin joint
A diarthrodial arthrodial joint between the auricular surfaces of the ilium and sacrum allowing slight gliding movement
Sacroiliac joint
A diarthrodial enarthrosis between the femoral head and acetabulum allowing multi-directional movement
Hip joint
A ligament spanning the notch of the acetabulum
Transverse acetabular ligament
A ligament running from the sub-pubic groove to the femoral head fovea
Round ligament
A ligament unique to horses running from the prepubic tendon alongside the round ligament
Accessory ligament
A complex joint consisting of the femoropatellar and femorotibial articulations
Stifle joint
A diarthrodial arthrodial joint between the trochlea of the femur and the patella allowing gliding
Femoropatellar joint
The lateral middle and medial ligaments of the stifle joint
Patellar ligaments
A diarthrodial ginglymus between the femoral condyles and proximal tibia with interposed articular menisci allowing flexion and extension
Femorotibial joint
A composite diarthrodial ginglymus composed of tibio-tarsal intertarsal and tarso-metatarsal joints allowing primarily flexion and extension
Hock joint
