Exam 2: Joint Articulations Flashcards
What are the three functional classes of joint?
- Synarthrotic joints -> immovable joints
- Amphiarthrotic joints -> slightly movable joints
- Diarthrotic joints -> freely movable joints
What are the three structural classes of joints?
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
Which type of joint has a joint cavity?
Synovial joints
Name the three types of fibrous joints.
- Sutures in the skull (synarthrotic in adults, amphiarthrotic in babies)
- Gomphoses located between the teeth and bony alveolar sockets (synarthrotic)
- Syndesmoses -> bones connected by interosseous membranes or bones connected by ligaments (synarthrotic)
What are the 6 types of synovial joints?
- Plane joints
- Pivot joints
- Saddle joints
- Hinge joints
- Condyloid joints
- Ball-and-socket joints
T/F: All synovial joints are diarthrotic joints.
T
Name the class and subtype of joint shown.
Fibrous joint -> Suture
Name the class and subtype of joint shown.
Fibrous joint -> Syndesmosis
Name the class and subtype of the joint shown.
Fibrous joint -> Gomphosis
Which fibrous joints are considered amphiarthrotic?
- Sutures in a baby skull
- syndesmosis joints of bones that are connected by interosseous membranes
Which fibrous joints are considered synarthrotic?
- Sutures in adult skull
- Gomphoses
- Syndesmosis joints of bones connected by ligaments
What are the types of carilaginous joints?
- Synchondroses -> joints with bones connected via hyaline cartilage
- Symphyses -> joints with bones connected by fibrocartilage
T/F: Synchondrosis joints are amphiarthrotic.
F; They’re synarthrotic
T/F: Symphyses joints are amphiarthrotic
T
An epiphyseal plate is an example of a ___ joint.
synchondroses (cartilaginous)
