Exam 3 - Joints, Muscular System, Muscles Flashcards
joint definition
aka articulation: any points where two bones meet
arthrology
study of joint structure, fxn, and dysfxn
kinesiology
study of musculoskeletal movement
biomechanics
broad range of motion, mechanical process
joints named after
bones involved
joints classified according to
way adjacent bones are bound to each other, with differences in freedom of movement
bony joints
aka synosteses
immovable
two bones ossified together
fusion of fibrous or cartilaginous joints
ex: mandibular bones, cranial sutures, epiphyses with diaphyses, first rib to sternum
fibrous joints
aka synarthrosis or synarthrodial joints
collagen fibers bind
little to no movement
3 types
3 types of fibrous joints
suture
gomphosis
syndesmosis
suture joints
immobile joints short fibers little/no movement skull bones classifications: serrate (interlocked), lap (squamous - overlapped, plane (butt) - straight, non-overlapped
serrate suture joints
interlocked
lap suture joints
squamous
overlapped
plane suture joints
butt
straight, non-overlapped
gomphoses joints
short fibers little/no movement tooth to socket held in place by periodontal ligament some movement due to chewing stress
syndesmoses joints
longer collagen fibers bind two bones
limited mobility
ulna-radius and tibia-fibula
cartilaginous joints
amphiarthrosis or amphiarthrodial longer fibers more movement cartilage link two types: synchondrosis and symphyses
synchondrosis carilaginous joints
hyaline cartilage
epiphyseal plate
first rib/sternum
symphysis cartilaginous joints
fibrocartilage
pubic symphysis
IVDs
synovial joints
diarthrosis or diarthrodial
freely movable to limited mobility
most structurally complex
most likely to develop uncomfortable or crippling dysfxns
general anatomy of synovial joints
articular cartilage joint cavity joint capsule synovial fluid synovial membrane macrophages articular disc meniscus tendons ligaments bursa
articular cartilage (synovial joint)
hyaline cartilage
facing surface of bone
joint cavity (synovial joint)
narrow space between bones
joint capsule (synovial joint)
encloses cavity
retains fluid
fibrous capsule
synovial fluid
viscous and slippery
nourishes articular cartilage
removes waste
makes synovial joint movement friction-free
