Q

what are the characteristics of the (amphiarthrosis) synchondrosis?

A

they are primary cartilage joints, temporary in longevity, composed of hyaline cartilage and form between ossification centers within a cartilage template

Q

what are the characteristics of a (amphiarthrosis) symphysis?

A

limited motion, median plane location, support ligaments both anterior and posterior to the joint, more permanent in longevity than synchondrosis and they occur between bones developing by endochondral ossification

Q

what are the characteristics of the type I articular receptors?

A

located in the superficial layer of the fibrous capsule, resemble ruffini endings, most numerous in cervical zygapophyses and they monitor the joint “at rest”

Q

located in deeper strata of the fibrous capsule, resemble pacinian corpuscles, most numerous in the cervical spine and monitor the joint during normal range of motion

Q

intra-articular discs are a feature of what joints examples?

A

temporomandibular, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular and radio-ulnar joints

17
Q

synovial menisci are a feature of what joint examples?

A

femur-tibia articulation, cervical zygapophyses and lumbar zygapophyses

18
Q

what are the specific functions of type A synovial cells?

A

are phagocytic

19
Q

what are the specific functions of type B synovial cells?

A

secrete proteinaceous substances and hyaluronic acid

20
Q

which collagen fiber type predominates in articular cartilage?

A

type II

21
Q

what is the primary function of bound glycosaminoglycans in articular cartilage?

A

form a network for water retention

22
Q

what is implied when cartilage is said to have elastic properties?

A

cartilage can deform and returns to original volume rapidly, a time independent property

23
Q

what is implied when cartilage is said to have viscoelastic properties?

A

cartilage can deform but returns to original volume slowly, a time dependent property

24
Q

which theory of joint lubrications implies a loss of fluid from the cartilage into the joint space during compression results in increased viscosity of the synovial joint?

A

weeping theory

25
Q

which theory of joint lubrication implies water loss from the synovial fluid increases viscosity of the remaining synovial fluid?

A

boosted theory

26
Q

which theory of joint lubrication implies an absorption of lubricant onto cartilage surfaces is responsible for the low-friction observed during movement?

A

boundary theory

27
Q

what are the properties of synovial fluid?

A

it is yellow-white, viscous, slightly alkaline and tastes salty

28
Q

which substance in synovial fluid was first thought to be responsible for its viscosity and lubricating behavior?

A

hyaluronate

29
Q

what substance of synovial fluid has been proposed to be responsible for its viscosity and lubricating behavior?

A

lubricin

30
Q

what is a complex synovial joint (diarthrosis)?

A

within the simple joint or the compound joint, the articulating surfaces are separated by an articular disc (intra-articular disc) or meniscus

31
Q

what morphological classification of synovial joints is classified as nonaxial?

A

plane (diarthrosis arthrodial)

32
Q

what morphological classificatinos of synovial joints would be classified as uniaxial?

A

hinge (diarthrosis ginglymus) and pivot (diarthrosis trochoid)

33
Q

what morphological classifications of synovial joints would be classified as biaxial?

A

(diarthrosis) bicondylar, (diarthrosis) condylar, (diarthrosis) ellipsoidal and saddle (diarthrosis sellar)

34
Q

what morphological classification of synovial joints would be classified as multiaxial?

A

ball and socket (diarthrosis enarthrosis), (diarthrosis spheroidal), (diarthrosis cotyloid) are all classifications given to the same type of joint

35
Q

what are the examples of synovial pivot (diarthrosis trochoid) joints?

A

median atlanto-axial joint and proximal radio-ulnar joint

36
Q

what are examples of diarthrosis condylar or diarthrosis bicondylar joints?

A

temporomandibular joint and femur-tibia joint of the knee

37
Q

what are examples of diarthrosis ellipsoidal joints?

A

radiocarpal joint of the wrist, metacarpo-phalangeal joints of the hand, metatarsal-phalangeal joints of the foot and the atlanto-occipital joint of the vertebral column

38
Q

what are examples of synovial saddle (diarthrosis sellar) joints?

A

carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, talocrural joint of the ankle and the calcaneocuboid joint of the foot

39
Q

what are examples of diarthrosis cotyloid joints?

A

femur-acetabulum of the innominate articulation at the hip and the humerus and glenoid cavity of the scapula articulation at the shoulder
