Exam 1 Flashcards
Joint mobility vs stability
mobility - unstable
immobile - stable
most mobile joint
shoulder
most immobile
suture
synarthrosis joint
immovable
amphiarthrosis joint
slightly movable
diarthrosis joint
freely movable
fibrous joint
connected by fibrous tissue
cartilaginous joint
connected by cartilage
synovial joint
contains a fluid filled joint cavity
structure of diarthrosis
synovial joint
structure of synarthrosis and amphiarthrosis
fibrous, cartilaginous
three types of fibrous joints
suture, gomphosis, syndesmosis
suture
synarthrotic
gomphosis
synarthrotic
peg in socket joint
tooth in gums
syndesmosis
amphiarthrotic
bone more widely separated - held by connective tissue
tibia/fibula + ulna/radius
types of cartilaginous joints
synchondroses, symphyses
synchondroses
synarthrotic
joined by hyaline cartilage
rib and manubrium
symphyses
amphiarthrotic
connected by fibrocartilage
between vertebrae
synovial joint
diarthrotic
knee
articular disc
fibrocartilage structure between articulating bone - temporomandiubular joint
bursa
connective tissue sac filled with lubricating fluid
padding between joint - protect tendon from underlying bone
tendon sheath
surround muscle tendon where tendon crosses joint
hold from popping out
menisci
padding of the joint
large c shape
muscle
stabilize the joint
