Exam 1: General concepts of muscles, synovial joints and connective tissue associated & muscle actions Flashcards
A fluid-filled cavity intervenes between the bones
Synovial joints
Every synovial joint
MUST have at least
1- Articular cartilage
2- Synovial membrane
3- Fibrous layer of joint
capsule
4- Synovial cavity filled with
synovial fluid
2- Synovial membrane +
3- Fibrous layer of joint
capsule forms a what
joint capsule
What is #4
Synovial cavity filled with
synovial fluid
what is #3
Fibrous layer of joint
capsule
what is #2
Synovial membrane
what is #1
Articular cartilage
What is the red arrow pointing to
periosteum
what kind of pressure is in the joint capsule?
Positive or negative?
NEGATIVE
What part of the synovial joint has articular villi that cover more surface and allows for more blood flow
synovial membrane
What is the function of synovial fluid in synovial joints
Avoid the friction
Nutrients for the articular cartilage
(oil for the system, like a car)
What is the normal color and consistency of synovial fluid
caramel color
sticky, egg white consistency
dense fibrous
connective tissue that attaches bone-bone, bone-cartilage or cartilage-cartilage and serves
to hold structures together and keep them stable
Ligament
In a luxation (Medical term for dislocation) ___________are injured.
ligaments
What are the classification of ligaments
◼ Capsular
◼ Intracapsular
◼ Extracapsular
◼ Yellow/flavum (elastic)
thickenings of the fibrous capsule itself that take the form of either bands or triangles
Capsular ligament
What is the blue shaded area representing
Capsular ligament (type of ligament of a synovial joint)
What are the 2 blue arrows pointing to
Capsular ligament
ligaments located inside
the articular capsule
(not within the articular cavity)
Intra capsular ligaments
What is the red dotted line pointing to
Synovial cavity (intraarticular cavity) filled with synovial fluid
What are the green arrows pointing to
Intra capsular ligaments
(e.g. Cranial cruciate ligg.
Inside the stifle joint)
what is the blue arrow pointing to
Intra capsular ligaments
(e.g.Intercarpal Interosseous lig.)
Ligaments located outside
the articular capsule
Extra-capsular ligaments
(demonstrated in red)
what is the yellow arrow pointing to
Extra capsular ligaments
(e.g.Lateral collateral lig. of genual joint)
Ligaments that contain elastic fibers that
gives a yellowish color
Yellow (elastic) ligaments
What is the purple arrow pointing to
Yellow (elastic) ligaments
(e.g. Nuchal lig. in the neck)
What is the red arrow pointing to
Extra capsular ligaments (collateral lig.)
What is the blue arrow pointing to
Fibrous capsule
What is the green arrow pointing to
synovial membrane
what is this structure
periosteum
What do the two black lines point to
top: Joint cavity (contains synovial fluid)
bottom: articular (hyaline) cartilage
In SOME joints there are fibrous cartilage. What are the 3 types
Labrum
Meniscus
Discos
What is #1 referring to
Labrum
