Exam 3 - Study Guides Flashcards
3 Functional Classifications of Joints
Synathroses - Immovable (Sutures, Tooth), Amphiarthroses - Slightly movable (sternum), Diarthroses - freely movable
Fibrous Joints
Bones joined by dense fibrous connective tissue most immovable and include sutures, ligaments, gomphoses
Cartilaginous Joints
Bones united by cartilage, no joint cavity, not highly movable include synchondrosoes and symphyses (pubic, discs)
Synovial Joints
Bones separated by fluid-filled cavity, all are diarthrotic, most joints and all limb joints
6 Characteristics of Synovial Joints
- Articular Cartilage (Hyaline) 2. Joint Cavity (Fluid filled) 3. Articular (joint) Capsule (external fibrous layer, inner synovial membrane) 4. Synovial Fluid (viscous, dyaluronic acid with phagocytes, lubricates) 5. Reinforcing Ligaments (capsular, extracapsular, intracapsular) 6. Nerves and Blood Vessels
4 Other Features of Synovial
Fatty Pads, Articular Discs (meniscus), Bursae, Tendon Sheaths (elongated bursae wrapped with tendon)
3 Stabilizing factors of Synovial Joints
Shapes of articular surfaces, Ligament number and location, muscle tendons that cross joint
Movements of Joints
Nonaxial (slipping only, carpal/tarsal) Uniaxial (movement of one plane, elbow), Biaxial ( movement in 2 planes, mandible), Multiaxial (all planes ball & Socket)
Angular Movements
Flexion, Extension, Abduction, adduction, circumduction
Gliding
relatively flat bone surfaces move past each other, but they produce very littlemovementof the bones
Specific Movements
Supination/Pronation, Dorsiflexion/Plantar Flexion, inversion/eversion, protraction/retraction, elevation/depression, opposition
Types of Synovial Joints
Plane, Hinge, Pivot, Condylar, Saddle, Ball & Socket
Plane Joints
Nonaxial, gliding, metacarpals, flat articular surfaces
Hinge Joints
Uniaxial, elbows, fingers, flexion/extension
Pivot Joints
Uniaxial, sleeve and axle (ulna/radius)
Condylar joint
Biaxial, Metacarpal/phalange
Saddle Joint
Biaxial, Abduction/adduction, Flex/ext, thumb
Ball & Socket Joint
Multiaxial, all movement, shoulder/hip
Knee Joint
Larges most complex Joint with at least 12 associated bursae and a tendon reinforced capsule
4 Rotator Cuff Tendons
Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor
Cartilage Tears
Stress compression, arthroscopic surgery, removal, less stable leads to osteoarthritis
Sprains
stretch or torn ligament, slowly repairs
Dislocation
Bones forced out of alignment, reduced to treat subluxation, inflammation and loosening of ligaments
