Exam 2 Flashcards
3 Types of Synarthrotic Joints
Fibrous - Suture, Gomphosis
Cartilaginous - Synchondrosis
2 Types of Amphiarthrotic Joints
Fibrous - Syndesmosis
Cartilaginous - Symphysis
3 Joint Movements
Synarthrotic - No movement
Amphiarthrotic - Some movement
Diarthrotic - Full motion
3 Fibrous Joints
Sutures
Gomphosis
Syndesmosis
2 Cartilaginous Joints
Synchondrosis
Symphysis
6 Types of Synovial Joints
Plane/Gliding
Hinge
Pivot
Condyloid/Ellipsoid
Saddle
Ball-and-Socket
2 Examples of Ball-and-Socket Joints
Shoulder - humerus & scapula
Hip - femur & pelvis
Ex: of Saddle Joint
Trapezium & Metatarsal 1
Ex: Ellipsoid Joint
Metatarsals & Proximal Phalanges
Ex: Pivot Joint
Ephiphysis of Ulna/Radius
3 Examples of Hinge Joint
Temporal Bone & Mandible
Elbow
Knee
Ex: Gliding/Plane Joint
Between Carpals &
Between Tarsals
Ex: Gomphosis
Teeth & Alveolar Processes
2 Examples of Syndesmosis
Between Diaphysis of Ulna & Radius
Between Diaphysis of Tibia & Fibula
Examples of Sutures:
Sagittal Suture - divides head in L&R halves
Squamous Suture - above ear
Coronal Suture - between frontal & parietal bones
Lamboid Suture - between Occipital & Parietal bones
Articular Cartilage
Cartilage pad that covers the surface of a bone inside a joint cavity
Synovial Cavity
Fluid filled chamber in a diarthrotic joint
Synovial Fluid
Substance secreted by synovial membrane that lubricates the joint
Articular Capsule
Dense collagen fiber sleeve that surrounds a joint and provides protection & stabilization
Components of Articular Capsule
Fibrous Capsule
Synovial Membrane
Synovial Membrane is in what anatomical direction to the Fibrous Capsule?
Deep
Extracapsular Ligaments “Screw Mechanism” at the Hip Allow What Motion?
Resist What Motion?
Allow Anterior Motion (Flexion)
Resist Posterior Motion (Extension)
What are Bursae?
Where do they form?
What do they do?
Bursae are small, fluid-filled pockets in connective tissue.
They form where a tendon or ligament rubs against other tissues.
They reduce friction & act as a shock absorber
What are Menisci?
What do they do?
Where are they located?
- Fibrous Cartilage pads between opposing surfaces in a joint
- Allow for variations in the shapes of articular surfaces & restrict movements at the joint. *Make pockets that make knee more stable
- In the joint capsule
What is a Tendon Sheath?
Protective covering for the tendon
What is injured in the Unhappy Triad?
MCL
Medial Meniscus
ACL
