Osteoarthritis
Surrounding a diathesis/ synovial joint is ____ capsule.
Articular capsule
What are the 2 layers that make up the articular capsule and their functions?
- An outer fibrous membrane
- a.k.a capsular ligament
- helps hold bone together - An inner synovial membrane
- a.k.a synovium
- produces synovial fluid
What does synovial fluid do?
Lubricate
absorbs shock
provides nutrition
Accessory ligaments include ____ & _____. What do they do for the bone?
Intracapsular ligament & extracapsular ligament
Help hold bone together!
Menisci is _____.
Articular discs
What are menisci made of? What do they do? Where are they located?
- made of - fibrocartilage
- do - allows a better fit between bones/ and absorb shock
- located - Inside joint cavity
Bursae is _____. Located _____ of a joint and helps the bone by _____ it.
sacs of synovial fluid
outside of joint
cushioning/protecting it
A patient diagnosed with bursitis has _____
Swollen bursa
Classifications of synovial/diarthrosis joints are classified based on ____ & the ____ allowed..
Shape and movement
List the 6 movement classifications of synovial/ diarthrosis joints & describe them
