Exam 4 Flashcards
Joint/Articulation
Place of contact between bone and cartilage or bone and teeth
Where do joints exists?
Anywhere bones come together
Fibrous Joint
No joint cavity, occurs where bones are held together by dense regular CT
3 types of fibrous joints
Tooth to jaw, lambdoid suture, between radius and ulna, between tibia and fibula
Cartilaginous joint
No cavity and occurs where bone are joined by cartilage
2 types of cartilaginous joints
Epiphyseal plates, intervertebral disc articulations
Synovial joint
Fluid filled Joint cavity that separates articulating surface of bones formed by ligaments
6 types of synovial joints
Plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle joint
Synarthrosis
Immobile joint
Amphiarthrosis
Slightly mobile joint
Diarthrosis
Freely mobile joint
Suture
Synarthrosis/Immobile fibrous joints found between certain bones of the skull
Function of a suture
Have interlocking irregular edges that increase strength and decrease numbers of fractures
Syndemoses joint
Amphiarthrosis/slightly mobile fibrous joint where articulating bones are joined by long strands of dense regular CT
Interosseous Membrane
Broad ligamentous sheet that provides a pivot where he radius/ulna or tibia/fibula can move against one another
Gomphosis Joint
Synarthrosis/immobile “Peg in socket joint” root of the tooth is the peg and the mandible and maxilla are the socket it goes into
Synchondrosis
Articulation where bones are joined by Hyaline cartilage
Example of a synchondrosis articulation
Costochondral joints between the first rib and the sternum that are synarthrosis/immobile
Symphyses
Pad of fibrocartilage between articulating bone that resists both compression and tension stresses and acts as shock absorber
Example of symphesis
Pubic symphesis; amphiarthrosis/slightly mobile
Distinct features of synovial joint
Freely mobile articulations. Composed of a double layer capsule called articulating capsule . Outer layer is fibrous layer. Inner layer is synovial membrane.
Articular capsule
Envelope surrounding synovial joint
What are the two layers of the Articular Capsule?
Fibrous layer & synovial membrane
3 purposes of synovial fluid
Lubricate articular cartilage, nourish the chondrocytes, acts as shock absorber
Joint cavity
Space that permits separation of articulating bones
Bursa
Fibrous saclike structure that contains synovial fluid and lined internally by synovial membranes
Tendon sheaths
An elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon where there is excessive friction
Fat pads
Found along synovial joints and act as a packing material and provide protection to the joint
Plane joint
Simplest synovial articulation and least mobile type of diarthrosis. Intercarpal and intertarsal joints
Hinge joint
Formed between two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis or flex/extend in one direction. Ankle, elbow, knee joints.
Pivot joint
Uniaxial joint where one articulating bone with a rounded surface fits into a ring formed by a ligament and another bone.
Condylar joint
Bisexual joints with oval/convex surface. Can move in two axes: front/back, side/side. Joints of the fingers AKA knuckles
Saddle joint
Resembles a saddle, biaxial joint that allows a greater range of movement- joints of the thumb that allow grasping are saddle joints.
Ball & Socket joint
Multiaxial Joints where the spherical head fits into a rounded socket of the second bone. Hip and shoulder joints. Moves in 3 directions
Bursitis
Inflammation of fluid filled pads (bursae) that acts as joints cushions. Found in shoulder, hip and elbow
Tendonitis
Tissue connecting muscle to bone becomes inflamed. Tennis elbow
Arthritis
Inflammatory or degenerative disease of the joints. Swelling of the joint, pain, and stiffness.
Angular motion
Either increases or decreases the angle between bones
Flexion
Movement in an interior-posterior plane of the body that decreases angle between bones (bending finger towards palm to make fist)
Extension
Movement is anterior-posterior that increases angle between articulating bones. Straightening out clenched fingers.
Lateral flexion
Occurs when the trunk of the body moves in a coronal place laterally away from the body
Hyperextension
When a joint is extended more than 180 degrees
Abduction
Means to move away and is lateral movement of a body part away from the midline
Adduction
Move toward. Medial movement of a body part toward the midline.
Circumduction
Movements in which proximal end of appendage remains stationary while the distal end makes a circular motion
Rotation
Pivoting motion in which a bone turns on its own longitudinal axis
Pronation
Forearm rotates laterally so palm faces anteriorly or superiorly.
Supination
Outward roll of the foot during normal motion
Depression
Inferior movement of a part of the body. Movement mandible makes while opening mouth to chew.
Elevation
Superior movement of a body part. Movement the mandible makes when closing its mouth
Dorsiflexion
When the ankle joint is bent such that the superior surface of the foot and toes move toward the leg
Plantar flexion
Movement of the foot that point the toes inferiorly. (When a ballerina is in her toes, her ankle joint is in full plantar flexion.)
Inversion
Soles of the foot turn medially
Eversion
Sole of the foot turns to face laterally
Protraction
Anterior movement of a body part from anatomical position
Retraction
Posteriorly directed movement of a body part from the anatomical position
Opposition
Enables the hand to grasp objects
Reposition
Thumb moves away from the Palmer tips of the fingers
Lymph
Interstitial fluid inside lymph vessels
Where does lymph come from
Originates as interstitial fluid surrounding tissue cells
What’s in lymph
Water, dissolved solutes (ions), small amounts of protein m, and foreign material; cell debris, pathogens, and sometimes metastasized cancer cells
How much lymph do we make daily
3 liters
Lymphatic capillaries
Microscopic closed ended vessels that absorb interstitial fluid; the smallest lymph vessels.
Where are lymphatic capillaries located
I’m areolar CT among blood capillary networks
How does interstitial fluid enter lymphatic capillaries?
Through absorption
What prevents interstitial fluid from leaving lymphatic capillaries?
One way overlapping endothelial cells that open but do not close.
What do we call interstitial fluid once it enters a lymphatic capillary?
Lymph
Lacteal
Lymphatic capillaries located within the GI tract that allow absorption of lipid soluble substances from the GI tract
Lymphatic vessel
Thin walled vessels that carry lymph
How is lymph moved through a lymphatic vessel
Contraction of nearby skeletal muscles and respiratory pump in the torso, pulsatile movement of blood in nearby arteries, rhythmic contraction of smooth muscle
